Before he is completely engulfed by the demise of his stability, he is asked the simple, existential question: “Why did you do it?” Being pushed to the brink of distress and forced to question his own insanity, he claims unsentimentally that his actions were solely based on his emotions,…

In What Would We Find in the Brain of a Serial Killer, Pemment states that the first disorder closely related with psychology is Antisocial Personality Disorder. According to (Pemment, 2013), “killers have a lower resting heart rate, and significant differences in their brains, such as reduced prefrontal gray matter, amydalar abnormalities, and an asymmetric hippocampus.” The more I read the more it appeared that serial executioners had numerous properties of a few unique personality disorders,…

Each killer has their own unique motives for killing and one of the hardest things to do is to determine the why the killer committed the crime. Television shows such as Criminal Minds make the job look easy. On the show it may only take the actors hours to look at the evidence, determine the behavior of the suspect, and develop a list of suspects, however, in real life, this process may take days, months, or even years to determine. Sadly, this means that the killer has more time to carry out…

Are serial killers born or made? Do you remember being a child? Being so innocent and full of life. Waking up and wondering when your favorite tv show is gonna come on or which toy to play with first. Waiting for your parents to wake up and being so impatient that you just run and jump into the bed so excited to get a goodmorning hug and kiss from your mom and dad. The excitement of knowing you’re gonna be able to go outside and play with all your friends and not worry about anything except…

Tilikum has caused the death of three people, during his time in captivity--- the most recent being that of Dawn Brancheau, an expert trainer for SeaWorld Orlando.
