What if there is no pattern !!!

04Aug08

Just the other day I was having this discussion with Ludwig about serial killers. The reason why most serial killers are caught (mostly in literature and movies) is because they follow some ridiculous pattern (days / numbers /names / alphabets / Zodiac signs and so on…). What if a serial killers doesn’t follow any pattern [...]
