A serial killer is a person who has killed more than three people within several months or even some years, with a break between murders. The cause is usually psychological (often sexual) satisfaction, though thrill, anger, attention seeking, and money may also be a motive.The FBI reports that more than 70% of serial killers experienced problems related to drug, substance or other addiction. While only a few serial killers were addicted to alcohol or drugs, many discovered them in their youth.
