As Far As Fitting The Stereotypes Bestowed To Infamous Chain-Link Murderers That Exist Outside African American Culture There Was A Time When Black Serial Killers Were Recognized To Some Extent Implausible By Purported Experts Who Probably Cared Not To Explore The Primary Nature Of The Slayers' Transgressions.

The Handyman'S Grisly Method Of Murder Left Detectives And Medical Examiners Mystified. The Identification Process Of His Victims' Remains Was Distinctly A Laborious Assignment Too.
