Seriemoordenaars beginnen vaak met een paar vrij willekeurige moorden. Gaandeweg zoeken ze uit aan welke rituelen ze het meeste plezier beleven. Daarna stalken ze hun zorgvuldig uitgekozen slachtoffers of gaan ze ernaar op zoek speciale plekken, waar bijvoorbeeld prostituees of kinderen komen. Elke seriemoordenaar heeft zijn eigen unieke methoden en routines: hij pikt zijn slachtoffers bijvoorbeeld op bij bushaltes, kiest voor vrouwen met lang blond haar, bewaart trofeeën of snijdt zijn slachtoffers in stukken en eet ze op. Die signatuur kan leiden tot een aanhouding.
