If by Hollywood Killer you're referring to DD Clark and Carol M. Bundy then they would lure prostitutes and young teenage girls to have sexual intercourse and shoot them shortly after.

Fortunately, in that moment of “desperate extremity,” the Powhatans brought food and rescued the starving strangers. A year later, several hundred more settlers arrived, and again they quickly ran out of provisions. They were forced to eat “dogs, cats, rats, and mice,” even “CORPSES” dug from graves. “Some have licked up the blood which hathfallen from their weak fellows,” a survivor reported. “One member of our colony murdered his wife, ripped the child out of her womb and threw it into the river, and after chopped the mother in pieces and salted her for his food, the same not being discovered before he had eaten part thereof.” “So great was our famine,” John Smith stated, “that a savage we slew and buried, the poorer sort took him up again and ate him; and so did diverse one another boiled and stewed with roots and herbs.”
Dorothy informs him of this in Chapter 4.
