Spree/mass shootings seem to have taken their place
More sophisticated forensics catching killers before they get the chance to become serial killers?
Killers picking victims cops don’t care about - they don’t get reported - no serial killer
There’s been more than one cop/ex cop serial killer with inside knowledge of police tactics to evade getting caught at the scene even when there is an immediate police response
Iirc this was a big reason Bruce McArthur took so long to get caught, he targeted people from Toronto's gay village. People from the area knew there was a serial killer targeting them, but the police actively denied that there was any reason to believe that until they caught him. They had questioned him 5 years prior in connection to one of his victims after he made a post online saying he had
killed and eaten a man from Toronto's gay village around the same time a man from Toronto's gay village went missing, but was let go, and another of his victims was a homeless man who was never reported missing in the first place.
Green river killer did this too, almost all his victims were sex workers and teenage runaways
And Jeffrey Dahmer.
