F.B.I report on Serial Killers →
Myth: Serial killers are all dysfunctional loners.
The majority of serial killers are not reclusive, social misfits who live alone. They are not monsters and may not appear strange. Many serial killers hide in plain sight within their communities. Serial murderers often have families and homes, are gainfully employed, and appear to be normal members of the community. Because many serial murderers...

International Governments are Afraid of the...
It’s quite simple the international governmental community is afraid of what the internet has become, which is why control measures continue to clamp down on the internet.
