"Once is an instance, twice coincidence, 3 times a pattern." This is informally stated by some instructors at Quantico. The FBI Behavioral Science guidelines don't state it specifically for Profiling, but it's a good rule of thumb for "Connecting the dots" to establish a Pattern. For instance a Period and Escalation. If there's 2 murders a month apart, are they connected? You can't tell, because they're 2 murders, even if they're similar, you can't draw Conclusions from those similarities. If the first one got on the news, then there's every chance that somebody saw that and thought "That's really cool!" because they're psychopaths, and they think that sort of thing is cool. If there's another murder, exactly a month later, then you can say that there's a Period, a murder every month. RICO only requires a minimum of 2 acts to establish a Pattern. However, the more dots you can connect, the more detailed picture you can draw with them.
