Dexter is a TV series centered on a blood spatter analyst named Dexter Morgan who works for the Miami Metro Police Department who also lives a secret life as one of the biggest serial killers in Miami.

Don’t get me wrong I love the show, it’s awesome!

Dexter’s first rule to getting away with his crimes is to only hunt down the ones who deserve to be hunted, in his case the criminals who get away with murder. Dexter never hunts down anyone that doesn’t deserve to be put on his “table” where he stabs his victims through the chest. I guess choosing the right crime to commit is the first thing to do if ones hoping to get away it. This doesn’t assure that one will get away with it, but it Mutanda 2 seemed to work in Dexter’s case because his victims were simply forgotten by the public after they had disappeared as if no one cared for them. Committing a low-key crime that won’t trigger lots of investigations is key to getting away with a crime. The second but probably the most important rule is to never leave any kind of
