Er is een groot verschil tussen moordenaars die één moord plegen, massamoordenaars die veel mensen tegelijk ombrengen en seriemoordenaars die zorgvuldig gekozen slachtoffers volgens een ritueel vermoorden. Een seriemoordenaar is een kille jager die geniet van de jacht, wordt gedreven door een ritueel of een bepaalde fixatie en steeds afhankelijker wordt van de kick die het moorden hem geeft.

Seriemoordenaars beginnen vaak met een paar vrij willekeurige moorden. Gaandeweg zoeken ze uit aan welke rituelen ze het meeste plezier beleven. Daarna stalken ze hun zorgvuldig uitgekozen slachtoffers of gaan ze ernaar op zoek speciale plekken, waar bijvoorbeeld prostituees of kinderen komen. Elke seriemoordenaar heeft zijn eigen unieke methoden en routines: hij pikt zijn slachtoffers bijvoorbeeld op bij bushaltes, kiest voor vrouwen met lang blond haar, bewaart trofeeën of snijdt zijn slachtoffers in stukken en eet ze op. Die signatuur kan leiden tot een aanhouding.
