3. The motivations tend to be different right?

Revenge, profit, 'mercy killing nurses' and not so many psycho-sexual peversion murders? I know there are some, especially when the it's a couple killer.

I've been fascinated by serial killers for years, but not so much the last few years. Makes me wonder how many women killers went under the radar, because you know we don't do that kind of thing.

A friend of mine was killed by one, he was that guy in Alaska who hunted women like animals. The movie 'Naked Fear'-- which I haven't bothered to watch--is loosely based on his murders. She was a sex worker trying to get away from an abusive husband. Thirty years ago now. You never forget though.
