Hey guys, I have a question for you.

Are serial killers born to kill or does their obsession develop in childhood?

Have you ever stopped to think about it?

After researching some of the sickest and most distorted

minds on the planet, I've come to believe it's usually a blended mixture of both.

Arthur Conan Doyle, British writer most known for his adventures of Sherlock Holmes, once

said, a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.

Supporting the nurture theory, this makes sense.

Factoring in that 70% of serial killers have known childhood abuse or other adolescent

traumas.

Plus FBI statistics stating most serial killers are based right here in the United States.

However, the biological determinism theory also holds water.

Using the latest brain scanning technology a scientist can map

out neural connections in the brain and yes a psychopath's brain differs

completely from the rest. A smaller amygdala, for example, tends to mean that

the person is more empathy deficient. Tonight, we look into the mind of a serial killer a real jekle and hide personality

who sat on Florida's death row for 34 years as our top scientific minds asked that same question.

Was Bobby Joe Long, known to many as the Tampa-based serial killer

and also the classified ad rapist, a product of his disastrous childhood, or was he simply born to kill? So tonight I got a great story. We're covering a serial killer tonight.

Ooh.

Ooh.

In a while. Happy October by the way, everyone.
