Kibbe, chased down, was taken into custody. Once outside, Guffie saw the headlights of a car heading her way-and it was the Sacramento police. She fought him off for a few moments more until, tiring of the tussle perhaps, Kibbe unlocked the door and pushed Guffie outside. Just about anger, and hate, and everything in life that had just beat me down, all my life, and everyone I loved, in that second.” “And then I started fighting…it was all about the fight then.
She said to him, “please, I will do anything you say.” While struggling for her life, Guffie had the idea to act meek. After raping and strangling the women to death, he would cut up their clothing in strange shapes, which became known as his "mark." The I-5 Strangler killed at least six women that he picked up on the highway - women engaging in sex work or looking for roadside assistance. He shouted: “’S**t, don’t struggle, and you won’t get hurt.’” “I said ‘nooooo!’ and turned my arm back so fast that he lost the grip,” said Guffie, remembering how Kibbe then grabbed the back of her head and slammed her on the console. “As soon as he grabbed my arm, I knew I was in trouble,” she said in the latest episode of “Mark of a Killer.” “Serious trouble.” When he parked the car, Guffie recalls him locking the door as well. He grabbed her arm.
He told her they would go across the I-5 to the Auburn Golf Course. She was picked up by a “very distinguished looking” mid-50s man in a white sports car. On September 14, 1987, 29-year-old Debra Guffie was “down on her luck,” as she puts it, and doing sex work. But one woman survived to tell her story.

After reviewing the evidence, it is reasonable to suggest that there is not one singular cause of serial killing, rather a variety of social, biological and cognitive factors and that can cause someone to be susceptible or expedite the process of becoming a serial killer.I-5 Strangler Roger Kibbe, a subject of “ Mark of a Killer” on Oxygen, terrorized and murdered young women along the California highway in the late '70s and '80s. Lastly, personality disorders are explored in relation to social, biological and cognitive psychology and how they link to serial killing.
Cognitive psychology explores how brain dysfunctions can lead to serial murder, with emphasis on head injury causing frontal lobe damage. Biological psychology explores the nature side of the debate, with emphasis on chromosomal abnormalities, a biological predisposition for crime and other biological functions. Social psychology explores the nurture side of the ‘nature vs nurture’ debate, with emphasis on childhood trauma, re-enactment and self-evaluation. Definitional problems with defining serial murder has led to confusion when classifying murder and therefore its causes. Serial murderer is classified as the murder of 3 or more victims by the same offender, over multiple locations with the presence of a cooling off period (Ressler et al, 1988).
A plethora of literature and various case studies of incarcerated serial killers have been used to support or debunk the theories explored. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to look into potential causes of serial killing, with emphasis on social, biological and cognitive psychology. Although serial killing was only defined in 1988, there is still more research to be conducted into the causes of this phenomena.
