Engl. 112 Searching

Today I searched Serial Killers just at the library, at Mesa I found 8 references of books. On prospector I found 241 books matching serial killers. When I limited my search to serial killers psychologically my search was reduced to 21 books.

Searching online, up until now, I wasn't keeping track of how many "hits' I was getting while searching. So far I have used these for search results:

Serial Killers
Serial Killer
Why People Kill
Serial Killers + psychologically
Mass Murders
Spree Murder
Felony Murder
Torture Murder
Proxy Murder
Serial+Killer
Multiple+Kills
Spree+Killer
Mind+Killer
"Mind Serial Killer"
"Inside Serial Killer"

Randi- I saw a very interesting documentary on life's of serial killers on A&E the other day. It was mainly about the background of famous serial killers and they were trying to establish a link between something that may have happend when they were children. I can't remeber the name of the documentary however I am sure that A&E has a website with a ton of factual data. Good luck with your search and I am very interested to see what you come up with.
