Organised serial killers have a tendency to:

  • Plan their crime carefully, giving thought to escape routes and body disposal
  • Carefully select and stalk their victims
  • Prefer strangers as victims
  • Engage in controlled conversation with the victim
  • Capture their victims, kill them, and dispose of their bodies at separate locations
  • Use restraints, often bringing them to the crime scene
  • Come prepared with weapons
  • Commit sexual offences with a living victim
  • Attempt to extensively control the victim through manipulation or threats, and desire a show of fear from their victim
  • Use a vehicle
  • Commit their crimes far away from their residence
  • Study police investigation techniques
  • Become more proficient in the commission of their crime with time

Disorganized Serial Killers

Disorganized serial killers are unpredictable and act without a strict plan, which can make them just as difficult to catch as organized killers. These killers attack based on opportunity, usually close to where they live (usually have no vehicle). They too have murderous fantasies, but their fantasies are very vague and incomplete compared to those of an organized killer. Disorganized killers are often socially inept and are either unemployed or have a low skilled job. They make no effort to hide what they have do not attempt to to clean up the crime scene. They use weapons found at the scene and often ‘overkill’, leaving the bodies of their victims mutilated. If a disorganized killer takes a souvenir, it is most likely a body part.

(CBS/AP) MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. - An unfriendly Facebook relationship turned downright deadly in northeast Tennessee, authorities say.

Marvin Potter is accused in the shooting deaths of a couple who removed his adult daughter as a friend on the social network.

The victims had complained to police that Potter’s daughter was harassing them after they deleted her from their Facebook friends list,  Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece said Wednesday.

The 60-year-old father is charged with two counts of first-degree murder for killing Billy Payne Jr. and his girlfriend, Billie Jean Hayworth. The two were shot to death in their Mountain City home. They have an 8-month-old baby, who was found unharmed in Hayworth’s arms.

Law enforcement officials have been involved in other incidents where Potter’s daughter, Jenelle Potter, thought she had been slighted by someone.

Jamie Curd, Marvin Potter’s friend, has also been charged in the murders. The 38-year-old Curd reportedly had a romantic interest in Janelle Potter.

Potter and Curd were arraigned Wednesday. Curd’s initial bond was raised to $1.5 million while Potter remains jailed on his initial $200,000 bond.
