Which serial killer do you believe can be traced back to by DNA and forensic evidence in the modern day?

As I understand it, there is one I most suspect we'll see breakthroughs on in the next few years, being the I-70 Killer. From his identification at the Terre Haute liquor store murder in 2001 to casings found at each of his killings, a quarter of a century is not that strained of a stretch to assume preserved DNA evidence won't link together with an analysis of familial DNA as was the case for the Golden State Killer, Joseph James DeAngelo.

One I believe we may never know about is the Zodiac. 25 to 30 years is feasible in the case of the I-70 Killer, but the Zodiac has spent 58 years since his last confirmed murder in 1969 in relative silence from the many he committed in the 60s. If there is something led up to in the case after a half-century of speculation, it would end at a grave. At the least, that would be closure for the case.

[WP] "The gods do not exist." Why, yes, they do. "They do not." Yes, they do. I have personal relationships with them. "How so? Spiritual connections can be assumed for anything, and—" I'm sorry, spiritual? No. The goddess of the harvest still owes me a twenty. I'm the forge god's penpal. That sort.

[WP] Skin white as snow, paled from the lack of sun. Hair dark as ebony, stricken off the head from the defilement of the natural order. Lips red as a rose, sunken and dried from the blood of her victims. This realization destroys your perception for the fairest in the land. Snow White is a vampire.

[WP] Prayers and dreams have been answered every time, yes. The multiverse opens up to them and grants each for an equivalent version of yourself or your reality. Other versions send dreams and prayers for you, too. But the most commonly delivered wish… is when somebody angrily wishes another death.

[WP] Through cameras flashing as you step out to get to the meeting, there seems to be something unusual in the crowd. Your security detail can't get to you quick enough. Three men ready their aim, one at a time after the other… and pies slap against your face. You're Bill Gates, and you are PISSED.

Kermit Gosnell is a convicted serial killer, but would he be one of the most prolific considering his work?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell

These are not all embryos or pregnancies terminated, there are birthed and living babies who were systematically killed against the law either by his hand, or under his orders.

His clinic which worked for 30 years providing illegal abortions in the West Philadelphia area, many of which had killed the babies after they were born by induced labor, must have him down as one of the most prolific. Am I wrong to believe so? That only the three babies and the mother he killed, which he was charged and convicted for, would simply give him the legal recognition of being a serial killer?

[WP] Your crew steals a bank's riches by air, and the boss chortles at the dispatched heroes. "He's not strong enough, but he can fly. She can take us all on, and she can't fly! The irony writes itself." While the boss walks away gloating, you watch in horror as the hero hoists her up and takes off.

From the present killers in the original series, who would you elect for their own season's arc?

My personal pick would be the Skinner, George King.

It would serve a couple initial purposes, to allow Miguel Prado more screen-time as the mainstay antagonist of Season 3, and to give Jorge Orozco footing as a credible threat. Set into Season 3 as a secondary antagonist when he has the makings of a Season 3B (4?) mainstay is also the chance to have Dexter settle into a more homely life at the end of the original Season 3, to give him additional time with Rita [>!before the original Season 4 took that away.!]

Jorge's skill as a Nicaraguan Contra in torture and interrogation being showcased more prevalently would show him as an injection of experience to the episodic, usually impulsive killers throughout the series. Ruthless, yet not helplessly violent, like Brian Moser was as the Ice Truck Killer, or Isaak Sirko in Season 7. Also, fleshing him out serves the audience a look, whether accurate or dramatized, into the effects of military background on a potential killer's life, like service was for Sergeant James Doakes to his own country.

There is already groundwork for him, and his arc could mirror Dr. Danco's from the Dexter novels as a source of inspiration for expanded characterization and motive.

Taken to a fantasy world before their Industrial Revolution equivalent, you've forged the first burger joint anyone here has ever seen.

[WP] We have a psychic on the team. The hard part is no longer finding who is guilty. "That's great! You mean they're really a psychic, telepathy and all?" Yes, we have the investigation side out of the equation. Now, the hard part is proving guilt in court while hiding how we've employed a psychic.

[WP] Monsters under the bed are real but they aren't always out to get you. Most see it as a habitat, assigned to any and all under-regions of beds. You see one today under a tree and they signal you to remain quiet. They point up to the pigeon asleep in its nest, over their head, with a soft smile.
