Derek Van Schaik | Why serial killers attend their victims’ funerals @DerekVanSchaik | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
What’s the criminal psychology of why serial killers attend candlelight vigils and funerals for their victims?
Police, detectives, and the FBI are usually at these events when the killer is at large to attempting to spot someone who is behaving oddly or seems to be out of place.
If you’re thinking, why would a serial killer do something that is so risky reckless, and pointless? That’s because a serial killer’s decisions aren’t based on sound logic, judgement, and reasoning, but instead are driven by emotion, addiction, hubris, mental illness, and instant gratification, which often causes them to get caught.
Serial killers may attend these events because they’re risky to attend giving them an adrenaline rush thrill of possibly getting caught. Additionally, it’s one more act of feeling connected to their victims and even to flaunt that they did it and got away with it.
The killer in the Idaho murders will surely be at some of the memorial services for their victims because they also want to feel they’re claiming what has received so much international media attention.
