What Makes Serial Killers Tick, Part 2

Herb Mullin
Why did Herbert Mullin slaughter thirteen innocent victims, including children, campers, and a Catholic priest, who was stabbed in his confessional booth on All Souls Day?

Police said Mullin was a whacked-out druggie with 'Legalize Acid' tattooed on his belly. Mullins lawyers argued that he was a deluded, paranoid schizophrenic. And if you asked serial killer Edmund Kemper, who terrorized Santa Cruz in the same time frame, 'Herbie was just a cold-blooded killer . . . killing everyone he saw for no good reason,' he said.

To hear Herb Mullin tell it, he is a hero, a sacrificial scapegoat, who killed his 'consenting' victims to save California from a cataclysmic earthquake. His father, war veteran Martin William Mullin, had telepathically commanded him to murder: 'Go kill somebody -- move!' At least, that's what Herbie said.
