How to Recognize and Survive the Approach of a Serial Killer
The expression,”serial killer”, denotes the word, ‘serial’, which means, successful killer .
Ted Bundy said that he often wore his arm in a sling to perfectly trap random
compassionate women, who traveled to his car door to assist him with his theatrical
‘struggle’ with packages.
These outgoing, caring women were brutally clubbed into his trunk for later torture.
Serial murderers who instead of passion, kill in ‘cold blood’, and do not know their
victims, beforehand, for they kill randomly, purposefully moving from town to town, city
to city, without any remote tinge of latent regret or accumulative feelings of guilt.
Unlike a murder of marital or organized crime Mafia passion, there is no plan for a pre-
dug grave or a methodical bother to dismember the corpse.
They make no attempt to hide the bodies of their victims.
They stop on a deserted road and open the hood of their car to flag down a helpful
motorist to kill them with a gun.
Back into the victim’s stolen car, in the next town,
they lure a child into a car by asking them to help find a lost puppy or by offering them a
kitten from a box of kittens, which disarms any child, and then stab the child to death.
Later that night, they stop at a truck stop to pick up a prostitute to then strangle her
afterwards leaving her body on the side of the road.
They remember to be most careful to use a different method of murder, each time to
confuse police efforts from various jurisdictions, from establishing an M. O. pattern
that links random killings into a single silhouette, the fingerprint of a singular serial murderer.
Interstate highways lend a unique anonymous isolation to the mentality that serial
killers love and use:
Truck-stops are high risk areas, as are truckers, themselves, and especially long off-
ramps are over represented with highway murder deaths, a study of murder statistics show.
A big, friendly, helpful smile, or a helpful assist from a total stranger, is the last thing one
will ever see and one will never see it coming, the guise of
serial killer psychopaths .
These serial killer psychopaths travel from state to state blithely killing random people,
leaving corpses on roadsides the way that we leave cigarette butts, without a single afterthought ,
psychopaths who from childhood, have had their consciences, all of their lives, sit in the
corner, like a well trained German Shepard .
Serial killers enter
back into this harsh world without a written ‘blueprint’, without spirit helpers and
without protecting angels and
do again return to become serial murderers, and
It is good advice that one should avoid them, sidestep them, and never attempt to tackle them head on.
But one CAN recognize and survive an encounter with such a serial killer predator, by
taking careful notes from serial murderers who have explained their ‘trade-craft’
” Trust your intuition:
Do not ignore your instincts or intuition.
You have likely recognized something indefinite that spells out danger, and your mind
has not caught up with your recognition – you do not yet perceive how to dissect it
logically.
This is intuition.
If something does not feel right, then it is not right.
Never ignore such inklings; do not be embarrassed to change your mind in front of a
stranger or have fear of being rude.
It’s better to be rude than dead.
Under no circumstances get into the Car:
Once victims get into the car, few return alive and are later found dead at a secondary
crime scene.
Whether you’re helping some stranger carry a package to the car, being offered a ride, or
having someone else near your car, they can all end with you being murdered.
The presence of a baby seat or children’s toys in the vehicle – or even children
themselves- are tools that a serial killer uses to mentally disarm victims.
The Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway, once returned to a body dump site to have sex
with the corpse of one of his victims while his son slept in the vehicle.
– Serial Killer Warning Signs of Entrapment-:
A Pretended injury/weakness:
The murderer makes a huge effort to let you know that he is physically weaker than you.
He may stumble and drop packages
“Please help me carry this to my car. Ever since my spine injury, I can hardly move.”
He may wear a cast or walk with a cane in the Ted Bundy method, to trap his victim.
Too much information:
The murderer will give you too much unnecessary, detailed information:
“My sister has a sweater just like that. She was living in California but she moved home
last year. Her boyfriend gave it to her for Christmas, but afterward they broke up …”
When such a serial murderer is telling a lie, though it sounds credible to you, he often
has little confidence in his talking-trap method and will tend to add too much detail,
more than necessary to support it.
This ruse of details makes a serial murderer seem less a stranger and appear more
familiar than he really is.
The un requested promise:
“Just one drink and then I will take you home, I swear!”, when you never asked him to
promise you anything.
Sudden unsolicited promises can be a sign of an underlying sinister agenda.
Friendly authority:
The stranger projects some kind of non threatening authority:
“I’m the security guard/ the park ranger/ a police officer.”
“You didn’t see the signs; this is closed. I’ll escort/drive you out of here.”
‘You shouldn’t be alone here; we are on the lookout for a serial killer in this
neighborhood. Get in and I’ll drive you out of here.”
No law enforcement official would tell you that there was a serial killer, for
they avoid giving outside knowledge TO ANYONE of an ongoing case for media
avoidance purposes.
Some serial killers come tricked out with police identification and police-like vehicles.
Insist that he call a uniformed backup if you did nothing wrong but are being “arrested.”
Challenging your personality:
The killer labels you, in a critical way, hoping that you will attempt to prove them wrong,
“You’re too weak to help me lift this box into the back of my van.”
“You’re not frightened of me, are you?”
Teaming:
Often a killer will manipulate you to “team up” with him.
You and he instantly become a “we” – “I hate drinking alone, I know a great place we can
go to up the road.”
“I’m going there too, we can get there in my car.”
This attempt to bond with you is a way to quickly establish a familiarity.
Imposed obligation:
A serial killer will impose his help on you, hoping that you will feel obligated to help him back.
“Let me help you carry that to your car” will lead to “Can you give me a lift to the corner?”
You leave your home to find your tire flat.
“Let me change that flat tire for you” will be followed by “May I come inside to wash my
hands?”
But he WAS the one who punctured the tire in the first place.
Having already accepted his help, he hopes that you feel bad enough to refuse a request like that.
Once inside, you’re a murder victim.
An appeal to a feeling of being vulnerable:
“Help me find my lost puppy before it gets away too far.”
“I need to drop off this medicine to an elderly person upstairs, but I can’t legally park
here; just come and sit in my car while I run in for five minutes?”
“My little girl is missing, will you help find her?”
– Not taking,” no”, for an answer-A classic murderer’s tool.
No matter how many times you say, “That’s okay, I don’t need your help,” the stranger insists on helping you.
If you give some weak excuse or sound unsure, he will persist.
Do not be afraid to be loudly blunt and rude: “I said, NO! Go away! I do not want your
help!.”
Many are loquacious and charming, but it’s only a ‘tool’ to conceal a demonic intent:
“I’m the most cold-blooded sonofabitch you’ll ever meet,” said Ted Bundy.
“I just liked to kill, I wanted to kill.”
The signature symptom of the psychopath is his inability to see others as worthy of
compassion.
Victims thus become dehumanized, “flattened into worthless objects in the murderer’s mind”.
John Gacy, who never showed an ounce of remorse, called his victims “worthless little
queers and punks,” while the “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe declared that he was
“cleaning up the streets” of ‘ human trash’
All of these killings were managed with an initial charming smile, a smile carefully
contrived, before a lethal knife or hammer fell.
Would YOU have easily fallen, do you suppose, for one of these “tricks of the trade”?
Would you have been naturally leery enough to survive such tactics or would you be
clearly very prone to an evil stranger’s charm and closeness, to become yet another murder victim?
And many rare victims who survived later said, “But, he was so sweet!”
Sweetness, is not the same as being sweet.
Sweetness can be used as a deadly manipulative tool.
A charming smile can mask the most evil intentions.
Once one is alerted to these uniform techniques employed by many
incarcerated successful, serial murderers, one can teach one’s spouse, one’s children,
one’s colleagues and one’s easily duped friends, to be much less trusting, to raise their
fence higher, around themselves, to prevent them from becoming the next victims of
a murderer.
One must teach one’s loved ones to be immediately suspect, of any close-hand
encounter with a stranger, who pretends a stance of authoritarianism, need, or one
warmly disarmingly charming, widely used tactics that serial killers rely on.
An approaching car, one that passes close by you, while you are out walking late, in an
abandoned hour, or in an empty place like a deserted parking lot, could easily spell such an unplanned
death.
One must be taught, instead, to be poised to bolt, to be alarmed by any car’s or person’s
close proximity to one, in a lonely place and moment, and to lose one’s sense of blind
trust, of one’s presumed safety with a total stranger.
The suspicious always appears “ordinary”, until suddenly, it isn’t.
Can anything be done to change and redeem such serial killers’ dark minds and souls?
Capital punishment for such murderers is spiritually counter-intuitive, because after
physical death, they linger on this plane and join together with dark others, to
accomplish yet more evil than they ever could have done, when they were alive.
Only God can and will “shift” them, in His own time,
but until such time,
don’t talk to strangers..
