Not only men, male versus female serial killers, but male serial killers versus men in general and female serial killers versus females in general. So I don't, I don't know that I have seen because I've studied some people in depth, like, Oh yeah, she did that. Or yeah, he did that. But I don't know the data overall.

It seems to me though, that would be not a cause for, But one of the effects of whatever went wrong initially, pathologically, trying to numb myself and then committing those crimes as well. But I don't really see the drugs and alcohol as fueling the crime.

Okay, so most commonly, a female serial killer will have both male and female victims. Most commonly, a male serial killer will have female victims. But like we said before, women tend to kill elderly people, people of age, infants, or people with some kind of disability or illness that all of these people can't fight back. That's the common denominator.

Wouldn't one be less likely to be caught if somebody who was in the hospital for an illness dies, right? Couldn't it be attributed or explained away as a product of their illness or injury or a baby who dies? I mean, again, I studied some female serial killer cases from back in the day. It wasn't unusual for infants to die back then, right? There was a higher infant mortality rate.

So I would think that the victims could be explained away. Also, for women who killed their husbands back in the day, it wasn't unusual for somebody to die of stomach disease or whatnot. So these women tended to use arsenic and other poisons that would mimic stomach disease, heart attack, etc. So I think it's the victims that people might not suspect.

That's a very good question. I have not really seen that frequently. I've heard anecdotally that maybe one or two might have had some sexuality going on there.
