Just saw the movie "Zodiac" and it got me thinking... how many serial killers might still be active world wide?
Are citizens less aware of them because officials have stopped giving information to the press?
It seems like the news does not cover these things with nearly as much sensationalism as they used to....
It also seems that if someone kills a few people - it's not considered very newsworthy a month later...
Are we blind to these murders or are they just not happening anymore?

Dude, watch more court TV.
Cops keep evidence close to their vest as it were so that they can use that later to catch the bad guys.
Serial killers have a profile that is about 70% accurate so no they/we don't know enough

Every serial killer is different. We can never learn enough from case histories to prevent all the future killings. However, you don't see as many on the news anymore because we as a society are better at reading the some of the warning signs before most go off the deep end.

No, knowledge is an ongoing thing. You learn new stuff all the time.
