They say that serial killers begin their begin their horrific careers by practicing on small animals.  The torture and mutilation of small animals, for no apparent reason, are said to be markers for those who go onto bigger and better prey.  If only the authorities had nailed these sociopaths when when they were killing cats and dogs, life might have been a little less grotesque.  Police near Miami aren't sure they have a budding serial killer in custody but they are sure they do have someone responsible for torturing, mutilating and killing up to two dozen cats.

The body count for serial killers is impressive. Ted Bundy is believed responsible for 35 victims. John Wayne Gacy ran up a total of 33 victims. Gary Ridgway eventually pleaded guilty to 48 murders. A couple of things connect these prolific killers: an outward appearance of normality and they managed to accomplish much of their work before anyone suspected there was a serial murderer at work. Now, there's the possibility of another monster quietly and efficiently killing as many as 40 victims thus far.
