"The way bumblebees search for food could help detectives hunt down serial killers
- because just as bees forage some distance away from their hives, so murderers avoid killing near their homes, says a University of London research team. The
researchers' analysis describes how bees create a 'buffer zone' around their hive where they will not forage, to reduce the risk of predators and
parasites locating the nest. This behavior pattern is similar to the geographic profile of criminals stalking their victims. 'Most murders happen close to
the killer's home, but not in the area directly surrounding a criminal's house, where crimes are less likely to be committed because of the fear of
getting caught by someone they know,' says Dr. Nigel Raine. Criminologists will fold this insight into their models using details about crime scenes,
robbery locations, abandoned cars, even dead bodies, to hone the search for a suspect."

Its different than what I thought too. Interesting read though. With Son of Sam, I think it was just his neighbor's dog, the one that kept talking to him..... |
