Anyone who thinks women don’t possess a vicious streak hasn’t ruffled enough female feathers. For some reason the general public has a difficult time reconciling the fact that women are capable of committing brutal, torturous murders on par with their male counterparts.

More often than not I come across inaccurate information about female serial killers. We can’t protect ourselves if we don’t know who might be living next door, so I continued to dig.įor months I’ve been researching a lone female serial killer for a new true crime book (currently on submission). Not only does this skew the serial killer by state data, but it’s naïve, sexist, and shows a gender bias. Most researchers collect data on male serial killers, with an occasional Wuornos-esque female thrown in for good measure. To find the truth, and focus in on serial killers in particular, I spent hours researching this question. Some researchers claim the number is closer to sixteen. Social media claims you and I will walk past 36 murderers in our lifetime. Human nature fools us into thinking others who behave like us are like us. They shop at our grocery stores, attend our churches/synagogues, and mingle with neighbors, co-workers, and friends - and all without raising suspicions. One look at serial killers by state tells us that. Male and female serial killers walk among us. The general public believes they could spot a multiple murderer on sight, but that’s a dangerous misconception.
