The Collins Family

The Collins Family was a family who worked together in the murders of several prostitutes, with the son, Jeffrey, killing them and the parents, Donald and Linda, disposing of the bodies.

History
See Jeffrey, Donald, and Linda Collins's pages

Modus Operandi
Donald would get Jeffrey potential victims by parking his van in the loading zones of places prostitutes frequent. After he is approached by a prostitute, Donald would pay them $250 to attend to Jeffrey, to which they would accept. Jeffrey would then have sex with them, but due to his paraplegic state, there are no signs of sexual activity. Enraged by this, Jeffrey would them stab the women to death as they leave. After he is finished, Donald and Linda would dispose of the bodies in parks, with the former posing them remorsefully.

Profile
The family was initially profiled as a two-person killing team consisting of a dominant and a submissive partner. Both would be two white males in their late-twenties to early-thirties. The dominant, who commits overkill on the victims, is most likely impotent or experimenting with other forms of sexual release, as there are no signs of sexual assault in the victims. Since he is inducing pain and creating terror without a sexual element in the kills, therefore providing him with stimulation and excitement, the dominant is probably committing what is called "thrill kills". Like any narcotic, the violence of the kills leaves satisfaction on him, but it eventually fades, explaining the nearly-nonexistent cooling-off periods. The submissive, who is remorseful, follows the dominant's rules, knows his type of victimology well, obtains the victims, and disposes of their bodies once the dominant is done. The ongoing investigation does not stop the unsubs from continuing to kill, and the risk of getting caught still doesn't trump their need.
