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 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.
