Investigating Serial Murder
Serial killers, those who kill more than once, pose a special problem for crime investigators because their motives are often far less obvious than those of the person who commits a single homicide.
The serial killer tends to prey upon people at random. Usually, the attacker does not know the victims personally. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Behavioral Science Unit developed the concept of psychological profiling in the 1960s to aid in the pursuit of serial killers and to let police know what kind of offender is instigating the crimes.
Despite attempts by authorities to profile and find serial killers, some killers can continue killing and elude authorities for years. The so-called Green River Killer murdered at least 48 victims over a span of 16 years, from 1982 to 1998. The confessed murderer, Gary Leon Ridgway (now serving a life sentence), claimed that strangling young women was his “career.”
Despite all the work that has been done on the psychology of the serial killer, forensic psychologists and psychiatrists are still far from understanding such people. Although it may be easier to comprehend someone who kills out of greed or revenge, the work of a serial killer is so far removed from normal behavior that most people have little understanding of his motives.
As the homicides mount, it becomes increasingly urgent for police to track down the killer. Also, as the killings mount, so too does the evidence, no matter how clever the killer may consider himself to be. As he continues, he may become careless or complacent, and the chances of his capture increase.
The profiler or forensic psychiatrist uses evidence from the crime scene to build a psychological profile (also called a criminal profile) of the serial killer.

I don’t wanna die, I’m not gonna lie to you. I admit that. And I’m not asking for clemency, I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m not asking for sympathy. I know they’re gonna kill me sooner or later… you don’t need to worry about that, but… there’s a lot of crimes I can solve, if the state can just see fit to let me live for two or three years longer, I mean… Look, I know I’m not like other people, I know I can’t… feel sympathy for other people. But I’m still human. - Ted Bundy

Body Bakery: Bread imitating Gore by Kittiwat Unarrom
This brings weird to a whole new level. Thai Fine Art student and artist Kittiwat Unarrom is the son of a baker. All that baking exposure growing up has been a clear influence, but his artistic need to see things a little differently definitely flared up as he created the tacitly named “Body Bakery” – brutally, gruesomely, almost unbelievably realistic looking sculptures of dismembered human body parts sculpted entirely from bread.
With a master in Fine Arts Kittiwat Unarrom creates sculpture in bread. Not just normal sculpture but horror, dark art, gore. Kittiwat creates feet, hands, heads, and internal organs among other body parts all entirely edible and for sale at his family’s bakery. He skillfully paints each piece to look terrifying to the observer/customer.
