UNSOLVED SERIAL KILLERS IN AMERICA SERIAL
at more than 2,000.Īrntfield, a former police detective and author of 12 books, thinks the number is much higher – between 3,000 and 4,000 active serial killers. “I’ll say almost every major American city has multiple serial killers and multiple uncaught serial killers.” Hargrove pegs the current number of active serial killers in the U.S.

“There are more than 222,000 unsolved murders since 1980,” Hargrove said. They offer as evidence their carefully maintained database, the largest in the nation. MAP has now sued the Department of Justice, FBI, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Defense and other federal agencies for failing to keep an accurate count as required by a 1988 law. In large part because thousands of murders, specifically indigenous women and girls, have gone uncounted. Hargrove and Arntfield maintain that government murder statistics are sorely out of whack with reality. MAP’s founder Thomas Hargrove and Director Michael Arntfield, the aforementioned experts in the field of murder data, believe savvy serial killers are responsible for a considerable number of those unsolved killings.

The FBI maintains that serial killers account for fewer than 1% of all murders, but that assertion has been challenged by experts at the Murder Accountability Project. If the uncaught are serial killers – that being someone who has committed two or more separate murders often with a sadistic sexual component – they will very likely murder again. Here’s the most frightening part: since only about 60% of murders are solved these days, that means about 40% of the time murderers will get away with it.

Some operate in big cities, others prefer the wide open spaces of rural America. And both men say that as you read this there are thousands of active serial killers roaming the U.S. That’s the opinion of two experts in the field of collecting murder data in America. Find out in details about America’s most notorious serial killers, their motives behind their actions and their fate.It has never been easier to be an undetected serial killer in the United States. Though most of them have been put behind the bars, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that there are still unknown serial killers who may be walking among the general public. America has had numerous serial killers who killed men, women, children and even infants for various reasons and motives. Whatever the case may be, these convicted killers and their murderous exploits have captured the attention of the public for many centuries now. While most of them turn to killing after being victims of substance abuse and sexual, others turn after experiencing a major breakdown of civil conduct, and still others have no background for turning into terrorizing individuals. What motivates a person to turn into a serial killer is not definite. They inflict individuals or ‘targets’ with pain using torturous devices and have become infamous for their acts.

In fact, they are very much a part of our modern society. Call them evil, disturbed, or simply mental serial killers are no figments of imagination. Believe it or not, America has been the address of some of the world’s most treacherous serial killers. Just as popular as America is for being a super power and the most advanced nation of the world, it also suffers for being one of the most debauched nations.
