What Makes Serial Killers Tick?
\"It was an urge. ... A strong urge, and the longer I let it go the stronger it got, to where I was taking risks to go out and kill people risks that normally, according to my little rules of operation, I wouldn\'t take because they could lead to arrest.\" —Edmund Kemper.

Where does this urge come from, and why is so powerful? If we all experienced this urge, would we be able to resist? Is it genetic, hormonal, biological, or cultural conditioning? Do serial killers have any control over their desires?

We all experience rage and inappropriate sexual instincts, yet we have some sort of internal cage that keeps our inner monsters locked up. Call it morality or social programming, these internal blockades have long since been trampled down in the psychopathic killer. Not only have they let loose the monster within, they are virtual slaves to its beastly appetites. What sets them apart? Robert Ackermann
Once a seemingly normal boy, he was overcome by a morbid curiosity, and is now known as the Cannibal of Vienna. Adelaide
Laid-back Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is rich in culture and beauty, Adelaide and its surrounding districts are responsible for some of the finest wines in Australia. Seemingly on every corner are houses of worship of all denominations. For this reason Adelaide is referred to as the City of Churches.

But there is an inexplicable dark side to Adelaide. Some are now choosing to call it the \"City of Corpses.\" And it is not hard to understand why. Per capita Adelaide and environs has recorded more of Australia\'s most notorious crimes than any other Australian capital city. In the annals of Australia\'s most horrific crimes, laid-back Adelaide\'s sinister past (and present) makes other cities look like Camelot. Beverley Allitt

Did this legendary serial killer, the inspiration for the cult thriller Eaten Alive, really feed his girlfriends to his pet alligators? Berrima Axe Murderer
Irish convict shipped to Australia went around the countryside murdering people with an axe, sometimes just for amusement, sometimes because they stood in the way of his criminal enterprises. What makes him unusual is that he believed that God was protecting him while he robbed, raped and murdered. He figured that since he had killed at least eight people and had not been caught, he had somehow earned divine favor. BTK -- Dennis Rader
For three decades, the terrifying serial killer who called himself BTK (\"Bind, Torture, Kill\") was uncaught. First he would cut the phone lines, and then he would get into the house somehow, waiting for his victim to come home. The killings drove Wichita\'s women into a frenzy, but then the murders unexplicably stopped. Police theorized that BTK could have died or have been incarcerated for some other crime or mental disease, or maybe even moved away.

Then in March, 2004, BTK sent a very convincing letter to the local newspaper, taking responsibility for the September, 1986, unsolved death of Vicki Wegerle. Included with the letter were a photocopy of Wegerle\'s driver\'s license and three photos of her body that BTK took after he killed her.

In May, BTK sent a copy of the chapter titles of David Lohr\'s Crime Library story on the case to a local TV station. Lohr\'s feature story was the only BTK case history on the Net at that time. However, BTK had changed several of the chapter titles, including one that he changed to \"Will There Be More?\"

And so, it began again, with BTK impatiently pointing out to police the murders of his that they missed. Finally, BTK made the mistake that culminated in his capture.

Here is the most detailed story of this case as it unfolded in 1974 and then again in 2004. William Burke & William Hare
