Overwhelmingly, serial killers haven't served in the military - only 23.9% did.For male serial killers, the average age they first killed at is 27.5, while for females it's a bit older at 31.Serial killers who have used bombs show, on average, higher IQs, while those who used poison exhibited the lowest. A serial killer with average IQ is also the most likely to strangle or shoot their victims. Although various tests measure IQ, a score of 90 to 110 is usually considered " average" intelligence. The average serial killer has an IQ 94.7.Unfortunately, this living arrangement was the beginning of years of abuse and the young Aileen was sexually abused by her grandfather and raped by his friends.Some other interesting statistics that Aamodt determined: Chilling example: Aileen Wuornos (a prostitute who murdered six clients) was abandoned by her mother just before her fourth birthday and raised by her maternal grandparents.
