Very disturbing but very good quiz. I like the addition of the psychological profile. In Australia in the 1990s there was a serial killer called Ivan Milat who killed, I think 7 young hitchhikers just south west of Sydney. But some of the victims were killed differently to others; some close up with a knife, others at a distance with either a rifle or a bow and arrow. Some police and criminal psychologists think that a second person was involved, maybe one of Milat's brothers, because some of the murders do not fit Milat's psychological profile.
