According to a recent study from Penn state, the average American female serial killer is a "young, middle-class woman, who is a married Christian of average intelligence and upbringing.

Imagine being wrongfully trialled for the murders of your father and stepmother. Well, this was Lizzie Borden’s reality in the notorious 19th century case. In August, 1892, the gruesome murders of Andrew and Abby Borden took place in a small town named Fall River. Because Lizzie Borden was believed to have a lot to gain with the murders of her parents, she was the only one accused of being the murder. With this case, I believe the council was right for pleading Lizzie as innocent. The public and police tried to use theories against her in court to prove she was guilty. With the whole public against her, Lizzie still stood strong and was proven innocent for the murders.
The case of Lizzie Borden is still one of the most talked about mysteries ever. The crime happened during the 1800s and to this day no one has ever been convicted for the murders of Lizzie’s father and stepmother. There have been many theories to what happened on that day. Lizzie Borden was the obvious suspect, but was never charged with murder. The Lizzie Borden case may remain a mystery forever.
Lizzie Borden took an Axe and gave her stepmother forty whacks, when she had seen what she had done, she gave her father forty-one. The problem is that Lizzie Borden was accused of murder of her dad and stepmother on August 4th, 1892. Lizzie Borden was not the murderer the day her parents were killed. Lizzie is not the murder because Lizzie deeply cared for her father, at Lizzie's trial she showed a grieving side of her that wasn't described in other sources at their time and because she was framed to be believed to commit murder on her parents. After the murderers Lizzie was treated very differently by MANY people even though she was innocent.

Amanda Knox is innocent! The whole incident is a big mess, the Italy police do not have enough evidence. The evidence that Meredith Kercher was found dead to Amanda Knox is not enough. Kerchers blood was found on a knife that Amanda used but it was only a tiny spec of blood. The break in was not enough to say other wise if it was fake. The two of them had lived in an apartment together and they touched and used everything. Nobody would be surprised if Kercher had cut herself on accident and that's how blood got on the knife.

Upon execution of his criminal acts, Bundy often visited the secondary scene of crime where he performed sexual acts with the decomposing bodies of the victims until destruction by wild animals or decomposition made further interaction with the bodies impossible. In addition to these criminal acts, Bundy decapitated heads of some of his victims and kept their heads in his residence for a period of time as mementos (Rule, 2009). The cases involving Bundy and his victims include cases of murder, rape, necrophile and kidnapping. These are capital offences that were well planned and executed by the perpetrator who made subsequent follow-ups of his criminal acts by visiting the secondary scene of crime. Description of the offender’s psychological history and functioning at the time of the offence is based on a statistical approach which involves the analysis of behavioural and other relevant information found at the scene of crime in order to infer the characteristics of the offender and his psychological processes (Woodhams & Toye, 2007)....
