If you are not good with math, please don’t attempt to create statistics. 450/500,000 = .0009. Move the decimal 2 spots to the right gives you .09, close to .1%, or 1 TENTH of a percent. You were only off by a factor of 100x…..
And most of those were probably “crimes of passion”, when anger or animus lead to a death. Also, if you kill somebody when you crash your truck, that is also a homicide.
FWIW, I met a serial killer once about 45 years ago, before I drove a truck. He was taking women who were addicts and “ladies of the street”, and killed maybe 6 before he got caught. He just cruised the sleazy places night-people used to go to back then (all-night diners, after-hours clubs, etc). I drove cab at night, so I got to see such things more often than I wanted to.
Since the FBI says that there are probably only 50 active ‘serial killers’, there are probably a few in the business, but 10-15 ain’t nowhere near the numbers these drama-queens are spouting off with numbers they pull out of their rectums….
