Crime Website Predicts At Least 10 Serial Killers Living In Idaho

Unlike mass murderers like those who shoot a large number of people in a public setting, such as a movie theater or campus, serial killers are individuals who murder people randomly and then take what is referred to as a "cool down" period before striking again.

Examples of prolific serial killers in United States history include John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Gary Ridgway, Richard Ramirez, and Ed Gein. These killers were all ultimately caught after years of committing heinous crimes against people they barely knew, or didn't know at all.

One crime website compiled a list of the likely number of such people living in each state based on past criminal history, unsolved homicides, and other data.

World Population's crime/safety page predicts as many as 10 serial killers currently residing in the Gem State. Between 1992 and 2019, it's estimated that serial killings were responsible for as many as 45 victims, according to the source.
