Of course, Annie-Xmas, they can’t know the race of the killer while he’s still at large. But if the statistics above that blacks suggest may be over-represented as serial killers, I wonder how many of their stories disappear without a radar blip once they are caught.
In 1997, in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., a white guy abducted, mutilated, and buried the bodies of 8 white women in the basement of his house.
Surely you have all read about this?
How about the truth then. The guy was black, and his victims were 8 prostitutes
Now you know why you’ve never heard of it. Even the local paper dropped the story after a few days. Simply amazing.

(And, my son went to High School with this crazy bastard!) :eek:
During the DC sniper’s spree, I heard a profiler discussing a related issue. The sniper was profiled as a white male, but this expert said that it was sloppy for profilers to always include that as part of the profile.
She said that there are a number of minority serial killers. Some aren’t heard of because of what astorian said. But she also said that since minorities tend to live in lower economic/higher crime areas, a minority serial killer can kill for a long time before police realize there’s a serial killer loose. It’s chalked up to a person being killed because they are in a bad part of town.
