« Last post by obsidian on Today at 02:14:02 AM »Unlikely to be any more serial killers nowadays with CCTV everywhere and mobile phone traceability.According to the FBI, there are an estimated 20–50 active serial killers in the United States at any given time, though some researchers put the number much higher, even up to 500.
If you want to kill multiple people it will have to be a one off mass shooting or move out into the sticks with no wifi
Modern surveillance doesn’t eliminate the threat. Serial killers can and do adapt. They can target areas with poor CCTV coverage, strike in remote locations, or destroy cameras and recordings. There’s still no shortage of vulnerable spaces.
Take the example from the movies Manhunter and Red Dragon: Francis Dolarhyde, a serial killer who invades homes at night and murders entire families while they sleep. He’s a physically imposing offender who overpowers victims before they can react. I know this is a fictional example, but a criminal with that method and profile could absolutely operate today. Many homes remain susceptible, especially those in isolated areas. In the films and books, Dolarhyde studied his victims in advance and used his job at a video lab to gain access to footage inside their homes. Fewer people use video labs today though. But some post videos on unsecured social media sites.
And as forensic science advances, offenders evolve as well. Serial killers today would focus on disposing of bodies in ways that destroy or obscure DNA evidence, making detection far more difficult.
