A mass murderer and a serial killer are two different types of killers. A mass murderer goes on a rampage that will last until he or she is caught, with no real pattern to his or her madness. A serial killer is harder to catch, because this kind of killer will play a sort of macabre chess game with the police. A serial killer uses his or her psychopathological senses to outsmart the police, and on average, this type of killer can be loose for up to four years. A serial killer will have a pattern, not always obvious to the police at first but this type of killer usually wants to leave a calling card so he or she can continue playing this cat and mouse game with the police.
Gary Amaya, 48, from Rankin, fits the profile of a mass murderer, although as this story unfolds, this might change. Police say that Amaya had no previous police record, and on Saturday, Amaya entered a tanning parlor and attempted an armed robbery, only to be subdued by a customer, Jason McDaniel, who struggled and grabbed the gun from Amaya, shooting him fatally. Now police after conducting their investigation and searching Amaya’s home are convinced that he is the same guy whom in October, randomly shot and killed Rolando Alonso, 45, and wounded Josh Garza, 19, who were working on a house near Beecher, IL. Police believe that Amaya then later that day shot a farmer in Lowell, Ind. The Will County sheriff’s police arrested a Lynwood police officer thinking that he was the so call “honeybee” killer. This moniker was given to the killer after one of the shooting victims stated that a man mumbling about honeybees shot him. The police office was released without charging after his alibi panned out.
