Rebecca Taylor LaBrode discusses in her article, “Etiology of the Psychopathic Serial Killer: An Analysis of Antisocial Personality Disorder, Psychopathy, and Serial Killer Personality and Crime Scene Characteristic," LaBrode discusses the treatment available to individuals with psychological disorders, and she connects personality disorders that come from children with past traumatic events, but she also states that the disorder can be treated from an early stage in life. Labrode specifically says,…
Another article I would like to discuss is from People magazine written by Jeff Truesdell, Neighbors of Making a Murderer's Steven Avery Speak Out About His Guilt or Innocence: 'Those of Us Who Live Here Know He's Guilty.’ In this article, Jeff Truesdell interviewed locals of Manitowoc County; Steven Avery’s neighbors. The neighbors paint an incredibly different picture than what is provided in Making a Murderer. The neighbors discuss how much safer they felt now that Steven Avery was back in jail, and how when he was released the first time they believed something strange happened. The general consensus of his neighbors was that he was guilty for the assault he was in jail for originally, and for the crimes he is in jail for now. One neighbor…

In the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework 3rd edition, a client factors are specific capacities, characteristics, or beliefs that reside within the person that influence performance in occupations. That further can be broken down into 5 different characteristics which make up client factors. The first is values; which are principles, standards and qualities that are considered worthwhile to each patient. Second is beliefs; which are cognitive contents held as true. Third is spirituality, which is being spiritual. Lastly, is body structure and functions which can be merged together to be clearly defined as “physiological function of body systems and anatomical parts of the body such as organs, limbs, and their components.” (W.H.O., 2001)…
A search of Derrick Robinson’s cell phone was done and at 4:46 a.m. an incoming call was received from (910) 644-7834. The phone number was checked through several Police data bases with negative results. I then searched the phone number through Facebook and learned it was assigned to a J-Rock Ru. I then attempted to see if this was the same J-Rock that went to Emily Hamlin residence on the night of the Homicide.…

Serial killers often mutilate their victims and abscond with trophies - usually, body parts. They treat their prey as a disturbed child would treat her rag dolls. Some of them have been known to eat the organs they have ripped - an act of merging with the dead and assimilating them through digestion.…
It had been about a month and a half since I had moved in with my boyfriend (at the time) Josh and his mother, Dawn. I moved in just a few days shy of my 18th birthday because I was now an adult and since I was adult I knew everything. God, didn’t even know how to do laundry……
Victor Hugo wisely said “Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.” (BrainyQuote). I believe there is no better quote to match the meaning of this story. After reading this story, I could not believe how much I related to this in my personal life. A Brothers Murder talks about waking up to a phone call, and finding out your brother has been killed. It takes you back through the memory of how it came about. This really hit home for me and sparked the memory of the night I experienced the same thing (talk about your story about your brother). It is crazy to think that by reading one short story, you could be reading about your own experience. The relation to the story and I is unbelievable.…
Tom had been on the go since six O'clock that morning, had confirmed that a brutal rape and murder of a woman was the work of a serial-killer, had interview the victims friends and acquaintances, and spent hours going over phone and computer records, without coming up with one damn piece of evidence, or anything he believed had led him closer to finding a direction in which to turn. The only break, and the only food, he'd gotten all day was the quick lunch with Lila, that had been mostly business, and the Detective was tired, frustrated, and impatient.…
Research has revealed various behaviors shared amongst serial killers throughout their childhood and adults lives. More specifically, the psychopathological triad explains a combination of three childhood characteristics of many serial killers (Chalmers, 2009). These characteristics include enuresis, pyromania, and animal torture. Although these characteristics may exist throughout one’s childhood, they are simply red flags and do not necessarily mean an individual will, in fact, become a serial killer.…
It is 11 o’clock at night, on the 30th of July 2005. A man is in his home with all his doors locked, a precaution taken against a serial killer in the area. Suddenly, he hears an unexpected noise that sounds like a car in his driveway. He stands up and goes to explore what the sound could be. He walks down the hallway and enters his living room. Darkness engulfs him as all of the lights suddenly go out. Standing very still, he hears noises coming from another part of his house, and then footsteps and a strange, maniacal sort of laughter coming closer and closer. He turns himself around desperately, but he can't seem to place exactly where the sound is coming from. Then it’s too late. A phone flashes in front of his face, and he feels the cold…

I awaken in the middle of the night, and the significance of my actions just hours before hit me full force, though it feels like a lifetime ago that it happened. My first murder, the very thing that had so repulsed me upon my meeting with Zaroff just four days prior. The man was a psychopathic and homicidal bedlamite. He was the predator, and I, his quarry. His game of hunting men was considered only sport to him, whilst I held the belief that this manslaughter was senseless. Now, here I lay, with his blood-soaked, decomposing cadaver at the foot of his (now my own) feather bed. Why is this so hard for me to comprehend? I have seen the atrocities of war, with fighting in the French ditches and even the front line of battle and have seen the prospects of nearly inevitable death while hunting monstrous beasts in exotic locales. Murder is no mystery to a man like myself, for I have seen it myself so many times. This man was one who hunted perceived troglodytes and “scum of the earth,” when in actuality they were as human as I. I did the world a favor by ridding it of this barbarous and callous perpetrator. But then again, perhaps this act of merciless killing…
