SERIAL KILLERS BASED MYSTERIES.

PSHYCOPATH.

psychopathy is genetically determined, one should expect some abnormality in the brain, the immediate source of psychopathic traits. A possible candidate for this abnormality has recently been identified ina study at University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Brain scans revealed that psychopathy in criminals was associated with decreased connectivity between the amygdala, a subcortical structure of the brain that processes negative stimuli, and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), a cortical region in the front of the brain that interprets the response from the amygdala.

When the connectivity between these two regions is low, processing of negative stimuli in the amygdala does not translate into any strongly felt negative emotions.
This fits well into the picture we have of psychopaths. They do not feel nervous or embarrassed when they are caught doing something bad. They do not feel sad when other people suffer. Though they feel physical pain, they are not themselves in a position to suffer from emotions hurts.

It could be caused by a dysfunction of neurotransmitters, for example, by a disturbance to the main excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate.
Alternatively, it could be a degenerative disease that leads to a reduction of the brain’s white matter, which is responsible for connectivity among neurons. The answer to what causes reduced connectivity in the brain’s emotional system would help answer some of the bigger questions about psychopaths, for example, the question of whether disorder is partially due to social factors or is primarily genetically based.

Social factors have some role to play in generating psychopathy. But after many years of investigating the minds of psychopaths, researchers have been unable to find any factors that could contribute to the development of psychopathic traits.

SERIAL KILLERS.

Motivations involved in serial killings are fears of rejection, power, and perfection. Serial killers tend to be insecure, and irrationally scared of rejection. He will try to avoid developing a painful relationship with his object of desire andis terrified of being abandoned, humiliated, or exposed. Many killers often have sex the ultimate form of intimacy with their victims, and often with the corpse.

That way, the possibility of rejection is null. Serial killers also enjoy prolonging the suffering of their victims as it gives them a sense of power over the victim. They get to decide whether, and how, the victim will live or die.Fears of rejection and power are major themes of most serial killings, but perfection plays a role in some cases.

Some killers seek to improve something. They often see a category of people, such as women or prostitutes, as unclean. In that case, the killer is a special being and the victim is “chosen” and should be grateful. They often find the victim’s ingratitude infuriating, though unfortunately foreseeable.

Serial killers must continuously kill simply because they are addicted to the feelings they get when they do. They also rationalize every aspect and detail of their behavior so there is no reason in their head as to why they should stop. They know what they’re doing, the consequences of their actions, and how to avoid getting caught.

Most serial killers, and psychopaths in general, are “consummate chameleons” who are able to hide their rage and true intentions behind a charismatic, civilizedfaçade called the mask of sanity. They know the difference between right and wrong, they do not care and lack feelings of remorse or guilt. They tend to objectify other people and treat them as if they were objects.

They don’t know how to have sympathy for others because of their psychopathic nature, but they do know how to simulate it by observing others.Their killings are material symptoms of the combination of their lifelong habits and personal motivations and fears. Though those factors are not excuses for hurting others.

TRUE SERIAL KILLERS. 

WHITE CHAPEL MURDERS

The Whitechapel murders were committed in or near the impoverished White chapel districtin the East End of London between 3 April 1888 and 13 February 1891. At various points some or all of these eleven unsolved murders of women have been described to the notorious unidentified serial killer known as Jack the Ripper.

Eleven deaths in or near White chapel between 1888 and 1891 were gathered into a single file, referred to in the police docket as the Whitechapel murders.Much of the original material has been either stolen or destroyed. Abberline retired in 1892, and Matthews lost office inthat year's general election. Arnold retired the following year, and Swanson and Anderson retired after 1900.
There are no documents in the Whitechapel murder file dated after 1896.

The murderer or murderers were never identified and the cases remain unsolved. Sensational reportage and the mystery surrounding the identity of the killer or killers fed the development of the character "Jack the Ripper", who was blamed for all or most of the murders.Hundreds of books and articles discuss the Whitechapel murders, and they feature innovels, short stories, comic books, television shows, and filmsof multiple genres.

JACK THE RIPPER UNIDENTIFIED SERIAL KILLER.

AXE MAN OF NEW ORLEANS.

As the killer's epithetimplies, the victims usually were attacked with an axe, which often belonged to the victims themselves.In most cases, a panel on a back door of a home was removed by a chisel, which were both left on the floor near the door, followed by an attack on one or more of the residents with either an axe or straight razor.

The crimes were not robberies, and the perpetrator never removed items from his victims' homes.
The majority of the Axeman's victims were Italian immigrants or Italian-American, leading many to believe that the crimes were ethnically motivated. Many media outlets sensationalized this aspect of the crimes, even suggesting Mafia involvement despite lack of evidence. Some crime analysts have suggested that the killings were related to sex, and that the murderer was perhaps a sadist seeking female victims.

Criminologists Colin and Damon Wilson hypothesize that the Axeman killed male victims only when they obstructed his attempts to murder women, supported by cases in which the woman of the household was murdered but not the man. A less plausible theory is that the killer committed the murders in anattempt to promote jazz music, suggested by a letter attributed to the killer in which he stated that he would spare the lives of those who played jazz in their homes.

The Axeman was not caught or identified, and his crime spree stopped as mysteriously as it had started. The murderer's identity remains unknown to this day, although various possible identifications of varying plausibility have been proposed. On March 13, 1919, a letter purporting to be from the Axeman was published in newspapers saying that he would kill again at 15 minutes past midnight on the night of March 19, but would spare the occupants of any place where a jazz band was playing.

That night all of New Orleans' dance halls were filled to capacity, and professional and amateur bands played jazz at parties at hundreds ofhouses around town. There were no murders that night.Not everyone was intimidated by the Axeman. Some well-armed citizens submitted announcements to newspapers challenging the Axeman to visit their houses. One promised to leave a window open for the Axeman, politely asking that he not damage the front door.

ZODIAC KILLER.

The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The killer's identity remains unknown. The Zodiac murdered victims in Benicia,Vallejo,Lake Berryessa, and San Francisco between December 1968 and October 1969. Four men and three women between the ages of 16 and 29 were targeted. The killer originated the name "Zodiac" in a series of taunting letters sent to the local Bay Area press.

These letters included four cryptograms. Of the four cryptograms sent, only one has been definitively solved.Suspects have been named by law enforcement and amateur investigators, but no conclusive evidence has surfaced. The San Francisco Police Department(SFPD) marked the case "inactive" in April 2004, but re-opened it at some point prior to March 2007.

The case also remains open in the city of Vallejo, as well as in Napa County andSolano County. TheCalifornia Department of Justice has maintained an open case file on the Zodiacmurders since 1969.

AUTO SANKAR.

Shankar and his gang, consisting of his younger brother Auto Mohan and associates Eldin and Shivaji, as well as Jayavelu, Rajaraman, Ravi, Palani and Paramasivam, were found guilty of six murders, committed over a period of two years in 1988–1989. They were tried for the murders of Lalitha, Sudalai, Sampath, Mohan, Govindaraj and Ravi.

The bodies of the victims were either burnt or buried inside residential houses. In late 1988, over a period of approximately six months, nine teenage girls from the Thiruvanmiyur section of Chennai disappeared. In the beginning, investigators believed that the girls had been sold intovprostitution by families unable to afford weddingdowries, but the consistent denials by their kin forced them to seek another explanation.

Late in December, a schoolgirl named Subalakshmi claimed that an auto rickshaw driver had attempted to abduct her in front of a wine shop. Working undercover in the local wine shop back-rooms,detectives learned of a rumour that an auto driver called Shankar was behind the crimes, disposing of the bodies by cremating them and pouring the remains into the Bay of Bengal.

The following morning, the police picked up the suspect who overnight became known to the nation as "Auto Shankar". Shankar's trial completed by the Chengalpattu sessions court; He was sentenced to deathvalong with two of his associates, Eldin and Shivaji, on May 31, 1991. Auto Shankar was hanged in Salem Central Prison.

STONE MAN.

The first hint of a serial-killer who was targeting homeless rag pickers and beggars in India came from Bombay. Starting in 1985, and lasting well over two years, a series of twelve murders were committed in the Sion and King's Circle locality of the city.

The criminal or criminals'modus operandi was simple: first he or she would find an unsuspecting victim sleeping alone in a desolate area.
The victim's head was crushed with a single stone weighing as much as 30 kg. In most cases, the victims' identities could not be ascertained since they slept alone and did not have relatives or associates who could identify them. Compounded to this was the fact that the victims were people of very simple means and the individual crimes were not high-profile.

It was after the sixth murder that the Bombay Police began to see a pattern in the crimes. A stroke of luck seemed to come the police's way when a homeless waiter survived a brutal attack and managed to escape being bludgeoned to death. However, in the dimly lit area of Sion where he was sleeping, he had not been able to get a good look at his assailant, and what seemed like a big break came to naught.

Shortly afterwards, in 1987, a ragpicker was hacked to death in the adjoining suburb of Matunga. Even though the police and the media were quick to label this the handiwork of the same person, no evidence to link this crime with the others was ever found. As mysteriously as the killings had started,by the middle of 1988, they stopped.

To this date the case is unsolved.Summer of 1989 in Calcutta Whether or not the Bombay killings were linked to the Calcutta "Stoneman" killings has never been confirmed. However, the uncanny similarity in the instrument, choice of victims, execution, and the time of the attacks, suggests someone familiar with the Bombay episodes, if not the same killer.

The first victim in Calcutta died from injuries to the head in June 1989. Twelve more would die in the next six months as panic gripped the city. All of the murdered were homeless pavement-dwellers who slept alone in dimly lit areas of the city.Because the murderer killed victims by dropping a heavy stone or concrete slab, the police assumed that the assailant was probably a tall, well-built male.

However, in the complete absence of any eyewitnesses or survivors, no clear-cut leads were available.Massive deployments of police in various parts of the city at night were resorted to, and numerous arrests were made. After a spell of arrests in which a handful of "suspicious persons" were rounded up for questioning, the killings stopped. However, since there was no incriminating evidence,all those summarily arrested had to be released. To date, the crimes remain unsolved.
