At the height of the 1970's crime wave there were at least 80 active serial killers in the US. There was a tremendous geographical skew in where they operated: very few in NYC (2) or New England (1), tons in California (23) and the West Coast.
This says more about the victims than the victimizers, many of whom were outsiders who seemed to feel that trusting, sexually liberated California girls were easy pickings. There used to a be a lot of geographical variation in suspicion of strangers; NY was high, California low

This may be just a stereotype, but how prominent is hitchhiking in serial killer tactics? Seems like there aren't as many hitchhikers in NYC, maybe that has something to do with it too.
