I’ve had a dark and terrifying thought recently. John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer who lived outside of Chicago appeared to be an upstanding citizen, and preyed upon the most vulnerable boys and young men in society. And I started to think about how vulnerable many of the high-profile victims of police were. The conclusion that I just can’t shake is that by far the obvious career choice for a legitimately pathological serial killer would be the police. It’s a position with authority, and that is largely respected. Not only would such a person likely not be arrested, but they would be vigorously defended.
