THE main reason people get caught (imo): They know the victim.
I think it was in the late 1920's,early 30s',that a man called Harry "Pittsburg Phil" Strauss worked out that simple fact,and founded a very lucrative business,which came to be known as 'Murder Inc.'.
He murdered 30 people.Doesn't that make him a very successful serial killer? Isn't a psychopath insane by definition?

For perfect murders, I highly recommend the 1949 Ealing black comedy "Kind Hearts And Coronets" , restored and re released this year.

Quote:Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss (July 28, 1909 – June 12, 1941) was a prolific contract killer for Murder, Inc. in the 1930s. He killed over thirty men using a variety of methods; shooting, stabbing with ice picks, drowning, live burial and strangling rope. Strauss never carried a weapon unless he was about to make a hit.
Quote: Strauss tried to avoid conviction by feigning insanity in the courtroom and on death row. He was executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing on June 12, 1941.

Quote:Kind Hearts and Coronets is a 1949 British black comedy feature film. The plot is loosely based on the 1907 novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal by Roy Horniman,[1] with the screenplay written by Robert Hamer and John Dighton and directed by Hamer. The film's title derives from Tennyson's 1842 poem Lady Clara Vere de Vere: "Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood."[2]
The film stars Dennis Price (Louis Mazzini), Alec Guinness (the D'Ascoyne family), Joan Greenwood (Sibella) and Valerie Hobson (Edith).
Kind Hearts and Coronets is listed in Time magazine's top 100,[3] and in the BFI Top 100 British films.[4]
In 2011, the film was digitally restored and re-released in selected British cinemas.[5]
