The only top state that doesn’t really follow this ratio in the female serial killer sample is Texas. It has 4.5x the average population but nearly 10x more female serial killers. There are a few other states that don’t follow the ratio, like Missouri, which is my current home state. Yeah, that doesn’t make me feel great.

• Make The Cut 4 1 0 Serial Killers List

NEW YORK — Working on a show about serial killers, it's only natural that you might get a bit paranoid.

While shooting Netflix's Mindhunter in Pittsburgh, 'I would go running by the river before the sun came up, and it would cross my mind, 'Wow, someone could just pull over right now and kill me,' ' says actor Jonathan Groff, wide-eyed. 'It forced me to turn on my location settings on my phone,' and later, 'call my brother and tell him that he needs security cameras on his house.'

In the slow-burning 1970s crime drama (streaming Friday), Groff co-stars with Holt McCallany as FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench, who work in the agency's behavioral science unit. Faced with a new wave of serial killers who rape, murder and mutilate victims, seemingly at random, the detectives take it upon themselves to make unauthorized prison visits and interview criminals in an effort to better understand them.

Mindhunter is based in part on former FBI agent John Douglas and Mark Olshaker's 1996 non-fiction book. The series is executive produced by Charlize Theron and Gone Girl filmmaker David Fincher, who directed four episodes and worked with McCallany on Fight Club and Alien 3.

Having played minor roles in those movies, 'what was so exciting (about reuniting with Fincher) was coming back as a major character,' says McCallany, 54. 'Bill is a really complex, sometimes troubled guy,' although his wry partnership with Holden echoes The Odd Couple and Laurel and Hardy, he says.

'There's a sense of humor and a brotherhood that gets more complicated as the season goes along,' adds Groff, 32, who starred in Broadway hit Hamilton and voiced Kristoff in Disney's Frozen. 'They both learn a lot from each other and need each other, and are put in the most extraordinary experiences together.'

Mindhunter's first season tracks the development of criminal profiling, a series of techniques used to help narrow a list of suspects based on the crime, how it was committed and any discernible motive. Ford and Tench, both fictional characters, develop 'profiles' of real-life serial killers starting with Edmund Kemper (Cameron Britton), a necrophiliac who butchered his victims. Over the course of several interviews, he freely shares details of his childhood living with an abusive mother and killing family cats — red flags that can predict murderous tendencies at an early age, Douglas found.

Sitting in jail cells listening to actors recount their characters' childhood traumas and gruesome acts, 'there are certain themes that appear in all of them, and certain dots you can connect that are related,' Groff says. '(Our characters are) just in the dark shooting from the hip, figuring everything out as we go along. I didn't know anything about serial killers before we started this, so it was a complete education for me.'

As for whether all that brain-picking has helped Groff better empathize with criminals, 'the verdict is still out for me, it's so complicated,' he says. 'That's one of the running themes: What's wrong with complicated? The show does a great job of asking a lot of questions without giving a lot of answers.' Matrix 1999 download itage.

Since the beginning of her career in 2005, Lana Del Rey has recorded countless demos and even finalized studio recordings under a series of monikers including Lizzy Grant, Sparkle Jump Rope Queen, May Jailer, and with her former band, The Phenomena.

Among the notable tracks in these sessions were some songs which made the cut, including 'Shades of Cool', 'Sad Girl', and 'Is This Happiness', while 'I Can Fly', 'Yes to Heaven', and 'Your Girl' were some of the leaked songs which had been scrapped from the project due to the record's change in sound.

Prior to the album's release, a mass leak in mid-2013 saw songs including 'Queen of Disaster', 'So Legit', 'Maha Maha', and 'Black Beauty' being leaked. On the topic of the leak, Del Rey told NME magazine how discouraging it was, adding how 'even songs I’ve never emailed to myself [were accessed]. There are hundreds of them..' and in response to them being from her early career, she added that 'some of them were, but some of them, like ‘Black Beauty’, weren't..'.^[88]

Unreleased/leaked

'Fine China'[edit]

Leaked on Christmas Day 2016.^[35]

'Yes to Heaven'[edit]

Leaked on Christmas Day 2016.^[35]

'Angels Forever, Forever Angels'[edit]

Leaked in 2013, the track was posted online alongside other Rick Nowels collaborations including 'JFK', 'Hollywood', and 'Black Beauty'. The track's similarities to 'Black Beauty' have caused speculators to assume it to have been originally intended for Ultraviolence, further theories claiming the song was excluded after Dan Auerbach reworked the record's sounds and cut some of the contributions from the Nowels sessions.^[89]

'Your Girl'[edit]

Snippets leaked in August 2016 while a rough, full-length version of the song leaked in 2017.

Released/repurposed

'Wait For Life'[edit]

Originally recorded for Del Rey's second studio album, the track was eventually used on producer Emile Haynie's debut album, We Fall (2015).

'I Can Fly'[edit]

Possibly meant to be originally for Ultraviolence, this track was eventually used in the film Big Eyes (2014), as producers found Del Rey's theme-of-the-same-name for the film to be too sad to end the film as the song in the credits.^[90]

'Black Beauty'[edit]

It was leaked in 2013, but Del Rey evidently decided to still include the track on her album, Ultraviolence (2014).

Lust for Life (2016-17)[edit]

'The Next Best American Record'[edit]

Recorded in early-2016, a demo leaked in early-2017 under the name 'Architecture'.^[91] The song is sometimes alternatively referred to as 'Best American Record'. Del Rey said that the track and fellow Lust for Life outtake 'Yosemite', were like 'Yin-Yang' to one another. She later mentioned during a promotional tour for the record that she would like to release the two songs as standalone folk singles at some point.^[92][93] The song was later used on Del Rey's follow-up record, Norman Fucking Rockwell, in 2019.

'Yosemite'[edit]

In anticipation for her fifth studio album, Del Rey teased the track 'Yosemite' in interviews as well as on her social media.^[94][95][92]

'Something Real'[edit]

The track was written by Del Rey and Rick Nowels, being later reworked into what would become the song '13 Beaches'.

'Roses Bloom For You'[edit]

It was recorded in early 2017 and produced by Rick Nowels. On June 3, 2017, Del Rey shared a video on her Instagram profile of herself recording the song in the studio with Nowels.^[96][97]

'Wild One'[edit]

The song was co-written by Del Rey and Justin Parker. It is sometimes referred to as 'Color Blue' and 'Wild on You'.

Norman Fucking Rockwell[edit]

'Hey Blue Baby'[edit]

An outtake from Del Rey's 2019 record, the track was debuted Del Rey and the record's producer, Jack Antonoff, at his Ally Coalition event in New York.^[98]

“I Must Be Stupid for Feeling So Happy”[edit]

An outtake from Del Rey's 2019 record, the track was debuted Del Rey and the record's producer, Jack Antonoff, at his Ally Coalition event in New York.^[98]
