The components of being a serial killer have changed a lot since ed was digging for mummy. He is a murderer but he doesnt fit all the criteria for serial killer. Or maybe he did and there just isnt enough documentation. Fbi stresses the cool off period and i dont think anyone knows what lonely ed actually did. Surely did spawn some classic fictional characters

Bela, be a good stick and dont leave any marks

The F.B.I. no longer uses the cooling off period concept. It's two or more murders in separate events which defines serial murder. It's been this way for 13 years. Links provided already.

This is current info from the fbi behavioral unit:

II. Definition of Serial Murder

In the past thirty years, multiple definitions of serial murder have been used by law enforcement, clinicians, academia, and researchers. While these definitions do share several common themes, they differ on specific requirements, such as the number of murders involved, the types of motivation, and the temporal aspects of the murders. To address these discrepancies, attendees at the Serial Murder Symposium examined the variations in order to develop a single definition for serial murder.

Previous definitions of serial murder specified a certain number of murders, varying from two to ten victims. This quantitative requirement distinguished a serial murder from other categories of murder (i.e. single, double, or triple murder).

Most of the definitions also required a period of time between the murders. This break-in-time was necessary to distinguish between a mass murder and a serial murder. Serial murder required a temporal separation between the different murders, which was described as: separate occasions, cooling-off period, and emotional cooling-off period

Perhaps you have never been wrong but consider the vague possibility that you have and you are

It's called selective copy paste. When you scroll down on the page the same page 8 paragraphs down I linked to you read the CURRENT DEFINITION SINCE 2005.

The validity of spree murder as a separate category was discussed at great length. The general definition of spree murder is two or more murders committed by an offender or offenders, without a cooling-off period. According to the definition, the lack of a cooling-off period marks the difference between a spree murder and a serial murder. Central to the discussion was the definitional problems relating to the concept of a cooling-off period. Because it creates arbitrary guidelines, the confusion surrounding this concept led the majority of attendees to advocate disregarding the use of spree murder as a separate category. The designation does not provide any real benefit for use by law enforcement.

The different discussion groups at the Symposium agreed on a number of similar factors to be included in a definition. These included:

• one or more offenders
• two or more murdered victims
• incidents should be occurring in separate events, at different times
• the time period between murders separates serial murder from mass murder

In combining the various ideas put forth at the Symposium, the following definition was crafted:

Serial Murder: The unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events.

You're bitter because you can't admit your mistake. Grow up child. You'll be wrong plenty more just be sure to source and fact check current information.

You find one source and you cling on to it like you do when you suck on your dad's cock. Maybe you should do the world a favour and hang yourself with a barbed wire. Oh, and post it online for us to see so we can laugh at how pathetic you are.
