[Portrait of a Serial Killer]

Apr 27, 2005 20:48

If you shoot someone in the head with a .45 every time you kill somebody, it becomes like your fingerprint, see? But if you strangle one, stab another, one you cut up, one you don't, then the police don't know what to do. They think you're 4 different people. What they really like, what makes their job so much easier, is pattern. What they call a modus operenda. That's latin. It's like a trail of shit. It's like the blood droppings from a deer you shot, and all they gotta do is follow those droppings, and pretty soon, they're gonna find their deer.

You can use a gun. I'm not saying you can't use a gun. Just don't use the same gun twice.
