Compulsion to Kill: A History of Serial Murder
Organized vs. Disorganized
For the purpose of behavioral analysis, there are two distinct types of crime scenes:
organized and disorganized. Each one presents unique insights into the psychology of
the Unsub. Occasionally, a crime scene will present elements of both. As with any
typing system, not 100% of ofenders will fit 100% of the characteristics of the class
they fall into. These categorizations are based on characteristics that present
themselves in more than 3/4 of the criminals of each ofender type. So…without
further ado…
Organized Homicide
Organized ofenders are psychopathic and antisocial,
irrational but sane. They are indiferent to fellow humans,
irresponsible, and self-centered. They are manipulative,
deliberative, and full of guile but outwardly amiable as
long as it suits his objective. In other words, this type of
ofender could truly be a pillar of the community, the
patron saint of child or spousal abuse prevention, and the
neighborhood’s most willing handyman. All the while, he is
also the bogeyman who stalks his community’s women,
tortures them, and snufs out their last breath. He is
equally convincing in both roles and this is why the news
reports always show the community astonishment in phrases like, “He was always such
a nice guy.”
They are cunning and emotionless, which is how they can play both sides of the coin.
When you have nothing emotional to invest in anyone, giving everyone exactly what
they want takes nothing from you, but it can give you an advantage when you are
trying to keep people from suspecting you are a compulsive murderer. This ofender is
extroverted, articulate, and highly narcissistic. He takes great care with his physical
health and appearance. He will dress himself neatly whether in business or casual
attire.
There will always be a specific stressor in the ofender’s life that precipitates the
beginning of his murderous career. These can be related to finances, employment, a
marriage, or any close relationship. While there are events that will trigger the leap to
murder, the fantasy is what fuels and builds up the desire to commit the crime.
Ofenders of this type will spend years, a decade or more, constructing their fantasy
world. They use their crimes to hone these fantasies and improve upon them in order
to heighten their level of self-gratification.
This ofender will perpetrate very deliberative crimes, thoroughly calculated and
planned. Premeditation of these crimes will also typically include extensive stalking.
He preys mostly on strangers so that he cannot be linked to their victims in any way.
He will hunt far from work or home, but in an area he has surveilled and become
intimately familiar with. The abduction and abuse of the victim will be perpetrated
with as much precision and calculation as the predator has put into planning his clear
escape. An organized sexual homicide will have multiple scenes: the location of initial
contact or assault, the scene of death, and the body disposal site. This ofender is
socially adept and may con or persuade his victims into going with him willingly. He
may pose as an authority figure, using a uniform that will disarm his victims such as
that of a police ofcer.
Victimology for an organized sexual homicide suggests a female or adolescent male.
The victim will be single, employed, and live alone. The ofender’s risk for this type of
crime is higher if committed outdoors or during the day. The victim of this crime is
not known to the ofender, but is chosen because she meets criteria specific to the
killer’s psychological construct. In multiple, linked homicides, the similarities in
appearance of the victims will be obvious. For example, all of Ted Bundy’s victims
(except the last one) looked just like his ex-fiancee.
This ofender plans his murders, spends time targeting his victims, and displays
control over the scene. He is methodical and orderly throughout all phases of the
crime. The murders themselves are slow and sadistic for an experienced killer who is
comfortable with his level of control over all factors. This type of ofender is so in
control of his surroundings that he can adapt to obstacles that occur during the
commission of the crime in an outwardly calm manner. For example, the Zodiac killer
was able to provide a dummy description of a dummy suspect when he came face to
face with the police who were looking for him minutes after he’d shot a cab driver. Ed
Kemper drove through a security gate at a college campus with two dying women in
the car without raising any suspicion from the guards. These predators engage in
staging to aid them in evading detection. The scene may be altered to appear careless
or disorganized on purpose as a way to throw of the investigation. Secondary criminal
activity may be staged to disguise the sexual homicide as some other type of murder.
He takes care not to leave fingerprints, semen, or spent cartridges and shells. They
make an efort to erase all prints and other potential evidence. Sometimes these
perpetrators will scrub the victim down with bleach, along with the bathroom and
kitchen, to destroy any trace he may have left. Some have been known to go to the
extreme of removing all of their body hair and mutilating the tips of their fingers to
avoid mishaps or carelessness at the scene. Weapons are brought to the scene by the
perpetrator and leave the scene with him. He will have a “kit” consisting of various
items like tape, chains, ropes, or chemicals. Restraints reflect a methodical approach,
providing order for the perpetrator prior to, during, and after the crime. The scene will
appear controlled and planned out. All finger- and footprints will be removed.
Regardless of the ridiculous notions spouted of on television or in movies, these
predators DO NOT want to be caught. EVER. They put so much efort into assuring
they will outsmart the police because they all want to follow in the footsteps of Zodiac
and Saucy Jack.
This ofender takes trophies to commemorate the success of his endeavor. They also
serve as proof of his skill and control. These items will be used to help the perpetrator
relive the fantasy he has acted out. He will conceal or dispose of the body in a location
that is familiar to him, but not connected to the area where he lives or works. He will
return to surveill the scenes and may inject himself into the investigation by being
overly cooperative with law enforcement. Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer,
returned to the dump sites to have sex with the bodies of his victims over and over,
until maggots invaded the body. This behavior serves a dual purpose: it keeps him
apprised of the progress of the investigation while afording him the opportunity to
relive the crime where it happened.

Disorganized Homicide
Disorganized ofender is psychotic with non-existent social skills. He is a loner and it
is obvious to everyone that he makes no attempt to fit in or acquire friends. May not
shave, change his clothing, or comb his hair for days. He works from a spontaneous
fury sparked by either anger or passion, drugs or alcohol. He may kill acquaintances,
family, or neighbors without thought to the risk of
capture. He will initially commit his crimes within
walking distance of home or work. If he remains
uncaught, he may evolve into an organized ofender
through experience.
The crimes of this ofender will appear to be
spontaneous, sudden, and the scene will be left in
disarray. Most of the time the disorganized ofender will
use a weapon of convenience and make no efort to conceal the body. These men will
always leave some sort of evidence behind at the scene or with the body. The
disorganized ofender is prone to instantaneous overwhelming impulses. His victims
will be chosen by spontaneous aggression, not careful planning. His kills are a quick
overpowering of the victim and a frenzied execution with whatever is handy or
available.
Disorganization may arise from the youth of the ofender, his lack of criminal
sophistication, drug or alcohol abuse, or mental deficiency. Victims may be known to
the ofender as he takes his opportunities close to his residence or place of
employment. The victim is often from the perpetrator’s geographic area because this
ofender gains confidence from familiar surroundings. He acts out impulsively under
stress, so if there are multiple homicides they will present themselves as completely
random. The victim only becomes such by being in the wrong place at the wrong time
with this type of homicide.
The scenes will be random and sloppy. Either the location or the victim will be known
to him and either or both are part of his normal routine. His attacks are perpetrated
blitz-style. They are sudden and wildly violent. This scene will also exhibit signs of
depersonalization such as the victim’s face being covered with a pillow or clothing. He
uses weapons of opportunity and makes no efort to conceal the body or the victim’s
identity.
The staging in a disorganized sexual homicide will include positioning the body to suit
the perpetrator’s personal fantasy and is not an attempt to confuse law enforcement
deliberately. This ofender may position the body to “hide” acts of the crime. For
example, to disguise postmortem mutilation that he is uncomfortable with. Overkill is
frequently present in this type of sexual homicide with particular attention payed to
mutilating areas of the victim’s body that hold a sexual association.
This ofender is socially inept and feels inadequate. When he perpetrates the sexual
assault, the victim will be dying or dead already. This ofender engages in
depersonalization and may take body parts as trophies. He establishes control through
incapacitation, so he will attack from behind, causing blunt force trauma to the head
or face of the victim. He will engage in necrophilia and stabbing or biting types of
mutilation. Then he will ejaculate on the victim’s clothing or in her wounds. These
ofenders typically murder their victims by asphyxiation, strangulation, blunt force, or
the use of a pointed or sharp instrument.
This UnSub will live alone or with a parental-type figure. His home or place of
employment will be near the scene. He will have inconsistent work performance and
lacks interpersonal skills. He is nocturnal in habit and will seem odd to those who
know him. His relationship partners will be much younger or much older than the
ofender. Both of these age groups would be perceived by him as non-threatening.
Following his crime, the disorganized sexual killer will change his eating habits,
increase drinking or drug abuse, and become excessively nervous. He will show an
inappropriate interest in the crimes and will introduce them into the topic of
conversation frequently.

Mixed Homicide
This type of murder may occur when there are multiple
ofenders involved. The attack may begin as an orderly
operation and then unforeseen factors cause the situation to
deteriorate. This may also be a crime that begins as rape,
but resistance by the victim or the perpetrator’s emotional
state may provoke escalation to murder. The youth or
inebriation of the ofender may contribute to a presentation
of mixed indicators. External stressors can also cause
deterioration from an organized pattern to a disorganized
one. This is what happened with Ted Bundy in Florida.
