What Is ECAP?

On Feb. 21, 2004 the FBI began the Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP). ECAP was created to help find and convict people involved with the act of sexual assault on a child and or the production of child pornography. This is a collaborative effort between the FBI and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The people on this list the John/Jane Does are images of the pedophiles that was taken from child pornography. Finding the identities of these people will help save their victims and prevent them from continuing their sick acts.

What are Serial Killers?



A Serial Killer is a person who commits a series murders of at least two people and or two separate murders over a period of time ranging from hours to years. The definition for serial killers have changed over the years. As it used to be defined by the FBI as four different events separated by a cooling-off period. By the 90's it was lowered to 3, but thus did still exclude those who were caught before continue murdering.

Serial killers aren't a new thing, they've been around since the beginning of time. It's a popular topic among law enforcement, mental health experts, academia, and the general public. It's also been the subject of many shows, movies, books and stories. Many people don't even realize that serial murders take up only 1 percent of  all homicides. Currently there are 35 active serial killers at any given time in the U.S.

There are many myths that come with serial killers.

Serial Killers are loners and a weird.

 In reality many serial killers are not loners. Most of them don't appear to be reclusive or to be misfits in their public lives. Some might even seem completely normal and are able to hide in plain site in their communities. They seem so put together that they are often overlooked by Law Enforcement.

For example BTK, or Dennis Rader, was married with two children. He was a boy scout leader, served the U.S. Air Fore, was employed as a local government employee, and was the president of the church. No one had suspected that he had killed 10 victims and sent 16 taunting letters to the news media in a 30 year span in Wichita, Kansas until he was caught.

All Serial Killers are white males.

 This is not true as serial killers are of all races and sexes. The diversity of serial killers correlates to the races of population. Women are not immune from being serial killers either. 52. 21% of Serial killers are White, 40.3% are Black, 6.1% are Hispanic, 0.7% is Asian, and 0.8% is Native American. 90.8% are men and 9.2% are women.

Charles Ng is an Asian serial killer and was a native of Hong Kong, China before becoming a serial killer in Northern California with Robert Lake.

Derrik Todd Lee is an African American male who killed at least 6 women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Rory Conde,a Colombian native was a Hispanic serial killer who killed 6 prostitutes in Miami, Florida.

Nannie Doss was a female serial killer who poisoned 11 people between the 1920's to 1954.

Serial Killers are only motivated by sex.

 This is a big reason for 46. 11% (including thrill, lust and power) of serial killers, but there are other motives. 31.68% did it for financial gain, 8.12% did it for multiple reasons, 7.84% did it out of anger, 3.28% did it for a criminal enterprise, 1.21% did it to avoid arrest, .62% did it for attention, .73% did it for convenience, .41% did it due to a hallucination, and .21% did it due to a Cult.

Amy Archer- Gilligan killed many of her boarders after they named her  in their life insurance. Between 1911 to 1916 she killed at least 48 people.

Serial Killers travel and operate on interstate. 

Serial killers have defined comfort areas that they kill within or at. Once in while they will kill outside of their comfort zone after they built their confidence. Many of them do not include them traveling on interstate to kill.

All Serial Killers are insane and or evil geniuses. 
This is a common misconception as many of them do have personality disorders, but are not considered insane. The intelectual levels of serial killers also vary from below average to above average levels.

 Serial Killers want to get caught.

 Serial killers committing their first crime/murder are inexperienced and then learn to develop their skills and get better at not being caught. It isn't until they get too confident that it is their down fall. As in they begin taking short cuts and or have the mind set that they won't get caught.

Who are The Men In Black?


You are probably more familiar with the Movie series Men In Black about an undercover organization who makes sure alien's aren't known to the human population. In reality the movie is based off the legend of the Men In Black (MIB) and that they've been around for decades.

The Men in Black are dressed in black suits and confront those who claim to witness alien activity. According to Ufologist the purpose of the Men In Black is to try to keep witnesses of alien activity to stay silent. This some times includes the threat of harm. There is no evidence of harm ever happening.

The first encounter with the Men In Black happened in the summer of 1947. A private pilot, Kenneth Arnold spotted 9 shiney discs in the sky. Afterwards other people claimed to have seen something similar all over the world. That same summer, Harold Dahl witnessed UFO's around Tacoma Washington. A man dressed in a dark suit confronted him and told him if he disclosed what he saw that harm would come to him. Dahl's sighting is now known as "The Island Mystery."

This sighting would not be the last of the Men In Black as in the 50's a large number of witnesses claimed to have met them. The thing that is most common about these men is that they arrived in new cars, not exclusively black, with unofficial plate numbers. The Men would always be dressed in a black or  dark suit and black Homburg hat. It was believed that they were part of a government organization.

Some even claim that the MIB had telekinetic powers. The powers include knowing when someone in lying to them and they knew a lot of personal information that they shouldn't. Some described it that it seemed as if they were impersonating human beings.

There has been a decline in the reports of Men In Black.

What is Filicide?

Filicide is the term used for parent's who murder their own children or step children. The children can be from any age from newborns to adults.. According to a U.S.  study done in 2014 based on 32 years of data there are at least 500 filicide instances in a single year. according to this study at least 50 of the cases of filicide from the last five years were on the disabled. Within the last three decades the act of filicide has decreased since the 90's and did not increase with population increase.

A majority of filicide has children 6 and under fill up 72% of filicides. 10% were between 7 and 18 and 18% were on Adult children. 1/3 of all the deaths were of infants who were less than a year old.It was found that during times of higher economic stress that there are more cases of filicides (infanticide) involving infants.

A father killing their son is more possible (29.5%) than a mother killing her son (22.1%) In the cases involving daughters a mother will more than likely kill her (19.7%) than a father (18.2%). The rarest cases are with step mothers killing their step son (.5%) or step daughter (.3%).

Parents were more than likely to use their hand when murdering their child. Some examples are forced drowning, beating and or choking which is the case with 69% of infanticide. As the victim gets older weapons like guns are used which is the case with 72.3% of adult victims. Contact weapons like bats and edged weapons like knives were less likely used. Men were more than likely to use a gun than women. Stepparents are more than likely to use guns (40%)  than biological parents (21%).

Many parent's kill their children for many reasons. Some kill their children due to their child's disability, and some do it because the child was unwanted. Some even kill their children and themselves. There are just so many reasons as each case has is different.
