Early research on serial killers, tended to classify them into those two types.
As more has been learned about them, those who study them have realized that many present as a mix.
So you’ll see a guy who leans one way, but exhibits traits of the other category.
My belief in this case, is that this guy trends towards the “disorganized” variety, but did exhibit some organized characteristics.
Now, I don’t believe this guy meets the criteria of a serial killer (yet), but judging by the words and actions of law enforcement, it appears that they believe he is behaving like one.
I think he’s going to be the antisocial loner type individual, with average intelligence, and likely works some sort of a menial job.
That’s why I don’t think anyone has been able to identify him yet.
No one really knows him.
The definitions of a serial killers vary. The consensus is, three people in a serial manner, killed for a personal gratification, mean, serial killer, but some researchers believe, two is enough, while others extend it to four.
What I would like to see would be the comparison of victim numbers between organized and disorganized killers. It would seem, theoretically, that disorganized killers should have accumulated smaller body count before they are caught than organized ones; but I am not sure what data exists.
Somewhere I read that the first one or two kills are “disorganized” for everyone, and from that, some killers morph into organized ones by honing their skills, and some stay disorganized.
However, by the end of their careers, even organized killers might get into disorganized sprees and make mistakes, so the line is somewhat vague.
By definition, BG falls more into “disorganized” group, but it is likely his early kill, and there are some “organized” elements in it as well. He might well be morphing into an organized one. I hope he is caught soon.
I think his IQ is solid average, but not all organized killers have stellar IQs.
Agree that he is, likely, a loner. No one pays attention to him, I think.
Maybe his profession is so banal that everyone accepts him as “part of the environment”?
JMO - organized killers always have nice words to say about themselves, while disorganized and mixed ones spend way more time on blaming circumstances than on praising themselves. Maybe it is my observation bias.
