Ur Criminal Profiling: An Introduction to Behavioral Evidence Analysis
av Brent E. Turvey, PhD - Criminology:
" an offender may approach a different victim in the same park with a ruse.
They may spend a few minutes together before the offender decides to make a move. The ruse itself is not the attack; it's only an approach. The attack comes later when the offender coerce the victim into noncompliant behavior. At that point, an offender may use commands, threats, fists or a knife to deliver corrective, controlling or lethal force. "
Control oriented force
Striking an noncompliant victim
Choking a combative victim
Biting a combative victim
Using ligatures to bind or secure the victims body
Using handcuffs
Using a gag to quell the victims verbal aktivity
Verbal threat of controlling, punshing, sexual or lethal force
"Quit moving around or I'll tie your hands behind your back"
Do that again and I kill you"
Do what I say or I'll put this in your ass"
"Keep walking or you'll really be taught a lesson"
Unarticulated presence of physical threat of controlling, punshing, sexual or lethal force
Precence of a gun
Precence of a knife
Precence of a bat (or other blunt force weapon)
Clenched and raised fist
Physical intimidation by virtue of size
Precence of handcuffs (or other obvious restraints)
When describing an offender's methods of control, the analysts is adomished to be specific about the physical mechanism of control and precisely how it
manipulated, regulated, restrained or subdued the victim behavior."
Ur Serial Violence: Analysis of Modus Operandi and Signature (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations)
av Robert D. Keppel, Associate Professor of criminal justice:
"
The victims pain and terror are stimulus to the killer, driving him into a grater frenzy that only
serves to intensify the level of the victims torture until the killers lust is momentarily satisfied.
To get to this level of sexual gratification
torture killers are most adept at luring victims, capturing them and the springing their traps.
Most are smooth talkers and beguilingly charming, but deceitful and ultimately lethal.
Torture-killers use all sorts of convential and innovative approaches to con their victims into a false feeling of safety."
"The set-up for the trap can range anywhere from few minutes of causal conversation to an elaborate ritual.
It's all a ruse to made to look innocent to trick a potential victim into stepping into the killers world. Once the victim is isolated and completely under the predators control, the killer begins the process of orchestrating
" the three D's" of sadistic killer:
(1) dependency, in which the victim is forced to rely upon the killer for each moment of life while in captivity; (2) dread, in which the victim is terrified at the pain and torture being inflicted; and (3) degradation of the victim at the hands of assailant. "
"The killers goal is to eclipse and ritualistically
take total command over his victim.
To faciliate his perversion he will use various props, such as leather slave collars, handcuffs, cigarette lighters, whips and adhesive or
duct tape. "
Citat:
Rader led Josie down to the basement.
"So my encore was to just take her down there and hang her," Rader told police.
"If she had been dead, I would have still hung her, just to hang her."
Hanging was a major part of Rader's fantasies
Earlier in his life, Rader had dressed up in women's underwear, tied a rope around his neck and took pictures of himself, as if he were hanging, in his parents' basement. He felt that basements were a good place to hang people.
"It's symbolic, like a dungeon," Rader told police.
Rader told Josie: "Well, honey, you're going to be in heaven tonight with the rest of your family."
Rader strategically tied Josie so she would hang by her neck, with the tips of her toes touching the ground. That way, the little girl would struggle to support herself, until her strength finally gave out and the noose choked the life out of her.
Rader had pulled down the girl's panties around her ankles. Watching her was "a sexual release," Rader would say."
"Fox went the way I wanted it," Rader told Detective Tim Relph.
Rader didn't have interruptions from nosy kids or men at Fox's house. He tied her up.
He strangled her to unconsciousness. He let her regain consciousness and he strangled her again.
"I told her I was BTK," Rader told Relph. He whispered it in her ear as she died."
"Unlike the others, Rader decided to choke Hedge with his bare hands — "throttle her," he called it.
Rader wanted to take her dead body to a barn. He liked barns. As a child, he told police, he'd kill stray cats and dogs and bind them with baling wire and hang them in a barn."
"Rader told police
he'd "troll" for victims and pick out cute young women who seemed vulnerable and alone. Despite taking copious notes and stalking his victims, he really didn't know them at all."
