![]() ![]() As the years pass, the future killer’s reliance on fantasy only increases. And crime scenes tend to echo elements of the fantasy in such things as the condition of the body, the body’s state of dress and position, and the visibility of the disposal local (Ressler, 1988). The murder, as a whole, is an integral part of the serial killer’s sexual fantasy (Brown, 1991). Even among the serial killers who had little or no conscious plans of murder, there is still a great deal of evidence in their belief structures for unconscious fantasy (Ressler, 1988). Within the murder, there are many reflections of fantasy. And just as in addiction, their ambivalent views toward societal values encourage them to try a proscribed behavior, in this murdercase. Their early-learned view that violence against other humans is a “normal” and “acceptable” (Holmes & De Burger, 1988) way of getting what they want serves to virtually encourage murder. The killer is not only pushed to kill by their thought patterns (Ressler, 1988), but is essentially incited to murder by an intrusive fantasy life (Burgess, 1991). Fantasy is the driving element in the serial killer’s life, and as a result plays an integral role in the murder itself.
