WEEK 4 PROJECT

Typology, Victim Selection, and Investigation

The “Unabomber,” The “Zodiac Killer,” and the “BTK Killer” were all serial killers who remained at large for a long time. The Zodiac Killer has still never been captured.

Choose any of the three killers named above and create an 8-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint that covers the following points:

• Describe the killer’s activities and victim selection.
• Determine the killer’s typology.
• Describe and critique the investigation:
• Were the police methods effective?
• Are there investigative tactics or resources available today that would have been of assistance in the investigation?
• How did the police and other agencies work together?
• Did the investigators engage the public in any way, to assist in the investigation?
• Describe how the investigation ended, or its current status.
