Inside A Child Killer’s Mind – Who Killed Caylee? 1st Of A Multi-Part-Series

Larry Jay Levine, founder of consulting firm American Prison Consultants and veteran investigator Lawrence Olmstead of Hollywood P.I. profile in a multi-part-series the characteristics of child killers and why they committed their crimes.

Many people wonder what kind of sick perverted person would kill an innocent little girl.

While many killers have never been previously arrested, several types of diagnosed killers exist, each with their own style and distinctive traits associated with a particular kind of murder.

Over a series of days, starting with the mother, we will examine the personalities of hypothetical suspects, what their motives are and who they might be.

 “After spending 10 years inside a Federal prison, I rubbed shoulders with the worst society has to offer, and as you can’t tell a book by it’s cover, you can’t profile a killer by their appearance. In 2001, I meet Bruce William Clark at the Federal Prison in Safford, Arizona.  He was the nicest guy you could possibly meet,” said prison consultant Larry Levine, “I later learned that he was a former postal worker from Azusa, California, who’d showed up at work and killed his boss by blasting him in the face and torso with a .38-caliber revolver.”

A Child Killer’s Profile

While mothers, fathers, and other relatives account for the majority of child murders, only 9 percent of all serial killers kill children exclusively. Generally, these offenders sexually assault their victims before or after death. Most offenders are male, but over 25 percent are female with male killers targeting strangers and females targeting family members.

In most cases, women are prone to kill children for financial gain or just enjoyment and make use of quiet means such as poison, suffocation or drowning, as done in June 2001 by mother Andrea Yates in Houston, Texas, who drowned her 5 children in a bath tub because she felt she wasn’t being a good mother, and Susan Smith of Union, S.C., who killed her two young sons in October 1994 by sending her car rolling into a lake with the boys strapped in their car seats. Both Yates and Smith are currently serving life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Men on the other hand are more apt to use brutal violence such as in the 2001 case of 45-year-old businessman Robert Mochrie, who bludgeoned his wife and four children to death before hanging himself, and Peter Stafford, 30 who in October 1999, stabbed his wife and three children before hanging himself from a banister in the family home.

 “As in the Caylee Anthony case, the autopsy reports have not yet been released, but when they are, they will clearly reveal additional clues as to who the murderer is, and what their motive was,” said Olmstead.
