Another great blog post by Katherine Ramsland. Why do serial killers try to confess to more murders than they actually commit?
Dewayne Lee Harris, a serial killer I investigated, (whose case is detailed in my book), tried to confess to murders he clearly didn’t commit. (He didn’t know enough about the murders, as opposed to the ones he did commit, where he could detail the minutia of the crime). Was he just trying to be more of a badass than he was?
I think so.
Katherine Ramsland addresses that issue in this blog post for Psychology Today.
