I'm not sure what kind of killer the OP was intending. Mass murder, spree killing and serial murders are very different from each other, but I assume she's a serial killer. A generic fictional serial killer is someone who is usually young, handsome, and smart. I think it's best to add more depth then that. With character design, it's good to have the same amount of negative traits as positive. If your character is smart, then they might also have a physical disorder to balance things out. Is she pretty? Maybe she's also neurotic. Is she young? Perhaps she's nieve.

I think it would be interesting to throw her into something that's not norm at all! Perhaps she got brain surgery because she was developing a brain tumor that was carusing the delusions in the first place, but the surgery went wrong, and became a different person from the complications? Maybe she's missing an arm from an accident or is near blind, but (because lets assume she has higher then adverage IQ) she has to use her mind instead to get away with murder without any physical contact? It makes for something interesting. Also, if the OP is aiming for something with a realistic tone, then they need to research into actual cases and study them. Also, if they every get caught, do they get sent to death row? Things to consider.

You can actually identify the body of someone who has tuned into ashes from trace evidence. I reserach into forensics often so if you need any help with this kind of thing I can assist. The thing about LSD, it doesn't tend to make people become violent unless they already have those kinds of tendencies to begin with.
