The physical evidence provided at the crime scene was very little, however, the meaning behind the evidence was useful to the police. Furthermore, evidence that was received after the crime was also useful. The lack of evidence at the actual crime scene, which was at a vacant lot at thirty-ninth and Norton Streets, was due to reporters, news media, and also citizens arriving before police and trampling all over the area, possibly erasing any evidence that was available. The investigation was dragged out due to how many suspects and confessions that developed; some claim that there were around fifty confessions while others claim the numbers go up to five-hundred (Newton 40). All of the leads that were produced probably led police in the complete opposite direction of the true killer.
The street was flooded with cop cars and sirens by the time Detective Toussaint arrived on the scene. He briefly greeted his colleagues consisting of nearly the entire Erie Police Department, Forensics, and numerous other variations of uniform, all embellished with the familiar detailed charcoal and crimson emblem. As Detective Toussaint ducked and weaved his way skillfully through the barriers of striped plastic tape, Edward Linder, the Erie PD coroner and an unusually odd man both in looks and manner, had skulked over to join the Detective. Linder exclaimed abruptly, “Three murders!” with an enthusiastic grin, “Discovered by a neighbour when she heard a scream.

In 1998, Erik Jensen and Nathan Ybanez were high school students in a wealthy suburb of Denver and members of a band called Troublebound. Erik had a good childhood and relationship with his parents; Nathan’s story was quite the opposite. Within less than two years of the classmates meeting, Nathan had killed his mother, and Erik was incriminated and said to have participated in the killing, (a lie,) by another friend involved in the cover-up. They both got locked up, never to leave prison so long as they have a pulse. In the today’s world, juvenile justice is a huge concern of everyone involved. Many Supreme Court Justices feel that juveniles should be subject to life in prison, however, a majority feel that kids should not be subject to such
It's sick to think the killers find mirth from taking someone's life. Who would have the etiquette to feel the need to murder someone with no possible explanation? This wasn't a primitive case.

It appeared as if the magistrate was edifying and instructed the police officers that something wasn't right about the scene. The unorganized room made me realize objects insinuate to be out of place. Seconds later the cops caught
Creeping around the shadowy house, the predator found its prey waking to strange sounds. The victim lay facedown, with a sweating forehead pressed fearfully into the pillow, silently praying the noises would just go away. Suddenly the victim found himself straddled and pinned to the bed. He was unable to scream for help due to the pressure of the handle of a pick-axe against his throat, preventing any breath from escaping, much less any sound. The victim struggled beneath the weight of the assailant. The scant light from the sodium-arc street light outside cast a peculiar silhouette on the walls of the darkened room, projecting an image that looked oddly like that of a cowboy saddled upon
Serial killers have fascinated the imaginations of people for a long time. One of the most notorious serial killers is Jeffrey Dahmer whose gruesome murders shocked the nation. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer also known as Milwaukee monster was a notorious American serial killer and sexual offender in the 1980s and early 1990s. Between 1978 and 1991 Dahmer had murdered 17 men. His victims were usually raped, tortured, dismembered, and cannibalism was also involved. Jeffrey was a troubled child psychologically and his social skills had a lot to be desired. All the way through his childhood he was ignored and had queer fantasies of cadavers. In his adulthood this psychosocial status quo didn 't change and was in fact aggravated.
The National Geographic film, A Portrait of a Killer, examines the types of stress that living beings can endure, and how it can thus affect the rest of their bodies. Severe chronic stress can lead even lead to the destruction of brain cells. Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a neurobiologist of Stanford University who has been researching stress for over thirty years. In order to study stress and its implications upon nonhumans, he went to Africa to study baboons. This species has only three hours of stress caused by eating, and the rest of their daily routine is consumed by about nine hours of free time. Much like Western society, baboons socially stress out one another, as they have social hierarchies to regulate how them interact with one another.

A serial killer is a person who kills a number of people. They act in a series of 5 or more murders with a break period between each murder. Serial killers can go for months and years before they are usually caught. The victim is most likely the same for every killer- a prostitute or a hitchhiker -someone who, if they were to go missing would probably not be noticed (cite). Their victims may also have the same or similar attributes in gender, age, race or general look. Serial killers also stick by their modus operandi closely but may change it with when needed.
Serial murder is one of the most baffling crimes that occur in the U.S. and all over the world. Knight (2006) defines serial murder as the killing of three or more people over a period of more than 30 days, with a significant cooling-off period.
