I'll start off this thread with this article.

A US border patrol agent has been charged with murdering four women in a two-week "serial killing spree" that ended when a fifth woman escaped.

Juan David Ortiz, 35, was arrested on Saturday after being found hiding in a truck in a hotel car park in the city of Laredo in southern Texas.

He had worked as a supervisor for Customs and Border Protection for ten years and investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the killings.

"We do consider this to be a serial killer," said Webb County District Attorney Isidro Alaniz.

"It’s interesting that he would be observing and watching as law enforcement was looking for the killer, that he would be reporting to work every day like normal.

Re the bold. What could he possibly be thinking playing this cat and mouse game?

@GuardianAngel Well he is a serial killer. I would assume that his brain doesn't exactly work like the rest of ours. Psychotic, narcissistic, sociopath...take your pick.

Look back at some of the more prolific serial killers in history. Some of them actually taunted the police.

Within the last several weeks I watched a documentary about the BTK killer in Wichita, KS. He followed the case closely thru news reports both on TV and in the newspapers then sent information about the killings to them as well.

Back in the 70's there was the "Son of Sam" killer in New York City. He also taunted police.

The Unabomber was another one that taunted police. And, the Zodiac Killer.

Seems to be something they all have in common.
