When you think of a serial killer, who comes to mind? The Zodiac
Killer, Ted Bundy, and Hannibal Lecter are iconic serial
killers: sociopaths committing repeated murders, often with
signs and symbols marking the murder as ”theirs”. But another
characteristic links the fear, or fascination, with these
particular perpetrators: their victims were mostly white women.
Yet a serial killer is defined simply as a person who commits
more than one murder; and they are just as dangerous regardless
of who the victim is. Most are motivated by sex and don’t
typically leave a “signature”.

West Hollywood businessman and well-known Democratic political
donor Ed Buck is in fact a serial killer and should be
investigated as one. Within 18 months of each other, two black
men were found dead in Buck’s Los Angeles apartment. Both of the
victims had been intimately involved with Buck. So why isn’t the
media talking about him as a serial killer?

First, Ed Buck is a major political donor, which dissuades those
who’ve received money from pursuing investigation. In fact, he
donated to the election campaign of Los Angeles County DA Jackie
Lacey, who is declining to prosecute him. This blatant disregard
for the dignity of the deceased and the lack of investigation is
unacceptable. We must act as allies by showing up and demanding
that Ed Buck be investigated. In order to live in a truly free
society we must mandate that the privileged are not unfairly
protected from prosecution for committing heinous crimes against
anyone.

Secondly, there is a cultural narrative of who a serial killer
is, and what their victims look like: put plainly, the media
carefully ignores crimes committed against people of color and
members of the queer and trans community. This omission
perpetuates the myth that a “serial killer” isn’t someone whose
victims are part of a marginalized group. This omission results
in an unconsciously biased definition that we all take in. We
don’t have to be purposefully or interpersonally racist to to
think racist thoughts- but understanding this, we must be
diligent in exploring these inherited beliefs. It is our
responsibility to intentionally challenge ourselves and unlearn
the cultural framing of whiteness. We must challenge the
internalized biases within ourselves in order to stand up as
better advocates for justice.
