This is why serial killers often got away for so long. Many serial killers picked their victims very specifically based on economic and social standing. Sex workers were often ignored by ignored by everyone and their killers frequently got away with it.

Even historic serial killers like Albert Fish (a incredibly monstrous person) chose to kill poor black children because he knew that the (mostly white) police force of the time would not give two fucks about a missing poor black child.

One of the most on the nose scenes in the Wire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6r2a2PaQPI

The conversation (copied from IMDB)

Detective James 'Jimmy' McNulty : Guy leaves two dozen bodies scattered all over the city, no one gives a fuck.

Detective Lester Freamon : It's because who he dropped.

Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland : True that. You can go a long way in this country killin' black folk. Young males especially. Misdemeanor homicides.

Detective James 'Jimmy' McNulty : If Marlo was killin' white women...

Detective Lester Freamon : White children.

Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland : Tourists.

Detective James 'Jimmy' McNulty : One white ex-cheerleader tourist missin' in Aruba.

Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland : Trouble is, this ain't Aruba, bitch.

Detective Lester Freamon : You think that if 300 white people were killed in this city every year, they wouldn't send the 82nd Airborne? Negro, please.

That is a great phrase I missed: "Misdemeanor Homicide".

Maybe this guy will be the first serial killer of CEOs of evil companies?
