Highly recommend this book! Called, "The Lust Killer" by Ann Rule. I love her as an author. She is very descriptive and honest, and this book reads like a TV show. You become so immersed in this twisted story. You won't wa.t to put it down! Thoroughly recommend, but I am told that the audibook is terrible. So, heads up! And if you don't like reading many novels, that is okay! I will be covering this story soon on here as well, so stay tuned! #follow #for #more!
Loving this creepy art, inspired by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!

**Headline: Saline County Sheriff's Office Fails to Protect Child, Officer Neglects to Verify Critical Information**
Back in July of this year, A tragic failure of responsibility occurred in Saline County. It was on the afternoon of July 30th when Officer Jordan of the Saline County Sheriff's Office in Shannon Hills, Arkansas, neglected to properly intervene in a dangerous custody dispute. The mother of a child, whom had been advised by the Pulaski County Sheriff's office in Little Rock, had requested assistance in retrieving her child and a vehicle from the father, who was driving a car with no functioning brakes.
Wait, what?
The car belonged to the mother, she had let him borrow it 2 months prior. The father had been refusing to return the vehicle the entire time, even after multiple calls to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office in Little Rock, AR for assistance. They said nothing could be done. This being because she had let him borrow it to begin with.
In fact, They refused to even look at the paperwork for the vehicle that the mother had in her possession, proving ownership.
Sometime later, the brakes had gone out. Still, the father refused to return the vehicle. Still he continued to refuse to return the children and had been spotted by several witnesses driving children in this unsafe vehicle.
Officer Jordan was then was supposed to meet both parents at the father’s residence to resolve the situation. After speaking to the mother on the phone and agreeing to meet her in the grocery store parking lot, However, he instead met solely with the father, who allegedly had presented paperwork for not only the wrong child, but for custody of the ESTATE of another child entirely. (This means the paperwork was for guardianship of the other child's lawsuit money after being ran over by a school bus, and not the other child himself, nor the child in question at the time. IN FACT, the child whom the papers pertained to, WAS WITH THE MOTHER WHILE SPEAKING TO OFFICER JORDAN! Rather than verifying the documents or investigating further, Officer Jordan accepted the father’s claims at face value. The mother was then denied access to both her child and the vehicle.
The very next day, the car was totaled in an accident due to the brake failure, narrowly avoiding a deadly tragedy involving the child. The community is demanding accountability for this grave negligence, which could have resulted in a fatal outcome. In the subsequent car wreck, the father was unable to stop the vehicle while coming off of an exit in Little Rock. He pulled the emergency brake, to no avail. He then turned the wheel to avoid the other cars, and multiple vehicles then struck the rear end of the vehicle and pushed him up and over the guard rail. Thankfully, no one was injured in any of the involved vehicles. Had officer Jordan done his job the way he should have, this car would not have been on the road and this wreck would not have happened. #SalineCountyNeglect #DemandJustice #OfficerAccountability #lawenforcementfails #miscarriageofjustice #outrage #justiceforhannahandkids #justiceforhannah #accountabilitynow #salinecountysherrifsoffice #shannonhillsarkansas

A serial killer is defined as a person who commits a series of murders, typically with a distinctive pattern, motive, or method, over a period of time. Key characteristics often associated with serial killers include
1. **Multiple Victims**: They kill more than one person, often with a cooling-off period between each murder.
2. **Distinctive Patterns**: There is usually a recognizable pattern or method to their killings, which may involve specific victim types (e.g., young women), certain locations, or particular rituals.
3. **Psychological Motivation**: Serial killers often have complex psychological motivations for their crimes, which may include power, control, sexual gratification, or a desire for attention.
4. **Cooling-off Period**: Unlike mass murderers who kill multiple people in a single event, serial killers have a period of time between each murder, during which they may return to their normal lives or plan their next crime.
5. **Repetitive Behavior**: They exhibit a repetitive behavior pattern in their crimes, which may evolve over time but generally retains certain core elements.
6. **Lack of Conscience or Remorse**: Many serial killers display a lack of remorse or empathy for their victims, viewing them as objects rather than individuals.
7. **Forensic Awareness**: Some serial killers demonstrate a degree of forensic awareness, taking steps to evade capture by altering their methods, locations, or victim selection.
Serial killers are distinct from other types of killers, such as spree killers or mass murderers, due to the specific criteria of multiple murders over time and the psychological complexities involved in their actions. Below are the top 10 most prolific serial killers of the modern world:
1. **Ted Bundy**: Known for his charm and intelligence, Bundy confessed to killing at least 30 young women in the 1970s. His modus operandi included luring victims by feigning injuries or authority.
2. **Jeffrey Dahmer**: Infamously dubbed the "Milwaukee Cannibal," Dahmer was responsible for the murders of 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991. He not only killed but also dismembered and sometimes cannibalized his victims.
3. **John Wayne Gacy**: A respected community figure known as "Pogo the Clown," Gacy was convicted of murdering 33 young men and boys in Chicago during the 1970s. He buried many of his victims beneath his house.
4. **Andrei Chikatilo**: Nicknamed the "Butcher of Rostov," Chikatilo murdered and mutilated at least 52 women and children in Russia between 1978 and 1990. His crimes were marked by extreme violence and sexual depravity.
5. **Ed Gein**: Although not a prolific killer (only two confirmed murders), Gein's crimes in Wisconsin during the 1950s were notorious for their gruesome nature. He inspired the characters of Norman Bates in *Psycho* and Leatherface in *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre*.
6. **Aileen Wuornos**: One of the rare female serial killers, Wuornos was convicted of killing seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Her troubled past and claims of self-defense garnered significant media attention.
7. **Dennis Rader**: Known as the "BTK Killer" (Bind, Torture, Kill), Rader terrorized Wichita, Kansas, between 1974 and 1991. He sent taunting letters to police and media detailing his crimes, which included 10 known murders.
8. **Richard Ramirez**: Dubbed the "Night Stalker," Ramirez terrorized Los Angeles and San Francisco in the mid-1980s, committing at least 13 murders along with numerous assaults and burglaries. His penchant for satanic symbols added to his chilling persona.
9. **Pedro Rodrigues Filho**: This Brazilian killer is believed to have murdered over 70 people, mostly other criminals or those he believed had wronged him. His troubled childhood and vengeful motivations shaped his violent path.
10. **Harold Shipman**: A British doctor, Shipman was found guilty in 2000 of murdering 15 patients, although he is suspected of killing many more. His role as a trusted healthcare professional who betrayed his patients' trust added a horrifying twist to his crimes.
These individuals represent some of the darkest aspects of human behavior, each leaving a trail of devastation and fear in their wake. Understanding their motives and methods offers a sobering look into the depths of criminal psychology and serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and justice in our society. I also find it very interesting that to the nine different men, there is only one woman. I wonder why? I don't believe that women are any less dangerous. Women just seem to not follow the same pattern that the men do. That's very interesting to me.
