What is the basic profile of serial killers?

Content: Although, as he was being transferred to prison, he was able to escape and was captured eight days later. In December of 1977 he escaped again through a hole in the ceiling of his cell and he was not discovered to be gone until fifteen hours later, so that gave him a giant head start. He made his way to Tallahassee, Florida and attacked four of the members of the Chi Omega Sorority. His final attack was on a twelve-year old girl, and this marked the end of his murderous rampage. In July of 1979 he was convicted of the Chi Omega killings because of the bite marks, which were a definitive match to Bundy. He received a double death penalty so there was practically no way that he could get out of dying, even though he tried to appeal his punishment. On July 24, 1989 he was put to death and after he was pronounced dead, crowds cheered and set off fireworks. Before he died he admitted to 36 killings, but many experts would approximate that the final tally is closer to 100. Serial killers have been around since there have been people. They date as far back as 1888, and probably even further, and go all the way to the late 20th century.
