Twelve couples in cases of murder-suicide were compared to 24 couples in cases of homicide during the period 1978 to 1987 in Albuquerque, N.M. Data were obtained from police, the courts, hospital records, and interviews with friends and family of the deceased. The most striking findings were that perpetrators of murder-suicide were depressed (75%) and men (95%), while perpetrators of homicide were not depressed and one-half were women. The data indicate that the murder-suicide and homicide groups are two different populations.
1978年至1987年期间，在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基市，对12对谋杀自杀案例中的夫妻与24对杀人案例中的夫妻进行了比较。数据来自警方、法庭、医院记录以及对死者朋友和家人的访谈。最显著的发现是，谋杀自杀的实施者患有抑郁症（75%）且为男性（95%），而杀人的实施者没有抑郁症，且一半为女性。数据表明，谋杀自杀组和杀人组是两个不同的群体。
