Yuka Takaoka: A Speculative and Statistical Analysis

Introduction

Yuka Takaoka, a twenty-three-year-old Japanese woman, was arrested for attempting to murder her boyfriend with a kitchen knife on May 23rd, 2019, after she was allegedly exposed to photos of him being intimate with another woman. Stating afterward, “since I loved him so much, I just couldn’t help it”.

Speculation, Comparisons to Other Killers, Statistical Traits The motivation behind Takaoka's assault remains unclear; the only motivation surrounding the "love" she felt for him. A psychological complex common in serial killers is one of gaining control via owning the corpse of the victim. Jeffery Dahmer, an American serial killer who often dismembered and tested upon his young male victims, claimed he murdered his victims due to the fact that he believed owning his victim's bodies placed him in complete control over them, thus fulfilling a sexual fetish.

Jeffrey Dahmer claimed that killing was "the least satisfactory part... No, the killing was not the objective. I just wanted to have the person under my complete control, not having to consider their wishes, being able to keep them there as long as I wanted". Takaoka shared similar sentiments, “I thought I would kill him because I thought that was how I could be with him. I thought that expressions such as ‘I like you’ and ‘I would like to be with you’ would become a reality if [we both] die" before stating "After killing [him], I, too, wanted to die”. It seems that Takaoka's sole motive wasn't necessarily the thrill of killing her boyfriend, but rather the means to an end surrounding fulfilling the gratification of a sexual and romantic fetish surrounding complete control. The victim being a romantic partner already establishes that the perpetrator most likely felt some sort of physical attraction to the victim, strengthening the hypothesis. It is possible that the obsession was further activated by the photographs taken of the victim and the anonymous woman, which struck the perpetrator's obsession with "ownership" over the victim.

When looking more specifically at statistical analyses, it seems Takaoka does not fit the stereotypical profile of a female murderer or serial killer. Though Takaoka did know her victim, both common traits in female killers, Takaoko's motivation was not material, she waited for authorities to place her into custody, the victim was not elderly nor adolescent, nor did Takaoka kill due to physical aggression from an intimate partner.

Outro

The case of Yuka Takaoka, though tragic, highlights an important point surrounding the predictable link between killing and the need for dominance. It will most likely go down in history as one of the strangest cases of attempted murder of all time.

Jack the Ripper: A Statistical and Typological Analysis

Introduction

Jack the Ripper was an uncaught British serial killer who operated in London from August of 1888 to November of the same year. He has five canonical victims, all of which were prostitutes. The confirmed victims include Mary Ann Nichols (31st of August), Annie Chapman (8th of September), Elizabeth Stride (30th of September), Catherine Eddowes (30th of September) and Mary Jane Kelly (9th of November).

Typology of Jack the Ripper

Serial killers can usually be organized into six typologies each with their own unique incentive, ideas, thoughts and methods of killing. The varieties of these types are the organized killer and disorganized killer and the main types are the visionary killer, the mission-oriented killer, the hedonistic killer (thrill, lust and comfort) and the power-oriented killer.

Though the killing of prostitutes may suggest a mission-oriented motive, the letters loosely suggest a thrill variety hedonistic killer (he gained obvious enjoyment of taunting of the police and the "Dear Boss" letter had a generally jovial or humorous attitude) and crime scene characteristics match the lust variety (controlled crime scene, overkill, specific victim and body mutilation after death).

The organized vs. disorganized concept is another system of criminal typology that uses crime scene analysis. Using this system we can use conjecture to determine certain personality traits (organized killers might have a higher IQ, for example). I’ll use this rating system to figure out his orientation on the O/U scale:

-Victim known: 0

-Stranger targeted: 1

-Poisoned: 0

-Chaotic scene: 0

-Controlled scene: 1

-Weapon planned: 1

-Weapon left: 0

-Body transported: 0

-Act focused: 1

The answers to this checklist suggest an organized typology by a minor amount. Though the closeness of results his organization and calmness during the course the crime suggests the result is accurate.

For personality factors we can use the OCEAN model:

-Openness: Moderate to high. Somewhat open and creative. He named himself and was one of the first serial killers to send letters. -Consciousness: Unknown. Likely moderate to low. He was organized during the course of the murders. -Extraversion: Unknown. Likely low. Considering the statistical likelihood of feelings of loneliness he'd likely have low social adequacy and social introversion. -Agreeableness: Low. Uncooperative and hostile. Partakes in crime behavior, taunting police and murder. -Neuroticism: Mid to low. Calm and unemotional. Was able to calmly avoid police and surgically remove body parts of victims precisely without anxious slip-ups.

An extra cluster will be included in the next section not discussed here. Specifically statistical analysis of prostitute homocides.

Speculation, Comparisons to Other Killers, Statistical Traits

We know that the Zodiac Killer could be profiled into both the visionary and hedonistic category based off motivation. However, what could possibly be the cause for these behaviors and what could be gleaned from these classifications?

From statistical analysis of prostitute murderers and the earlier typological analysis it's most likely he had these traits :

1. Poor academic record. [Statistics]

2. Average to high intelligence. [Statistics]

3. Highly lost in thought or a daydreamer. [Statistics]

4. Unsteady employment and holds low-level jobs. Though he was most likely employed at the time of the murders due to most of his killings taking place on weekends or holidays. [Statistics & Conjecture]

5. Chronic feelings of isolation or loneliness. [Statistics]

6. Was in his early thirties. This indicates a most likely correct witness description of Jack. [Statistics]

7. Even if he had poor academic performance he was most likely educated considering the use of a paragraph indent and correct spelling in the "Dear Boss" letter. This supports the idea has had parents with stable work. [Conjecture]

8. Has a controlled mood in general or during the crime. [Typology]

9. Follows the crime in news media. [Typology]

10. Parent's work was generally stable. [Typology]

11. If he was a lust killer he most likely gained sexual gratification from murder, killed strangers, planned the murders and was highly organized. [Typology]

12. If he was a thrill killer he likely enjoyed of the thrill of killing itself, killed strangers, created processes for murder and was highly organized. [Typology]

13. Uncooperative, calm affect, introverted, moderately hardworking/organized and somewhat creative. [OCEAN]

Outro

Even over one-hundred and thirty-three years later Jack the Ripper is still one of the most discussed Serial Killers in history. The shadowy moustached figure stalking the misty streets of London's name will most likely always be Jack, however, even now we can possibly still shed some light on who was behind the name Sources:

Which Zodiac Sign is Actually Most Likely to be a Serial Killer?

-Statistic-

Based on a review of 400 criminal profiles the conclusion can be reached that Scorpio is the most common star sign among serial killers, murderers, mass murderers, etc. Roughly around 10.75% of the serial killers viewed were Scorpios, followed then closely by Gemini and Capricorn. Virgo was the least likely with only 5% of the serial killers viewed being born from August 23rd to September 22nd. Interestingly, two of the serial killers viewed had the combination of a Sun in Pisces, Moon in Pisces and Ascendant in Saggitarius. This contradicts the popular belief that Sagittarius and Virgo are the most common among Serial Killers, I'd assume that this is because the most famous Serial Killers are usually either one of those signs.

This is a ranking of how common it is for a killer to be each sign:

1. Scorpio 10.75%

2. Gemini 10.25%

3. Capricorn 9.75%

4. Aries 9.25%

5. Aquarius 9.25%

6. Sagittarius 9%

7. Pisces 8.5%

8. Taurus 8.25%

9. Libra 7.75%

10. Leo 6.75%

11. Cancer 5.5%

12. Virgo 5% (Note: The number doesn't go exactly into 100% for some reason so just pretend)

Audio of Zodiac killer suspect Richard Gaikowski whose voice was identified as the same as the Zodiac's by police dispatcher Nancy Slover. His voice was so similar she went as far to say "it's the same guy". https://www.zodiackiller.com/SuspectGaikowski.html

Socrates: Does cumming in a man's ass make you homosexual? Some dude: Yes Socrates: If that's true then does jacking off make you handsexual?
