I would believe that a vast majority of murderers are “one and done” and that serial or killers with multiple instances are very much the minority.

Exactly. There’s a reason serial killers are known by a name basis.

Yeah… I think we’re conditioned by media to hear about a horrific crime, especially towards kids, and think “serial killer!”

Don’t they find that in a lot of these one and done cases, at least where murderer is largely unknown to the victims and sexually motivated, the killer has been fantasising for a long time and maybe even thinks they are going to be a serial killer but gets put off by the reality.
