Introduction Serial killers have been terrorizing communities and populations since the 1900s. Serial killers are often seen as ordinary citizens, such as the first known serial killer H.H. Holmes, who was a graduate of University of Michigan’s medical program (“H.H. Holmes”). While other serial killers, such as Ed Gein Circa, displayed extreme antisocial behaviors (Frese). But what qualities do serial killers posses that qualify them as mentally insane, and how do they contribute to the placement of a serial killer.
