Crime Quote by Gary Lequipe
““Murderers can use multiple sites from the moment they capture their victims. However, the main scene is where death occurs. It’s usually where more psychological and physical evidence is found. (...) Modus operandi: It is the killer’s method to carry out their crimes. It describes the techniques and choices they make. This evaluation can reveal psychological characteristics of great importance.””
