I highly doubt that he stopped killing in 2011. There have to be more victims.

Considering his psychopathy and the compulsion any Serial killer has, he has been killing for far longer than expected, and he would never stop, so no way that he only killed 8.

He deserves to feel hopeless. Psychopaths don’t feel empathy but they can feel hopeless. He deserves hopelessness. Prayers to the victims’ families. ❤

You know, describing a serial killer as smart or a genius is a complete disgrace to the victims , you’re giving him too much credit . He’s a coward .
