<|assistant|>
Serial murderers use a variety of tools and tactics in order to avoid detection by police. They often use aliases, disposable cell phones, fake identities, and pretexts to create plausible alibis. They will often wear fake hairpieces, glasses, and/or fake disguises to disguise their identities and they may switch vehicles, weapons and other tools on a regular basis to stay one step ahead of law enforcement. They sometimes create detailed and carefully crafted backstories in order to gain the trust of those around them and convince people to let them into their confidence. They also create detailed timelines of their past movements in order to cover their tracks and to suggest a false alibi. Finally, many serial murderers have used technology to gain access to potential victim’s data and surveillance footage in order to gain more precise planning and knowledge about when and where their crimes can be carried out without suspicion.
