The Texas Killing Fields

Thanks to hundreds of fetal accidents the road is referred to as the “Highway to Hell”. There’s also another reason the area is so frightening.

Punishment For These Notorious Criminals

How Many Active Serial Killers In Us

Perhaps one of the key elements in dealing with the public fascination surrounding serial killers is to place more emphasis on their victims rather than focusing on the gruesome details of the crimes. Whether due to childhood abuse, mental health issues, or a need for power and control it’s important to remember that serial murderers aren’t anti-heroes. They enjoy causing pain, lack remorse, and empathy and are compelled to repeat their murderous acts again and again. Whether the appropriate punishment is deemed to be life imprisonment or the death sentence, these violent offenders pose an ongoing threat to the public and must never be released back into general society.
