Rest in peace Ken Landwehr

Ken Landwehr, the Wichita police commander who helped solve the BTK serial-killer case and many other Wichita homicides, died Monday. He was 59.
Landwehr had battled kidney cancer since shortly before he retired in 2012 from the Wichita Police Department. He commanded the department’s homicide unit for 20 years and led the task force that captured serial killer Dennis Rader – known as BTK – in 2005.
“My heart is broken,” Nola Foulston, the former Sedgwick County district attorney, said Monday. She worked hundreds of homicides with Landwehr.
“Wherever he is now, I hope there is golf, and I know that if there is, he’s shooting under par,” she said.
“Kenny gets a lot of notoriety for catching BTK and a lot of other killers,” said former Wichita police Deputy Chief Tom Stolz. “But Kenny only cared about the victims. That’s something that gets overlooked a lot, something people didn’t know unless they worked with him.
“What drove him was justice for the victims.”

Serial Killers – The Psychopathic Type – Documentary

A video documentary that looks at psychopaths. Not all are serial killers.
1 in every 100 person is a psychopath by some studies. (Other studies vary by only small amounts.)
All serial killers are psychopaths though.
Smart, charming, usually decent looking.
Conceited, arrogant, callous, egocentric and grandiose. (Though they hide all this pretty well.)
Usually other people are almost drawn to them, they like them, they trust them.
They are not mentally ill.
They were not abused.
They do not have brain damage.
They do not process emotional information the way everyone else does.
There is a lack of fear, a lack of inhibition.
They are cold blooded and fearless, blind to the emotions to others.

This documentary has some suggestions, ideas, insights.
There may be something different in their ‘wiring’. ?
Not answers, not cures, but maybe something like understanding. ?
Even brain scans can give hints, but as the doctor CLEARLY shows, not absolutes.

Ted Bundy, Jim Jones, Ian Bradley, Dennis Rader (BTK) are looked at.
