You know, the funny thing is, people always think serial killers are geniuses

But you look at a guy like Dennis Rader, and the dumbshit sent a word document with metadata from his church computer with his username that alerted police.

I guess that hubris of narcissism comes to bite you in the arse eventually

Serial killers are quite intelligent however not free from committing human errors. Generally, most of these criminals successfully get away for years. Pretty sure many never get caught also in their lifetime.

@SW-User I'd disagree, many of those who were caught didn't have much higher intelligence than the rest of the population. Some even below.

@basilfawlty89 law enforcement have access to multiple advanced ways to find even the smartest criminal. Considering serial killers commit a lot of crimes, it takes one mistake to uncover them. Normally, it's one killer vs multiple intelligent minds armed with technology.

Human error happens. Everyone does it.
