Jazzy
While reading I hunt Killers we are able to see how it's like to live with a disturbing childhood through Jazzy's eyes and see how he deals with it. In the novel we see Jazzy trying to distance himself from his past and all the murders he witnessed because of his father and try to live a normal life, or as normal as he could get. When the body is found he immediately knows its a copycat serial killer and wants to help catch them. Jazzy is probably drawn to help find the killer because he knows what they can do, he lived with one and had to witness his dad in action. I believe that Jazzy feels grief towards all the victims he watched his father kill and with his knowledge of serial killers, he feels like its his job to help stop this from happening. Jazzy chose to be different from his father, and used what he has seen to help others. Jazzy could have given in, and become like his father but chose not to.
