Discuss the investigation of serial homicides and the unique challenges they present to investigators.
What will be an ideal response?
Investigating homicides that are suspected as being a part of a series but appear as random and without traditional motive are incredibly difficult to solve. Serial killers often are mobile, and they plan well in advance so that no witnesses are present. Sometimes, a crime scene or even a body is not found. Several law enforcement agencies may be involved in such situations. Thus, task forces are developed as a high-profile investigative response, bringing together different agencies in a productive manner.
