The Pacific Nth West has been a regular playground of serial killers.

Prostitutes were being found discarded with plastic grocery bags tied around their heads. Shot in the head with a .22 gun. Defiled sexually. Until the Task Force uncovered a common like - a white Corvette driven by a frequent customer of Spokane's prostitutes.

In 2000, Robert Yates was arrested. Husband, father and National Guard pilot.

He plead guilty to 13 murders and got 408 years in prison. He has since been charged with similar murders.

Dude a whore is a whore, easiest kill there is and best way to get down without risking getting caught easily. You pay em enough and they'll handcuff themselves, it doesn't get any easier. I prefer the gunshot like this guy over strangulation because they struggle too much and can be really strong in the death throes and it takes a lot longer than anyone would think to strangle and you may feel pity, so small calibre is the go because it's instant especially for your first kill.
Just make sure you have a bag or something to drain the blood from the hole or your car will be fucking covered in DNA. Always shampoo and vacuum the car after a kill and if there is any DNA use bleachy water totally ruins it . Also don't carry a "kit" unless your ready for a kill, cops are trained to detect kits.and for fucks sakes don't drive a fucking corvette! Find the most common vehicle buy it and use that as your meat van. Dust buster is essential for sucking up evidence and DNA, vacuum the entire body especially the hair and the pubic region, if you are scratched cut the fingernails,If you don't use a condom bring a syringe full of bleach to squirt in the hole, again it destroys DNA.
Only pick up victims that are alone unless you want to do two, remember no witnesses. Take notes, observe your own patterns, dump bodies in random locations that mean nothing to you. I'm not actually a killer but if I was I'd do it like that.
