Then again, I'm researching and I'm selling a book that describes it, but I really truly hope I've put forth that message. I'm trying to give out data out there so that we can respond to or better yet, prevent these kinds of things from happening.
So no one really knows, but the estimate is one out of six. At least in the United States, that's what I know about.

That's a really good point. The truth is I don't know, but I can tell you female serial murder is very rare. So since I've been studying this, which is probably 2014, so probably the past 10 years, the cases I've been asked to look at, maybe three or four.

So in the last decade, you've found around about... One was ongoing. Right. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off, Chris. Not at all. So you had asked ongoing. So since my research trajectory emerged, there were about four cases that I became aware of. For example, Retta Mays in the United States, Lucy Letby in the United Kingdom, and... And there are, I believe, two more.

There was one case that I actually consulted on that I probably can't talk about. They got her. They knew it was she. They got her. The true bill ran jury indictment came out. She knew this and she died by suicide before they could arrest her.

It's true. And I'm good friends with the lead detective on that. I said, how do you feel?

So is it okay if I refer to my paper here? Oh, absolutely. So we published a paper in 2015 where we took the data that we had. The sample size we had was 64 female serial killers who committed their crimes in the United States really since there's been a United States. So- 200 and something years. Please don't make me do the math on that. And here's what we came up with. She's likely white.
