After reviewing the evidence, it is reasonable to suggest that there is not one singular cause of serial killing, rather a variety of social, biological and cognitive factors and that can cause someone to be susceptible or expedite the process of becoming a serial killer. Lastly, personality disorders are explored in relation to social, biological and cognitive psychology and how they link to serial killing. Cognitive psychology explores how brain dysfunctions can lead to serial murder, with emphasis on head injury causing frontal lobe damage. Biological psychology explores the nature side of the debate, with emphasis on chromosomal abnormalities, a biological predisposition for crime and other biological functions. Social psychology explores the nurture side of the ‘nature vs nurture’ debate, with emphasis on childhood trauma, re-enactment and self-evaluation. Definitional problems with defining serial murder has led to confusion when classifying murder and therefore its causes. Californias I-5 Strangler Roger Reece Kibbe, 81 (left), serving multiple life terms died in state prison after being found in his cell next to fellow inmate Jason Budrow, 40 (right), early Sunday. Serial murderer is classified as the murder of 3 or more victims by the same offender, over multiple locations with the presence of a cooling off period (Ressler et al, 1988). A plethora of literature and various case studies of incarcerated serial killers have been used to support or debunk the theories explored. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to look into potential causes of serial killing, with emphasis on social, biological and cognitive psychology. Kibbe also cut off most of the hair of his victims to remove the duct tape before leaving the scene of the crime.Although serial killing was only defined in 1988, there is still more research to be conducted into the causes of this phenomena. Then, he raped them and strangled them to death. He then proceeded to cut open their clothes in irregular shapes with scissors that had belonged to his mother. Kibbe kidnapped his victims, tied them up and silenced them with duct tape. Burleigh had left her Walnut Creek, California home in 1977 for a job interview but never returned. In 2011, a detective returned to the Burleigh dump site on his own, found a bone in the creek, and DNA testing proved it to be Burleigh's. Burleigh's body was not found and a Grand Jury was convened.Īfter a plea bargain to avoid the death penalty, on November 5, 2009, Kibbe was sentenced to an additional six life sentences, this time for the murders of Lora Heedick, Barbara Ann Scott, Stephanie Brown, Charmaine Sabrah, Katherine Kelly Quinones, and Lou Ellen Burleigh. In 2009 Kibbe again returned to the site with detectives. In 2007 a detective searched the area again. In 2003 Kibbe accompanied prosecutors and detectives to a dry creek he remembered to try to find the body of Lou Ellen Burleigh, whom he had discarded in 1977. On May 10, 1991, Kibbe was sentenced to 25 years to life imprisonment for the murder of Darcie Frackenpohl to serve his time at Pleasant Valley State Prison. 28, and was pronounced dead less than an hour later. Kibbe found all but one of his victims on the freeways around Sacramento, California. Roger Kibbe, also knows as the I-5 Strangler, was found unresponsive around 12:40 a.m. Roger Reece Kibbe (born May 21, 1939) is an American serial killer known as the 'I-5 Strangler'.
