Ted Bundy – Power control hedonistic lust killer. Here’s some of the most infamous serial killers ever, put into categories. Furthermore, they tend to taunt police, because it increases the thrill. Thrill killers kill because it gives them an adrenaline rush like skydiving. I would also put Berkowitz in this category. I would put Zodiac and the Axeman of New Orleans (both unsolved) as thrill killers. Thrill killers are harder to identify and possibly the hardest to catch. Their gain wasn’t financial, but it was a gain. People like Michael Swango and Gwendolyn Graham, both enjoyed killing people who annoyed them. However, angels of mercy might also fit into this, despite the deaths rarely providing them financial gain. They kill for their own personal gain, usually financial gain. Black widows and family annihilators are both hedonistic comfort killers. If I mention someone is a hedonistic serial killer, rest assured that I mean either a thrill killer or a comfort killer. For this reason, I’ve included it here, because it’s FBI approved, but will mostly ignore it for the rest of my posts involving serial killers. Which is exactly what happens when a power control killer kills. Hedonistic lust killers get sexual gratification by controlling their victim and even if they do not rape their victims, they often orgasm. For starters, the definition for a lust killer is pretty much word for word the same definition as a power control killer. I have issues with putting lust killers in this category. Lust killers, thrill killers, and comfort killers. Hedonistic: This is the only type broken into smaller groups. Rose West, Myra Hindley, and Cynthia Coffman. Female power control serial killers are in fact incredibly rare. Female serial killer Aileen Wuornos is one of the few female power control and hedonistic on my list of known serial killer types. And the majority of male serial killers exhibit these traits. Dennis Rader aka BTK is a power control serial killer. This type is the most likely to rape their victims while killing them, as well as the most likely to come back and have sex with their corpses, because the act of rape, even after the victim is dead, proves they have absolute control and domination of their victims. They derive sexual pleasure from the control they exert over their victims. Power Control: Power control serial killers are what would have been called lust killers in earlier years. However, if we were going to give him a secondary category, like we will most of those on this list, it would be Hedonistic -> Thrill Killer. Berkowitz, might be unique, in that, he did not display signs that he was also a power control serial killer or really any other type of serial killer. Furthermore, he claimed that his neighbor’s dog was a hell hound who delivered the messages to him. 44 Caliber Killer, proclaimed to hear demonic voices that told him to kill. David Berkowitz aka The Son of Sam aka the. Visionary: Visionary serial killers often report hearing voices that tell them to kill, but don’t seem to have a mental illness that would be associated with hearing voices. He wasn’t sexually aroused by the prostitutes themselves, he was aroused by the power he wielded over them as he killed them. But Ridgway was a mission oriented power control serial killer. He raped the prostitutes before killing them, which isn’t uncommon with mission oriented serial killers. He killed prostitutes because they were “unclean.” However, like most serial killers, he wasn’t entirely mission oriented. Gary Ridgway aka the Green River Killer was a Mission Oriented serial killer. A mission oriented killer may kill gay men, because gay men are an abomination before god and are destroying the “family values” of a society. Mission Oriented: Mission oriented serial killers feel they are doing their “duty” by purging some group of people they don’t think should be allowed to live. In this post, I’ll explain the types and give some examples. However, the majority of serial killers actually have features more than one. Hedonistic also gets broken down into four subtypes. Serial killers can be put into four main types mission oriented, visionary, hedonistic, and power control.
