The victim, dubbed “The Lady of the Lake,” was only the first of a butcher’s dozen. Over the next four years, twelve more bodies would be scattered across the city. The bodies were dismembered with surgical precision and drained of blood. Some were beheaded while still alive.

Er is een groot verschil tussen moordenaars die één moord plegen, massamoordenaars die veel mensen tegelijk ombrengen en seriemoordenaars die zorgvuldig gekozen slachtoffers volgens een ritueel vermoorden. Een seriemoordenaar is een kille jager die geniet van de jacht, wordt gedreven door een ritueel of een bepaalde fixatie en steeds afhankelijker wordt van de kick die het moorden hem geeft.

In Unsolved Serial Killers, Volumes 1 and 2, here is just a fraction of what you will discover explorations of the cities and historical contexts of the killings, so you understand the atmosphere when they were taking place, in-depth profiles of the victims of each killer and what happened to them, and much more. If you're a true crime junkie, you may think you know the world of serial killers inside and out, but prepare to be surprised by what you find within these lines.

From singling out victims at bus stops, targeting women with long, blonde hair, saving trophies, or dismembering and even eating their victims, each serial killer set a unique ritual for their murder, and these rituals are what betrays them in the end.

What makes a serial killer? There is a huge difference between killers who kill once in the heat of the moment, mass murderers who slaughter many people at once, and serial killers who follow a specific pattern to kill carefully selected victims.

Seriemoordenaars beginnen vaak met een paar vrij willekeurige moorden. Gaandeweg zoeken ze uit aan welke rituelen ze het meeste plezier beleven. Daarna stalken ze hun zorgvuldig uitgekozen slachtoffers of gaan ze ernaar op zoek speciale plekken, waar bijvoorbeeld prostituees of kinderen komen. Elke seriemoordenaar heeft zijn eigen unieke methoden en routines: hij pikt zijn slachtoffers bijvoorbeeld op bij bushaltes, kiest voor vrouwen met lang blond haar, bewaart trofeeën of snijdt zijn slachtoffers in stukken en eet ze op. Die signatuur kan leiden tot een aanhouding.

A Correggio, fra il 1939 e il 1940, Leonarda Cianciulli uccise tre donne, impadronendosi dei loro beni e distruggendone i corpi. Nel 1946 il processo alla "saponificatrice" ebbe una risonanza enorme in un'Italia che, ormai uscita dal fascismo, riscopriva il fascino un po' morboso dei grandi fattacci di nera. A fare di quest'assassina seriale un archetipo della criminalità femminile non è solo la particolare efferatezza dei tre delitti, ma l'immagine complessiva che la giustizia, la psichiatria, i giornali e l'opinione pubblica restituirono della vicenda.
