Always remember that it's a graduated crime. For those unfamiliar with that, it means serial killers "work their way up" to people, and it's one of the reasons why if you hear a case of animal abuse police are all over it.

Another one most people never never heard is that rape is a graduated crime as well. The circumstances are similar, in both cases the person 'chases a thrill' for fulfillment. A person doesn't start out there, they start out with innocuous things like clothing theft, peeping, B&E targeting particular types of people.

That sounds like a blast. The stuff I learned on it was via a criminal law professor who was a retired police inspector and also taught at the Ontario Police College(OPC). He was directly involved in the Paul Bernardo/Karla Hamolka rape-murder-serial killings here in Canada. Some of the shit in that case that wasn't reported on by the media was chilling. Hamolka was the ring leader between the two, and the one directing the actions.

Couple of examples, Hamolka drugged her own sister to let Bernardo rape her. Hamolka then started hunting out girls for Bernardo to kidnap, rape and kill. She was also the one who told Bernardo to douse one of the girls in gasoline while still alive to kill her.

What burns my ass over that entire thing was the crown cutting a deal with her to reduce the jail time - while using that to make sure he stayed locked up forever. She was the real psychopath in the case. In a fun note, when my sister was in training to be a federal prison guard one of her training assignments was at Kingston Penitentiary. He was in 23.5hrs/day solitary and given 30 minutes in a 9'x9' cage.

So she got a chance to see that piece of work first hand, and here's the really fucked up part. He was allowed to have visitors including his mother, but as standard procedure the cell has to be searched before and after a visitor. So just think on this...why were there used condoms in his cell after his mother visited...

Yep, you got that right. The not reporting on correctly is true, there's been a few books by police who worked on the case if you're interested in reading them. "Deadly Innocence: The True Story of Paul Bernardo, Karla Homolka, and the Schoolgirl Murders" is pretty good.

The human mind being a scary thing is really spot on.
