Beam talks about some of the more famous killers and why the media found them so interesting and then explains how the number of serial killers has decreased since the media changed its fasinations from serial killers to terrorism. The main point that Beam is trying to make is that the population is only interested in what 's "trending".

Chase killed his victims in a quite disturbing and inhumane way. His first victim was a 51-year-old, father of two, named Ambrose Griffin. Chase killed his victim in a drive-by shooting in front of his house while helping his wife with groceries. He would then attempt to enter a woman’s house two weeks later, but her doors were locked, causing Chase to walk away.

Another article covering the case from The New York Times used similar language to make the killer seem worse. In the article, “Woman Found in Los Angeles Lot, 11th Apparent Victim of Strangling”, the killer is proclaimed to “prey on girls and young women” (Associated Press, “Woman Found in Los Angeles Lot, 11th Apparent Victim of Strangling”). ‘Preying’ has a certain association that comes with it, such as that the killer is an animal.

The article also suggested a category of people who were most likely to be victimized: those from the “street scene” (Associated Press, “Woman Found in Los Angeles Lot, 11th Apparent Victim of Strangling”).
