The first thing that comes to my mind is that vampires are like serial killers, bloodthirsty and violent, hiding in the shadows and forever youthful. Mysterious, dangerous, fascinating, yet repulsive.

I think this needs to be viewed from two sides. For me personally, seeing a serial killer in the news evokes very complex emotions. I feel disgusted by what they’ve done, and if I were in the victim’s position, I would feel a lot of fear and a sense of helplessness. But if the incident is far removed from me, or if it happened a long time ago, I find myself drawn to the killer’s story, wanting to learn more and see more.

此人在上世纪80年代到90年代之间，在美国华盛顿州的西雅图市和塔克马城之间连续杀害多名女性，仅警方确实找到的受害者遗体就有48具。这些受害者的尸体基本都被抛弃于绿河（green river）之中

I think this doesn't require much explanation. I'll first list some news about serial killers:

This individual continuously murdered multiple women between the 1980s and 1990s, in the area between Seattle and Tacoma in Washington State, USA. The police have confirmed finding the remains of 48 victims. Most of these victims' bodies were discarded in the Green River.

吸血鬼在杀人后总有一天会再次饥渴，然后再杀一次人

The first things that come to mind are definitely fear and disgust, especially if the killer is close by. No one wants to become their next victim, and no one wants someone they know to suffer like that.

It's hard to explain why, but the stories of serial killers are often turned into various forms of artistic works. It seems like many people, including myself, are naturally drawn to these kinds of stories. I'm curious why, why these killers commit such cruel acts.

The closest thing to a serial killer that I can encounter in my life, and the mindset closest to that of a serial killer, is an animal abuser. There is often an inherent connection between torturing animals and progressing to harming people. Although I don’t know anyone like that personally, for me, hurting a defenseless animal makes me just as angry as hurting a person who has no ability to resist.

1982年2月11日，香港警方在沙田城门河发现一个女性人头与一双女子手臂，其后证实是属于22岁的夜总会大班陈凤兰所有，由此引出了名列香港十大奇案之列的连环杀人案——“雨夜屠夫”林过云案。

林过云原名林国裕，香港连环杀手、强奸犯，有“雨夜屠夫”之称。他在犯案前为一名夜班的士司机，而案件中受害者均为女性。犯案时多为下雨的晚上，他以的士把目标接载到僻静地方，然后迷晕杀害，进行奸尸并把尸体的性器官部份肢解作为标本。于1982年2月至7月间共杀了4人。

案件于1983年3月3日起开审，经过陪审团裁决之后，一共被控四项谋杀罪，本应判处绞刑，最后到1984年8月依例特赦改判林过云终身监禁。

Lam Kor-wan's Arrest

On February 11, 1982, Hong Kong police discovered a woman's head and a pair of female arms in Shing Mun River in Sha Tin, which were later confirmed to belong to 22-year-old nightclub hostess Chan Fung-lan. This led to the uncovering of one of Hong Kong's top ten most notorious cases of serial murder — the "Rainy Night Butcher" case involving Lam Kor-wan.

Lam Kor-wan, originally named Lam Kwok-yu, was a Hong Kong serial killer and rapist, known as the "Rainy Night Butcher." Before committing his crimes, he worked as a night-shift taxi driver, and all his victims were women. Most of the murders occurred on rainy nights, when he would pick up his targets in his taxi, drive them to secluded areas, then drug and kill them. He would commit necrophilia and dismember their genitalia as specimens. Between February and July 1982, he killed a total of four victims.

The case went to trial on March 3, 1983. After the jury's verdict, Lam was convicted of four counts of murder and was originally sentenced to death by hanging. However, following the customary clemency, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in August 1984.

在1978年到1991年之间，他多次引诱男性，尤其是男性同性恋者，并将之杀害。然后奸尸、分尸并食用部分尸体。比较特殊的是，杰弗瑞只针对有色人种（就是黑人），并不针对白人。

1994年，一名自称替天行道的黑人囚犯在劳作时杀死了他。吃黑人肉多年的密尔沃基怪物，最终死于黑人之手。

Dismemberment, necrophilia, cannibalism... each of these terms alone is horrifying enough. But in the United States, there was once someone who embodied all of these traits, repeatedly committing such acts, earning the nickname "The Milwaukee Monster." That person was Jeffrey Dahmer.

Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer repeatedly lured men, particularly gay men, and murdered them. He then committed necrophilia, dismembered the bodies, and consumed parts of the corpses. What's especially notable is that Dahmer specifically targeted people of color (mostly Black men) and did not target white people.

In 1994, a Black inmate who claimed to be delivering justice killed Dahmer during work duty. After years of consuming the flesh of Black men, the Milwaukee Monster ultimately died at the hands of a Black man.

前苏联是充满悲剧的国度。而被西方媒体称为“森林地带杀手”的奇卡提罗更能悲剧国度的代表角色。

安德烈·奇卡提罗，1936年出生于乌克兰的亚布洛奇耶，安德烈的父母之前在乌克兰大饥荒中失去了一个儿子。在大饥荒年代，乌克兰普遍发生食人的事件。安德烈自小就听他父母灌输兄长是被饥民所食的观念。而在安德烈5岁时，又目睹了自己的母亲被德国占领军轮奸，这些都在他幼小内心中留下严重的阴霾，以致于在性方面产生障碍。祸不单行的是战后他的父亲还被认为是叛徒，遭到社会的唾弃，这更加剧了安德烈的反社会倾向。

自1978年开始，安德烈经常把妇女或儿童骗到森林深处，将她们扼杀或刺杀，然后奸尸、开膛并食尸。最后还要取走受害者的眼球。

直至1990年，奇卡提罗杀害了至少53名年轻妇女与男童，但这只是官方有据可查的保守估计。他借助采购工作的便利，在火车站及汽车站寻找侵害目标，并在外出工作的沿途作案，其作案区域横跨整个俄罗斯。

戏剧性的是，安德烈受审时恰逢社会巨变，社会混乱。所以尽管其在1992年就被判处死刑，却拖到1994年才被执行枪决。

The former Soviet Union was a land filled with tragedies, and Andrei Chikatilo, dubbed "The Forest Strip Killer" by Western media, became a symbol of this tragic land.

Andrei Chikatilo was born in 1936 in Yabluchne, Ukraine. Before his birth, his parents had lost a son during the Ukrainian famine. During this time, widespread incidents of cannibalism occurred in Ukraine, and Andrei grew up with his parents instilling in him the belief that his older brother had been eaten by starving villagers. At the age of five, Andrei also witnessed the horrific rape of his mother by German occupying forces, further darkening his young psyche and leading to severe sexual dysfunction. Adding to his misfortune, after the war, his father was labeled a traitor, leading to societal scorn, which only intensified Andrei's antisocial tendencies.

Beginning in 1978, Andrei frequently lured women or children into deep forests, where he would strangle or stab them, commit necrophilia, disembowel the bodies, and even eat parts of the victims. He would also take the victims' eyeballs as trophies.

By 1990, Chikatilo had murdered at least 53 young women and boys, although this is only the conservative official estimate. Taking advantage of his job as a procurement officer, he selected his victims at train and bus stations, committing murders during his travels, with his crime spree spanning the entire territory of Russia.

Ironically, Chikatilo's trial coincided with a period of massive social upheaval. Despite being sentenced to death in 1992, the execution was delayed until 1994 due to the chaos, when he was finally executed by a gunshot.

自1973年到1978年， 在华盛顿、犹他、俄勒冈等地陆续有女尸被发现。这些女尸都有共同的特征：被钝器击打头部、被性侵、扼死，部分尸体上有齿痕。而据目击者称，在案发现场基本都会遇到一个名叫泰德、年轻帅气的白人男性。1974年，一位名叫卡罗尔的女性从泰德的魔爪中死里逃生，并在一年后认出了泰德，警方随即逮捕了他。

但是泰德并未轻易就范，而是利用警方证据不足而对抗侦查。但随着证据增多，泰德自忖难以翻盘，便开始策划越狱，并在1977年成功，逃窜至佛罗里达。在这里，他旧习难改，继续奸杀女子，最终难逃法网。泰德·邦迪于1989年被判决并执行死刑，在电椅上结束了罪恶的一生。被他杀害的人数一般认为是35人，但实际上有从26人到100人不等的争议。

在被监禁期间，泰德就曾为另一个连环杀人案——“绿河杀手”案中给警方提供意见，也算以毒攻毒。这个桥段被后来的《沉默的羔羊》所借鉴。而高级知识分子出身的连环杀手，也可以从电影《美国精神病人》中找到相似之处。

Ted Bundy, born Theodore Cowell, appeared on the surface to be a promising young man from the University of Washington. After graduation, he even worked as an assistant to a politician in Washington State, with a successful career ahead of him. However, the other side of this talented individual revealed him to be the notorious serial killer, Ted Bundy.

From 1973 to 1978, the bodies of women were discovered one after another in Washington, Utah, Oregon, and other states. These bodies shared common traits: the victims had been bludgeoned on the head with a blunt object, sexually assaulted, strangled, and some had bite marks. According to witnesses, a young, handsome white man named Ted was often seen near the crime scenes. In 1974, a woman named Carol narrowly escaped Ted’s clutches and identified him a year later, leading to his arrest by the police.

However, Ted did not surrender easily and used the lack of evidence to challenge the investigation. As evidence against him mounted, realizing that he couldn’t win the case, Ted began planning an escape. In 1977, he successfully broke out and fled to Florida, where he continued his pattern of raping and killing women. Eventually, he was recaptured and faced justice. Ted Bundy was sentenced to death and executed in 1989, ending his life of crime in the electric chair. The generally accepted number of his victims is 35, but estimates range from 26 to 100.

While imprisoned, Bundy offered advice to the police on another serial killer case, the "Green River Killer" case, using his insights to help capture another murderer, a scenario later mirrored in The Silence of the Lambs. The idea of a highly intelligent serial killer is also reflected in the movie American Psycho.

具有重大嫌疑的杰克·塔兰斯

在旧金山湾区，曾有一个著名的连环杀手，他凶残而狡猾，最终也没有受到法律制裁，和开膛手杰克一样，给后世带来无限猜想。这就是十二宫杀手。

十二宫杀手主要活动期间是20世纪的60-70年代。和专杀妓女的开膛手杰克不同，十二宫杀手目标主要是青年情侣或夫妻，除了倒霉的出租车司机保罗·斯丁。十二宫杀手在寄给媒体的信件中宣称自己杀害了37人，但根据调查结果显示有证据证明他曾试图杀害7人，其中2人生还，5人死亡。还有一些凶案被怀疑为十二宫杀手所为，但缺乏证据。

十二宫杀手最特殊的特点是他比开膛手杰克更乐于在媒体展现自己，经常向媒体写信表达自己的想法，甚至点评电影和电视节目。更为著名的是他在信件中附有一段由星象标志、字母和符号组成神秘密码，并宣称只要密码被破译，大家就可破解其真身之谜。然而至今，社会各界也并未能破译这些密码。这也使得该案平添了神秘悬疑的气氛。

十二宫杀手信件中的星象标志

十二宫杀手当时未被警方抓获。但40年后美国加州男子丹尼斯·考夫曼突然向FBI爆料称，他在整理已故继父杰克·塔兰斯留在一个公共储物箱内的遗物时，意外发现了多件惊人铁证，足以证明继父杰克·塔兰斯就是“十二宫杀手”。但FBI介入调查后，知道今天，结论依旧是“尚无定论”。

The Highly Suspected Jack Tarrance

In the San Francisco Bay Area, there was once a notorious serial killer, brutal and cunning, who was never brought to justice, much like Jack the Ripper, leaving behind endless speculation for future generations. This was the Zodiac Killer.

The Zodiac Killer was primarily active during the 1960s and 1970s. Unlike Jack the Ripper, who targeted prostitutes, the Zodiac Killer's victims were mostly young couples or married pairs, with the exception of the unfortunate taxi driver Paul Stine. In letters sent to the media, the Zodiac Killer claimed to have murdered 37 people, but based on investigations, there is evidence proving he attempted to kill seven people, with five fatalities and two survivors. Other murders are suspected to be the work of the Zodiac Killer, but lack sufficient evidence.

The most distinctive trait of the Zodiac Killer was his desire to present himself in the media, more so than Jack the Ripper. He often wrote letters to the media to express his thoughts, even commenting on movies and TV shows. Most famously, he included mysterious ciphers in his letters, made up of astrological symbols, letters, and signs, claiming that if the ciphers were deciphered, his true identity would be revealed. However, to this day, no one has fully cracked these ciphers, adding an extra layer of mystery to the case.

The Zodiac Killer was never apprehended by the police. But 40 years later, a California man named Dennis Kaufman suddenly came forward and reported to the FBI that while sorting through his deceased stepfather Jack Tarrance's belongings in a public storage unit, he discovered several pieces of shocking evidence that he believed proved his stepfather Jack Tarrance was the Zodiac Killer. However, after the FBI investigated the claim, to this day, the conclusion remains "inconclusive."

开膛手杰克是连环杀手中的祖师级人物。除了出现时间早之外，这名杀手始终没能被绳之于法，神秘感强；而且极其嚣张，主动挑战社会公众。

开膛手杰克案发于伦敦东区，是当时著名的东欧移民区和贫民区。拥挤逼仄的环境和三教九流的民众很容易滋生犯罪。1888年，一具妓女的尸体在东区白教堂被发现，宣告了一个恶名远播的恶魔出现。紧接着，又有各种女尸在这一区域被发现，这些女尸都被割喉并开膛破肚，肠子甩出身外，还有部分器官或肉块被取走。

更加刺激居民神经的是，报社很快收到以署名为“开膛手杰克”的信件，寄信人嚣张地宣称自己就是凶手，并且表示还将继续犯案。自此，开膛手杰克之名成为了伦敦的夜魇。

开膛手杰克的信

直到2007年，这一百年疑案终于被高科技技术手段破获。技术人员从妓女凯瑟琳·埃多斯凶杀案现场找到的披肩上的精液痕迹中提取了犯罪嫌疑人的DNA信息，并与几个重要嫌疑人的后代DNA做对比后确认，当年6大嫌疑人之一的波兰美发师阿伦·科斯明斯基为“开膛手杰克”本尊。

The Six Main Suspects - Top Row, Far Right: Aaron Kosminski

Jack the Ripper is considered the founding figure of serial killers. Beyond the fact that his crimes occurred early on, this killer was never brought to justice, adding to his mystique. He was also extremely brazen, deliberately challenging society and the public.

The Jack the Ripper cases took place in London's East End, a well-known area populated by Eastern European immigrants and the poor. The crowded, narrow streets and diverse population made it a breeding ground for crime. In 1888, the body of a prostitute was found in Whitechapel, East End, marking the emergence of a notorious demon. Soon after, more female bodies were found in the area, all with their throats cut, their abdomens slashed open, intestines pulled out, and some organs or pieces of flesh removed.

What further alarmed residents was that newspapers soon received letters signed by "Jack the Ripper," with the sender brazenly claiming to be the killer and stating that he would continue committing murders. From then on, the name Jack the Ripper became a nightmarish symbol in London.

Jack the Ripper’s letter

It wasn’t until 2007 that this century-old mystery was finally solved using modern forensic technology. Investigators extracted DNA from semen stains found on a shawl at the murder scene of Catherine Eddowes, one of the victims. After comparing the DNA with the descendants of key suspects, it was confirmed that Aaron Kosminski, a Polish barber and one of the six main suspects, was indeed the true identity of Jack the Ripper.

Most of their victims are from vulnerable groups in society, such as prostitutes or young boys. Of course, there are exceptions, but I believe that most serial killers certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to engage in a physical struggle with an adult man every time before killing them. The risk would be too high. Because of this, their method of killing doesn’t seem particularly terrifying but rather bloodthirsty and cowardly. In fact, the more gruesome the act, the deeper that cowardice appears.

漫不经心地驾驶、不注意其他事物在车辆路径中的运动、以过高的速度行驶，都会导致出现更多的动物因交通致死现象。^[4]

1996年加拿大安大略的一项研究发现，许多爬行动物在车辆轮胎通常不经过的地方被碾杀，由此推断一些司机故意轧死爬行动物。^[5]:138为了验证这个假设，2007年的研究发现，2.7％的司机有意地击中研究者伪装成蛇和海龟的诱饵。研究者观察到有的司机加速或变道以撞上诱饵。男性司机比女性司机更频繁地撞上诱饵。

用作车辆驶离马路时提醒司机之用的路肩震动带，有的是使用道路用盐铺成的。动物可能会把它当成盐舔食处而被吸引而来进行舔盐行为。^[6][7][8]

The expansion of many roads is based on altering and fragmenting wildlife habitats, which limits the range of movement for wildlife and leads to widespread roadkill incidents【3】.

Careless driving, not paying attention to movements in the vehicle’s path, and driving at excessive speeds all contribute to increased instances of wildlife being killed by traffic【4】.

A 1996 study in Ontario, Canada, found that many reptiles were run over in places where vehicle tires usually would not pass, leading to the conclusion that some drivers deliberately ran over reptiles【5】:138. To test this hypothesis, a 2007 study discovered that 2.7% of drivers intentionally hit decoys made to resemble snakes and turtles. Researchers observed some drivers accelerating or changing lanes to hit the decoys. Male drivers were more likely than female drivers to hit the decoys.

Rumble strips, used to alert drivers when they veer off the road, are sometimes made with road salt. Animals may be attracted to these areas, mistaking them for salt licks and engaging in licking behavior
