The Hidden Faces of Serial Killers

The FBI profiler who invented serial killer psychology got it completely backwards.

John Douglas spent decades creating profiles based on childhood trauma and broken homes,

but here's what nobody talks about. The most prolific serial killers in history were actually

well-adjusted, popular, and came from stable families. Dennis Rader,

the BTK killer, was a church president and Boy Scout leader. Ted Bundy worked at a suicide hotline

saving lives. John Wayne Gacy threw neighborhood block parties where he dressed as a

clown for sick kids. The real pattern isn't damaged people acting out, it's that these

individuals were so good at mimicking normal human behavior that they fooled everyone for decades.
