Any perpetrator statistics can only be based on those who have been caught, of course.
The numbers Cheyne posted are perpetrator statistics -- they're not contested.
The number of each confirmed serial killer's known/confessed/estimated victims (whether exaggerated or under-reported) is not relevant in counting serial killers and calculating the percentage-by-race of serial killers in the US.
