She's probably been married at least once, but perhaps several times, probably in her 20s and 30s, probably Christian, probably middle class, probably has committed her crimes in the suburbs.

Female serial killers are nurses or nurses assistants. We know that she's very likely in charge of taking care of helpless others. So whether that's a mother or a nurse or a nurse's aide, so somebody who's vulnerable and can't fight back, a child, an elderly person, a disabled veteran, etc.,

Um, she's probably at the very least of average attractiveness, attractiveness, or maybe even good looking, um, probably had some childhood problems herself with abusive parents, maybe some sexual assault, CSA childhood sexual abuse she experienced when she was younger, um, et cetera. Um, and the The motives that we found, money was the number one motive.

So money, resources, but very close second to that was power. And so let me just say this. If I could do this paper again, if I could do this entire project again, which took a long time to do, I focused on primary motive.

And if I could go back and reinvent this, I probably would have looked at multiple motives because I don't, after all this knowledge gained over the years, I don't think you can really split it out. I don't know if money and power might go hand in hand. I could just say numerically money was the number one motive and power was the number two motive when we looked at this person's primary motives.

Oh, sure. I think everything you just said could come into play. Again, I'm an evolutionary psychologist, so I do look at sex differences. And we do see profound differences Male, female serial killer sex differences. We wrote a paper on that.

Um, we published it in evolutionary behavioral sciences and we looked at stuff like, for example, men are far more likely than women serial killers, of course, to target a stranger. Um, Women are far more likely than a male to target somebody familiar to them. Again, primary motive for men was sex. Primary motive for women was money. Men tend to be undereducated.
