There was a made for TV movie made a while back called "Calendar Girl Murders". We never even see the killer's face. In the end the hero (Tom Skerritt) roles him up in a carpet and brings him down the stairs.
Tom is asked "Who is he?"
"Nobody. That's his problem."
Pretty much sums up serial and binge killers all over, most recently in Colorado.
There really isn't a remedy. We have a very large population. It is easy to be "nobody", but with a craving to be more. There are numerous and ever expanding political and quasi-political efforts to control people, which tends to divide society into the controllers and the controlled. Serial and binge killing is one way to "get into the game" - and at the top, or at something that looks like the top.
We'll see more of this for a long long time. There is no real incentive for anyone with power to retrench the very power seeking that encourages it.
