Most of Netflix’s psychological thrillers are the best examples of our obsession with serial killers. Why is our generation so obsessed with psychopaths and homicides? This is relatively due to the human tendency to plan, face risky situations, and find solutions. The series allows us to do it all without actually experiencing the trauma of it all. Could this obsession, however, be the cause of the increased number of serial killers? We have no answers for that but surely have one more serial killer to bring out serotonin for all the thrill lovers.

The time for the second and third attacks was 448 days. From the third to the fourth, 34 days passed. The fifth attack and sixth attacks have a gap of 22 days. The sixth from the sixth, which was the last attack, the seventh can be predicted to be six days later, which is supposed to be October 3 or after.
Was Wesley Brownlee’s target-specific?
Wesley’s targets showed nothing specific in common, five victims were Hispanic, and four victims were homeless. Gender didn’t seem to factor in, as both genders were targeted. Rather than target-specific, Wesley seemed time-specific, which eventually helped the police to catch him.
