Agreed.. A simple serial killer is basically an undisciplined sociopath, who derives pleasure from his/her gluttony of murder. This is very different than the concept of STS in which an individual is a disciplined deceiver for the purpose of moving oneself up the power pyramid versus other-selves.
A "healthy" STS murderer would be an individual who uses the tool of murder to increase their power - to destroy dissent and to improve/entrench their status through fear. Generally speaking, one who can properly use this tool probably has already amassed a significant amount of power, since public knowledge of said murders would destroy one's position on the power pyramid unless they were powerful enough to make any charges of murder go away.
Bill and Hillary might be excellent examples of this considering the number of murders all around them through the years, along with, obviously, the Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong types..
