I agree that LA and NYC would obviously be prime hunting grounds for psychos wanting to prey on the young and starry-eyed. But, it seems to me that So Cal (and Nor Cal) has had more than it's share of very high-profile serial killers who did not target those types of victims exclusively, if at all.
Zodiac
Night Stalker - Richard Ramirez
Hillside Stranglers
Freeway Killer - William Bonin
Charles Ng / Leonard Lake
etc...
IDK, maybe it's just because they hunted in my backyard (and I'm more familiar with them) that it seems like we've had so many that can't be explained solely by the victim type. I'll keep reading...

Serial killer and necrophiliac Jerry Brudos took this photo of 19-year-old college student Karen Sprinker in his garage. He had kidnapped her from a department store parking lot and brought her to his house, where he made her model women’s underwear and pose for photos. He killed her by hanging her from a hook in his ceiling, then had sex with her body and cut off her breasts.
Brudos also had a festish for women's high heels and stockings. A docu. I watched theorized that his association of violence and sex originated with his mother. At 5 yrs old, Brudos found a pair of heels in a garbage bin and took them home. When his mother found him wearing and playing in them, she forbade him to ever do it again and made him promise to get rid of the shoes. When she later found out he had not kept his promise, she made a big deal of burning the shoes outside in their yard and making him watch. Hence the theory that Brudos felt that he had to keep his fetish(es) secret, then came the violence from the oppressed urges until finally the act of killing the woman and having sex with her corpse were the draw as opposed to just sex with a woman.
Incidentally - when he first married his wife, he made her do house work naked wearing only high heels. Police found sexy photos of her in the nude with many variations of stockings/heels along with photos of his victims. It is reported that he did not hunt/kill while his wife indulged his requests but, began victimizing again when she no longer would do so.
If only his mama would've let him wear those mutherfucking high heels - maybe he would've ended up just some tranny in a business suit and stillettos. Or.....maybe he would've still ended up a sick fuck. Meh, the whole nature vs. nurture argument - still open for discussion.

I think it's a combination, it starts with nature and then nurture just adds insult to injury.

I agree. I guess the question should be: can nurture ever overcome nature?

It's a very old very long debate.
