Tryingto rid himself of his sexual and sadistic desires. This true serial murderer had a cooling off period between murders and used this time to collect himself and continue. (much like other serial killers) Clifford was a hedonistic reasoning killer to which made him committ his spree. For example, a hedonistic killer seeks thrills and derives pleasure from killing, seeing people as expendable means to this goals. But the ease of overpowering a child is what made Clifford go for children instead of woman or young men.

The difference between mass murder and a serial killer is reasoning, timing, and amount killed within that time. reasoning's behind mass murders could a political statement (terrorism) or a getaway/cover-up , etc. Such witnesses of a huge crime being killed off. Whereas reason to motivate a serial killer could be to rid the world of a certain genre of people or to fulfill some kind of desire or emptiness. Mass murders kill numerous people in a short killing spree usually unplanned whilst serial murders involve killing 4 or more people with a cooling of period of a month or so.
