It's interesting that resources such as the Radford University Serial Killer Database show a drop in the estimated number of active serial killers since the 1970s/80s, and yet here are four recent and appalling cases. Your point about society combating prejudice against indigenous people and sex workers is a strong one – let's hope law enforcement have taken those lessons on board to expedite the capture of killers like those listed in this post.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post, Robin. While the number of active serial killers (that we know about), has certainly dropped since the 1980s and 1990s, I think the number of documentaries and shows about past serial killers has created the illusion that there are NO serial killers today. This is clearly far from the truth.
