Female Serial Killers... (pg60-106)

     Although Vronsky is all over the place in this book it all connects. He tells of serial killers from Mark Anthony's time to our time now. This book reveals scandals from the past that most people do not even dear to bring up. The chapters go from examples, to studies, to just random facts about female serial killers and how no matter what time they were always better at getting away with their crimes than the males.  There are said to be female serial killers worse than jack the ripper; however, they are not mentioned because of fear of chaos or the fact that their crimes could never be proven. The most famous, dangerous, and hardly mentioned serial killers were woman and from early times. This was because of the lack of records, and because the way that women were treated back then made them more manipulative and vengeful.
     Most horror stories today are because of female serial killers. Examples of these are count dracula and vampires. The theory of vampires came from Elizabeth Bathory who murdered women for their blood. She believed that is gave her youth and kept her beutiful. So Bathory drank, bathed, and wore the blood of her victoms. Records sgowed testomy of things she did like, "she bit out individual pieces of flesh from girls with her teeth" (Vronsky 88). Most people thought of this serial killer to be the devil. She killed hundreds and was successful with getting away with it for so long.
     The book also lead to questions. Even after becoming an expert on serial killers Vronsky and many others can never be sure about why some women become serial killers. Studies showed that women could become serial killers based on abuse (physical or mental from anytime in there life) or abandonment from parents. Studies show that males who were seperated from there fathers at birth often became criminals or murderers. These studies also showed that women who were seperated from trhere mothers at bith often kill, become abusive, or lack affection and trust which later turns into something more. The problem with this is that even after the study there were still questions left unanswered. Something else unexplainable causes some women to kill, think/dream of murder, and even worse plot to the point where they almost never get cought.
