Obviously you know this, but they make serial killers in literature and films complex and - if not disconcertingly likable - interesting; give them elaborate "origin stories" that lead up to their infamous behavior. And, outside of fiction, serial killers are typically just dysfunctional fuck wads who, I suppose, start with things like offing cats and putting them in bags.

In my younger days I read quite a great deal about this sort of stuff, and some killers certainly came from horrifically abusive backgrounds that obviously *helped* shaped them into what they are, but it's not uncommon to find one that for lack of a better description, was born a killer.

Either way, still fucked up.
