Another serial killer targeting the Marginalized

January 28, 2022 By Karl Leave a Comment

Serial Killer targeting the marginalized?

Kudos to San Francisco for opening cold cases involving a killer targeting the marginalized. In this situation, the prime suspect is a black man. Allegedly he killed about the same time some of my murderers in Privileged Killers did so in the same city. Targeting the marginalized. I'm slammed today, and so will print the S.F. Chronicle story here in its entirety. However, I've had much to say in the past –and will continue to speak out– about the injustice of allowing the preying upon … [Read more...]

CRIME INVESTIGATION Tutorial II— How the FBI used fingerprints to catch MLK’s Assassin- the climax..

September 18, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

  As noted in my prior blog, we can learn a lot from perhaps the greatest fingerprint sleuthing effort in recent American history. That would be how the FBI used fingerprints to nab MLK's assassin in 1968, two months after the history-changing event. Besides budding criminalists, criminology students, and the general public, crime writers may be interested in how a talented writer utilized his knowledge of fingerprint  ID tactics. Thus, much of this blog showcases paragraphs from … [Read more...]

CRIME INVESTIGATION Tutorial – How the FBI used fingerprint ID tactics to nab MLK’s Assassin.

August 23, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

  As I've done from time to time, I'm starting another tutorial series. This one's for everyone, but specifically for crime writers and students of criminology, crim justice, and forensics. For writers, it's intended to help them incorporate fingerprint ID tactics in their novels. And, as they -  and the teachers of students like you - know, it's a good way to introduce a topic is via a story. ID tactics So I'm starting off this series with a story. It's about how the FBI … [Read more...]

A Dark Triad Test to identify Psychopaths.

May 30, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

Test results for a Dark Triad type.

As you may know from a previous blog, I've been working on a book about the crimes and havoc committed by some people I knew with the Dark Triad personalities of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. Here's a Dark Triad test that's available on line. I can't attest to its reliability or validity (two key aspects of any psych test). However, look at the 36 item questionnaire and let me know what you think. If you go ahead and take it, you do so at you own risk. You might find … [Read more...]

Thoughts about “Clarice,” spinoff from “The Silence of the Lambs.”

February 28, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

Clarice

I managed to catch the  2nd episode of the "Clarice" series recently. It channeled the Waco cult situation, also known as  the Waco, Texas massacre.  That was the controversial law enforcement siege of a compound that belonged to the Branch Davidian religious cult. In the 2nd  episode,  Clarice deals with Novak, the leader of a secessionist militia group, hoping to avoid the debacle that happened when the Waco cult compound caught fire during the G-men's … [Read more...]

Popular Culture and True Crime – Tutorial III – Why women are such true crime fans.

February 14, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

True crime fans

  As part of our series on Popular Culture and True Crime, our final tutorial looks at why women seem such devoted true crime fans. Tutorials I and II dealt with the fascination with serial killer trading cards and murderabilia (the collection of mementos), respectively. While I've written about crime all my life,  I wouldn't call myself a true crime fan. In fact, I'm new to podcasts and true crime radio and I rarely have time for true crime stories on TV. Writing's pretty time … [Read more...]

Popular Culture and True Crime – Tutorial II – Murderabilia.

January 31, 2021 By Karl Leave a Comment

Murderabilia

  In a recent blog (go here), I discussed the furor created by the creation of serial killer trading cards* back in 1992. A similar controversy has erupted over the growing practice of collecting artifacts and even bits of hair from those involved in serial killings.           The controversy surrounding Murderabilia. It's an odd world where people collect and own bits of a stranger or infamous person, even if it's as innocent as a lock of … [Read more...]

Reasons you love a psychopath

Reasons you fell for a psychopath

When we picture a sociopath in our head,  we often conjure up dangerous people like Ted Bundy or the Silence of the Lamb character Hanibal Lector. But sociopathy—or antisocial personality disorder (ASP)—exists on a spectrum, and certainly not all sociopaths are killers. And of the estimated  3.8% … [Read More...]

The new Frida Kahlo. Are Appearances Deceiving?

After you learn some of the against-type characteristics of the artist's personal life, … [Read More...]

The new Paris Hilton. Are Appearances Deceiving?

  One of the themes in this website is "Appearances can be deceiving." In one blog  I wrote about the deceptive appearance of President John F. Kennedy.

Paris Hilton – the First Human Barbie?

It's no surprise that Margot Robbie is playing the first human Barbie in her new movie. Her looks and stature make her a natural to portray Mattel's doll introduced in 1959.  But Paris Hilton, too, can resemble the most famous toy of all. And so Paris may've beaten Margot to the punch as the first … [Read More...]
