Serial Killer Groupies - These are people, again quite commonly women (owing to the large majority of serial killers who are men), who actively follow serial killers, write and communicate with them. Some have gotten engaged while others married inside prison.So why are SKG's attracted to serial killers? Experts have compiled several reasons why, including:1. Rescue fantasy - The Groupie believes that he or she can change the killer with love and understanding.2. Perfect boyfriend/girlfriend - He or she knows where their criminal lover is at all times (in prison). She can love him without being jealous or having to deal with trust issues.3. Nurturing - Most female groupies have said that they see the little boy in these serial killers and that they want to console and nurture them like a mother would do with her son.4. Drama - Many women and men need to have drama in their lives. They get engrossed in the trial of a serial killer, then an infatuation begins which follows sending letters to the killer.5. Hybristophilia - Sexual arousal of those who commit violent crimes.6. Male figure - Several female groupies have acknowledged that they were raised without a father or male figure, abused and neglected, they look to the serial killer to fill that need.7. Self-esteem - Some women have very low self-esteem and believe that they can't find a man. Since these killers are in prison and lonely themselves, those women will target them for attention and a fantasy relationship.8. Attention seeking - The media places the killer in the spotlight and groupies will get involved for the attention themselves.9. Beauty and the Beast Syndrome - They will align themselves with a serial killer to get close to the danger, not enough to get hurt, but enough to feel the fear.
