Bees join hunt for serial killers

This gives a new meaning to "sting operation".

Wasn't this or something similar on an episode of Numb3rs?

Gil Grissom would be utterly fascinated.

Dexter would too, but then again he'd be trying to figure out to not give away to the bees that he's a serial killer who is also a cop

How can you be a serial-killer and a cop? That would be like trying to balance your love of taxidermy with being a member of PETA.

Seriously, law enforcement would find you out sooner or later.

Heather, you know these things:

Is it possible to be a serial killer and a cop (anything is possible after all, but is it likely)? Everyone knows of the less than virtuous and honourable police officers [who are in the minority, contrary to the belief of some], who're criminals in their own right, but a serial killer [rather than a spree killer]?

I could see a police officer that murdered criminals, by making it look like self-defence; to me, this would constitute as a serial killer.

Generally speaking, serial killers aren't likely anywhere, but you know.

I suppose it's possible, but it's not particularly likely in the case that you described. If there are morals involved (ie, the urge to punish the criminals), the officer is not likely to be able to double cross those, as that would make him a criminal as well.

Plus, the setting of a self-defense shooting would eventually become suspicious. Internal Affairs investigates all of those, and the public can get quite rowdy about them as well. It would fall apart sooner or later.

However, cops can certainly be serial killers (just as much as anyone else, at any rate) in other scenarios. There's the retired one here that's suspected of killing two of his wives, possibly more; that would count.

A cop would be the perfect serial killer. A cop has the inside knowledge of investigation tactics and be able to develop measures to counteract these tactics. Plus, in a courtroom, it seems the word of a police officer is treated like the word of God.

The bees knees topic

Holy pollen count! Interesting article, if parallels can be joined between the humble bumble and a serial murderer.

jeffrey dahmer murdered his victims in his own home, as did Ed Gein.And these killer sociopaths collect memorabilia of their deeds in order to relive the event, often found when search warrants are issued, meaning evidence for use in court.

Perhaps some serial killers, like Bundy and the Ripper are more in keeping with what the bee researchers had in mind. I wish them luck.

I am very careful when I take my victim. The event happens at my kitchen table, and I am careful to clean up all crumbs and spilled milk. I can tell you Mr. Charms and Captain Crunch will never be found
