The main difference between people who kill many people in a row and true Serial Killers is the reason they kill. Whether, it is for a profession such as a Contract Killer, who kills for financial gain or a Serial Killer, who kills mainly to satisfy some inner psychological need. This section portraits three of the most infamous, American Serial Killers.
