I could swear I heard that they were starting to find corroborating evidence on this, but it was a while back.

TBF, there's an estimated 1000+ serial killers at large at any time. It's not impossible.

Do you mean worldwide or just in the US? Because I know in the US the (estimated) number is way lower than that.

Worldwide. I was too lazy to google US numbers specifically, but off hand I think it's around 200? Which is about 200 too many.

IIRC it was around 200 active in the 80s and is significantly lower now

The "story" is set in the... 70s or 80s? It makes me think of Robert Pickton in particular, and he was at least active killing people who "wouldn't be missed" from the mid 70s until when he was caught.

I'm pretty sure that estimate is way too high.

If there's 30 active serial killers in the US, that would equate to about 600 active serial killers worldwide, and it's not unreasonable to think that some countries might have a higher rate than the US (for law-enforcement reasons possibly). It's not totally crazy.

(Anonymous) 2019-02-02 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but to me there's quite a big margin between 600 and 1000+. I'm not saying it's impossible, just highly improbable. I'm not even sure that numbers of serial killers worldwide is very relevant when we're discussing the likelihood of ONE guy murdering hundreds of people and burying them on the property over the years and yet there's no evidence for it such as bodies.

Right order of magnitude, at least

There's a scientist who thinks it's 2000 in the US alone. https://www.newsweek.com/serial-killers-united-states-how-many-718232

Serial murder, according to the FBI's official definition, is the "unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events.

In that case, I can see it. That would include anything related to organized crime, too, not just the John Wayne Gacys of the world.

NAYRT but yeah, 2+ is a low threshold. I honestly assumed serial would be higher than that.
