Serialkiller Part07

1. The murderer admits that fantasies about the crime exist, but additional techniques like hypnosis may be needed to access full details. 2. When confronted with evidence, many murderers agree the evidence incriminates them but claim an inability to remember committing the act. 3. Even those claiming denial or fantasy should be questioned further to determine if they are consciously or subconsciously lying given the careful planning of the murders. Investigators should maintain a calm demeanor during questioning.
