You need to analyze/Profile all six (6) cases!! When writing this research/information paper, please separate the Gain from the Comfort type.
Case 1. This killer terrorized the Rochester, New York area with a series of 11 killings from 1988-1990. He was captured while revisiting a corpse at the site of one of his murders. He was a 26-year old white male with a history of Army service overseas and an erratic, abusive relationship with his mother. His mother constantly berated him for his actions. He spoke of oral sex with his sister, but this was unsubstantiated. He blamed his actions on divorce and alcohol. He was a bed wetter as a child, loved to set fires, and was cruel to animals. He claimed to have had sex with animals, chickens mostly, because they usually died during sex. He enjoyed having hookers "play dead" during sex, and apparently stepped up into cannibalism. Most of his victims were young 11-year old girls he apparently killed for sex and pleasure.

Case 2. This killer terrorized the Russian countryside from 1978-1990, often changing jobs to enable his sexual predilections and hard-core proclivities to be practiced. He preferred young children, but also had an interest in prostitutes. He was married to a rather unremarkable and sexless wife who remained loyal and faithful to him. He would mostly capture and kill his victims in a blitz attack, then rape them and masturbate after wards at the scene of the slaughter. At work, he was a school teacher who students often reported would stare off into space or ask "What was I talking about" during class.

C. Thrill-oriented
D. Power-oriented
E. Gain-oriented
Case 3. This killer was raised by a college administrator in California and from 1962-1972 killed a total of 11 people, including his grandparents. As a child, he reportedly tried to kill his mother. He frequently would call police anonymously and taunt them with pleas that he would turn himself in if they would only promise him a punishment of death by torture. With his victims, he made sex dolls or slaves out of them before killing them. He often would sit and stare at people, making them uncomfortable; then stalk them to their homes to sexually defile them. His rapes escalated into frenzied rampages where he used his brute strength to pull his victims heads off. He kept the heads as trophies.

Case 4. This killer, from 1979-1993, seduced gay boys in Milwaukee and performed crude brain surgery on them to make them zombies or sex slaves. He also admitted eating certain of their body parts to make them become part of himself. He "experimented" with various chemical concoctions and acids to dissolve body parts. His homosexuality troubled him, and he was an alcoholic. Most of his killing sprees took place after phone calls to his mother.

Case 5. This killer, from 1980-1993, was involved in the white slavery market of the Ukraine. He reportedly worked for middle eastern aristocrats who wanted sex slaves for their harems. He operated an abduction ring which attracted poor Ukrainian girls to modeling jobs where he would place them in holding pens, and rape them repeatedly until they were broken. Often, when he wasn't convinced they were broken, he would rape them and kill them. Interpol authorities said he did this to hundreds of women.

C. Thrill-oriented
D. Power-oriented
E. Gain-oriented
Case 6. The killer was an assistant professor in engineering who held jobs at several major state universities. He was known as a "gypsy scholar" for moving around from state to state. It seems like wherever he worked, colleagues in his department would show up dead, presumably poisoned by insect killer which had been traced to snack food items in the vending machines. Not all the victims died, only about twenty in all, since ten or so recovered from their illness. The police investigation was hampered a great deal by the tendency of professors and their family survivors to sue the vending machine companies. No one ever suspected the engineering professor because he kept a very low profile, although campus police did consider him a suspect at one point, but he was good at playing the victim card himself, and even poisoned himself slightly to throw off suspicion. He has recently been passed over for promotion in his last job, but this didn't seem to bother him, as he would just move on. When he was finally caught, police went through his personal effects and found an extensive scrapbook of all his crimes, including sympathy and get well letters sent to his victims and/or their families.

B. Lust-oriented
