People built me into something. I became a monument. It won an academy award for best picture, and it was entertaining. But the real life serial killer is anything but entertaining for his real life victims and their families.
Serial killers represent a unknown fear and fascination in society.
They are the embodiment of evil, yet it seems that we cannot get enough of them. There are few news items that generate the hype and hysteria that the serial killer does. The obsession that the public has with serial killers in itself is terrifying. Serial killers do not have obvious motives for their crimes, nor is there any pattern to who their next victim will be. It may be the woman who has the misfortune to walk past them on the street, or the boy riding his bike down the wrong road.
