Why were there so many serial killers in the 1970s-80s? What caused the decline in serial killers?

In Cleveland we had Anthony Sowell catching bodies left and right, and Ariel Castro holding people for years. So folks definitely can still get away with it.

Tech. Can't rack up bodies like Sammy the Bull or that Black guy who may have killed 100 women over a course of decades. You'll get caught sooner than you think especially with the proliferation of cameras and cell phones the latter of which can ping your location at any given time.
Sammy the Bull isn't a serial killer though

Technology has made it massively difficult to be a successful serial killer nowadays. You'd have to move like a ghost with no phone, a car without gps, access to multiple vehicles. Any body would have to disappear which would lessen the chance of a dna link, you would have to burn the body, bury it, feed it animals etc. Then you would be lucky to not get picked up on a random street camera picking up the victim. You would need to know the location of a surveillance cameras in the area. Its simply too much work.

The dumbest serial killer to get caught had to be the BTK killer. Dude sent a floppy disk that had metadata on it to the police. They used that to track him to the church he was president of :why:. Send the police digital communications brehs
