Another factor here is that until around 1980, police departments generally did not believe that serial killers existed. The many well-documented serial killer cases of the 1970s changed this thinking. Bill James's Popular Crime is a very interesting book that spends a lot of time discussing this.
There were serial killers for a long time before the 1970s though? Including several unidentified ones.
