Human society have serial killers the same way we have Earthquakes. We KNOW they exist. And we plan around these things. Sybil did not. And they are not dealing with some supervillain; just your ordinary cold-hearted killer in a society incapable of dealing with him.

And why can't they deal with him? Because Sybil doesn't work, and yet they had to pretend it still does work. Because to doubt Sybil is a crime punishable by death.
