Profile of a Serial Killer: John Christie

Most serial killers come from dysfunctional families, and they seem to have little love and more abusive tendencies due to a lack of emotional reactions to the horror that they have caused. These types of people start out sometimes harming animals. They also tend to have issues in school or can't seem to get anyone to like them. Something in the brain triggers them to go out killing.

Could it be revenge, the thrill of it, or too much anger inside? No one really knows but the serial killer themselves. Serial killers have a weird behavior to them and can't seem to tell the truth. Most of them suffer from severe memory problems, and the majority has experienced alcohol or drug abuse at some point in their life.

They tend to have a high sex drive and abnormal sexual behavior. Most of them have a selected place on where they prefer to orchestrate their killings at. Preferable choices include the woods, lakes, amusement parks, and so on. Some of them only choose to go after one sex to where others don't care who it is. Most serial killers choose victims from their own race, and rarely go outside of it.

In 1943 John Christi lived in a two story home in London with his wife Ethel. He had made the upstairs of his home a flat and rented it out to tenants. That same year a woman by the name of Ruth Fuerst had decided to visit John's home.

According to him when this woman had shown up she had undressed herself and insisted that he have sexual intercourse with her. He claims to have received a telegram letting him know that his wife was on her way home. He claims that the woman asked him to take off with her and he had refused.

He had had sex with her and while in the middle of it he had strangled her with some rope. Because he was expecting his wife he had covered up the body up in her coat and then put her under the floor boards in his kitchen.
