For years now the criminal mind has been a constant mystery. Questions all referring to why? We have taken the time to research about these 3 most notorious, and the most interesting killers. These crimes are very disturbing, but they open the eye to what they are capable of.

The Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac killer happens to be one of the strangest killers in history. From the years of the late 60’s the Zodiac killer has sent codes through mail to the police department, stating how many he killed. And where he killed them. Each code could not be decrypted.

How was he arrested? The Zodiac killer

Being wrapped in plastic clothes line being tied up.
From victim 2: the same thing happened. Why? Because victim 1 and victim 2 were a couple. From the description from victim1 the Zodiac killer was over 6ft tall, wearing a strange costume, and having a gun in hand. From since he is so remote and doesn’t appear ANYWHERE in public, a possible diagnosis would be Antisocial-personality-disorder. But if that’s not the case I would have to give another diagnosis for Misophonia, mostly because how much they disagree with noises, and public. Also for being easily enraged.

The Crazy

Each once either ranging from 8- 24. 12 of them with missing heads/ or never found. From the lack of empathy or emotion when comes to feeling bad for what he had done, we would diagnose psychotic depression.

Jack the Ripper This killer is the most dangerous one of them all, having theories of there being multiple people being the murderer, so many stories, yet so little truth on what lies in-between the eye of the truth itself. Nobody knows the exact answer yet we put together our best answer yet.

How was he arrested?
Jack has never been found to this day. Nobody knows his true name, or where to find him, although researchers have known where the murders have taken place, nobody knows how many have proclaimed to ‘be Jack the Ripper’. Though investigators are sure that he died in 1888 in London, England.

Diagnosis
From his surgical experience and perfect placings on just how to kill or remove a certain spot we would either claim he was a doctor, or he had OCD, but no answer can be defiant, from only making his kills in the night on the darkest ends of the streets in London. We couldn’t find anything that links with a disorder. Another diagnosis for so many places and people that claim to be Jack I would diagnose a split personality
