Interesting stat: women serial killers are supposedly very rare. But when found, they've killed from 6 to dozens of times.

I'm thinking they are not really rare, we just have a cultural blind spot. If that were so, then what do the known statistics say about the actual frequency? Fill in that bell curve.

I imagine many women serial killers can go a lifetime without getting caught.

We never know the people that commit the perfect murder because no one even knows a murder has taken place. I would guess that there multiple perfect murders every year but the number is impossible to know! But I agree with her advice, only do it once if you want to get away with it.

Over 1% of all people commit suicide.

It's really hard to tell the difference between a suicide, someone forced into suicide, and outright murder.

I suspect there might be a lot more murders than statistics report.

So many murder victims never come forward to speak about the crimes committed against them. This is surely very massively under reported.
