How does a Serial Killer's Wife Not Know?

Questions from a physcologists perspective:

1.How does one finish a day of killing and come home to a loving wife?

2.Would the killer feel guilty about lying to his wife?

3.How is it possible to lead a double life without the woman your living with knowing?

4.After finding out your husband was a killer, could the wives still love them?

How do serial killer's wife not know?

It is said that most serial killers are your average person and that there really is know way to describe what a serial killer looks like. Well in this case that statement is very true. Williams who worked as head of an air force base was happily married and was claimed to be a kind and thoughtful husband. People are asking how is it possible that William's wife not know about his fetish break in's? Phycologists say why would a wife know. Serial killers tend to lead a double life keeping it a secret from their love ones. Even if there is suspicous behavoir it is to much to suspect that the person your living with is a killer. For example John Wayne Gacey would invite boys to his home and proceed to murder them and burry the boys in the basement. Gacey would do this every weekend because his wife would leave to visit family and friends. She never discovered his secret hobbie and carried on clueless and naive. Gary Ridgeway killed four woman while married to Judith Mawson and she had no clue. Ridgeway was said to be the perfect husband treating Judith like he was a coompletely different person. Wifes are way to in love to suspect that their spouse could be doing something so disturbing.

Russell Williams Trail

Russell Williams murdered 2 women: Marie-France Comeau and Jessica Elizabeth Lloyd. Before he became a murderer, Russell started out with simple breaking and entering and escalated to stealing women's, especially young women's, underwear. Russell Williams wouldn't just steal them though he would wear them, taking hundreds of photos of himself lying on their beds wearing and being surrounded by their underwear and bras whilst touching himself. Williams then began to break into peoples homes while they were in them and would stay in their homes for up to 2 hours. Williams started out with crazy fetishes, and rape, then he evolved to murder. Williams broke into Marie Comeau's home beat her and then asphyxiated her while video taping the whole thing. Then he kidnapped Jessica Llyod took her to her cottage and made sex tapes of her, but that was not all, he also raped and tortured her for a day before dumping her body in a field. Russell was tried and pled guilty. Williams who worked at a military base is now going through a month long process of being stripped of his military rights.


My Questions from a Psychologist's perspective:


1: What is his mental state?

2: Did he his authority over Comeau help him to murder her?

3: Did he have problems as a child?

4: Has he been violent before?

Dream question

I read in the questions that some people thought that they don't have dreams, which actually isn't true. I've read everyone has at least 5 dreams per night they just don't remember them.

The Bystander Effect - Shopping Experiment

Here is an additional video about the racism and the bystander effect

An example of the bystander effect

The bystander effect is when people who are aware of something taking place, but dont do anything because they are either affraid, think someone else will deal with it, or just are ashamed to help in front of so many people. It is proven that if you are wioth someone who you trust, then you are more likely to do something about the situation., but if you are with just an aquaintance you are more likely not to do anything because you are ashamed and dont want to get involved. The more people there are around, the less of a chance you will do something.
