Did SERIAL KILLERS change victims?

Serial killers didn’t disappear after the 1990s. They just learned who society wouldn’t look for. In this episode of Where Did All the Serial Killers Go?, I dig into one of the most uncomfortable theories in modern true crime...that the so-called “decline” in serial killers isn’t about DNA, technology, or better policing… it’s about who the victims are. From Indigenous women in Canada, to sex workers, to LGBTQ+ victims, to people living in poverty, this video explores how killers adapted to society’s blind spots...choosing victims whose disappearances were less likely to spark headlines, task forces, or national panic. This isn’t an easy theory. But the data, the cases, and the killers’ own words all point in the same direction. This video explores how race, class, media bias, policing priorities, and victim visibility shaped who became a “famous” serial killer... and who never did. We’ll look at: – Why killers like Ted Bundy and Ed Kemper became household names – Why others like Samuel Little, Joel Rifkin, Bruce MacArthur, and Robert Pickton operated for years with little attention – How missing persons data and murder clearance rates expose systemic blind spots – Why the “decline” in serial killers may actually be a data illusion – And what it means if killers didn’t disappear… but society just stopped noticing their victims This is one of the hardest episodes I’ve made in this series... not because the idea is complicated, but because it forces us to confront who society protects first… and who it protects last. 🔗 Full “Where Did All the Serial Killers Go?” playlist:    • Where Did All The Serial Killers Go?   💬 If you have thoughts — disagree, agree, or want to add context — drop a comment.
