An Index Of Serial Killers 
 
There are several different definitions of a "serial killer". For the purpose of this web site we have used the definition giving by the author Robert Ressler in his book "However Fights Monsters". Simply stated, it says that in order to qualify as a "serial killer" one must have killed at least five people. For more information on serial killers, please see my links page.
