KILLERS, from page 1
pability of killing, we all do; but
not everybody has the capacity.*'
There is a myriad of different
types of serial killers, from Gacy
dressed up as a clown killing little
boys in his basement to Richard
Ramirez The Night-stalker' shoot¬
ing people to death to Ed Gein and
• Dahmer who practiced cannibalism.
"There are similar varieties of
serial kiDers, their motivations are
basically the same but every case is
unique," Hickey said. ''Ramirez
enjoyed shooting his victims. A lot
of serial killers like to have close
contact where they are using a knife.
Most do not use guns [but] like to
loll their victims with things that
will make them die more slowly.'*
Ed Kemper, who is serving a
life sentence at Vacaville for cut-
tug off the bead of bis mother and
humiliating her corpse, killed and
mutilated two Fresno State students,
Anita Luchesa and Mary Ann Pesos
on May 7,1972 in Berkeley.
"We've always had serial kill¬
ers," Hickey said. Tve traced se¬
rial killers in my book back to the
1700'sandfemaleserial killers back
to 1821. It's just with the advent of
technology, increase in population
and American culture it's new easy
for us to get involved with it."
The serial killer infatuation has
opened a new bizarre door for
people to gain 15 minutes of fame.
Many killers are exaggerating their
numbers of victims to gain fame
notoriety like Henry Lee Lucas
'The [killers] «get off on it,"
Hickey said. 'They enjoy the hor¬
ror reaction of the public."
Serial Killers are fulfilling their
fantasies.
"All of this is based on fantasy,"
Hickey said. "When the victim
doesn't die like they want them to
die it doesn't fulfill their fantasy.
The more it fulfills their fantasies.
It
who fabricated a tale of killing 600    the less likely they are to kill in the
out-^near future.
people in 20 states. The more out¬
rageous and hideous the killing, the
more popular the killer becomes.
"But then time goes by and they
get depressed, lose their job, feel
badly about themselves and they
get back into the fantasy, more vio¬
lent fantasies, and they go out and
they actualize these fantasies and
they get better at it"
John Wayne Gacy is scheduled
to die by lethal injection in May at
the height of this serial killer ex¬
ploitation. But there are already
people like the Green River Killer
who are setting out to dethrone him
and gain the notoriety of serial-
killer fame.

WASHINGTON - When Brian
Kamoie finishes his first year of law
school at George Washington Uni¬

lished book under his belt

Kamoie is co-author of
"Deathright: Culture, Medicine,
Politics and the Right to Die" along
with James Hoefler, professor of
political science at Dickinson Col¬
lege. The book, due to be released in
April, is considered by legal and social
experts to be the first comprehensive
survey of right-to-die issues.
Kamoie credits a unique mentor
relationship with Hoefler as the spark
to his interest in medical and legal
issues. "Professor Hoefler was an
ideal mentor," Kamoie said. "His
willingness to take me on as a part¬
ner and his openness to my ideas
inspired me and gave me confi¬
dence in my work."
One issue that stood out in the
research for the book was the gap
that existed between existing legis¬
lation and what the families and
terminally ill patients really needed,
he said.
