No, I actually had to check these before giving you an answer. The pathology does not apply when specific victims are targeted. For example, Foyet killed any couples he came across on the road (basing that answer on the opening scene of Omnivore). He didn't stalk or learn anything about his victims beforehand. He only did that later.

It's my understanding that Schrader killed victims for specific reasons (e.g. the accomplice that sold him out or another who he paid to watch his hostages. She was killed to cover his tracks.) Now the hitmen are certainly not omnivores because THEY didn't pick their victims. Their clients did. Although the likes of Cat Adams may have twisted the dynamic for her own benefit, her victim selection was very specific: men willing to pay to have their wives killed so she can't be classed as one either. I think the category should only apply to killers who follow the show's usual structure, you know, abduction, torture/ritual, then kill and repeat but don't learn anything specific about their victims before striking. Does that description make sense to you?
