Note: This article on America’s famous serial killers was originally published on September 7, 2008 and has since been updated to include profiles of additional American serial killers.
In our original look at some of America’s famous serial killers, we looked at thirteen of the most notorious serial killers in American history. But those murderers are far from the only serial killers our nation has seen.
Now let’s add five more names to the list — more American serial killers you might (or might not) have heard about.
Dean Corll
Dean Corll, also known as “The Candy Man,” didn’t act alone. He worked with two accomplices — Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks. Corll is thought to have murdered at least 28 boys in the Houston area from 1970 through 1973. The boys were beaten and raped while tied to a plywood “torture board.” Victims were killed with a gun or by strangulation.
Dean Corll wasn’t prosecuted for his crimes. He was killed by one of his accomplices (Henley). While Henley was convicted of six murders, he wasn’t charged with killing Corll. That was ruled to be self-defense.
Amy Archer-Gilligan
Amy Archer-Gilligan ran a convalescent home in Connecticut. Oddly, her murders inspired the comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace.” She killed residents of her nursing home by poisoning them with arsenic and strychnine shortly after they’d paid her large sums of money. It’s also believed that she killed her wealthy second husband for the inheritance. According to the New York Daily News, “it’s estimated that at least 20 people, and some estimate as many as 100, including her husbands, died by her hand.”
She was only tried for one murder — that of Franklin R. Andrews. She was found guilty and sentenced to death in 1917 and was granted a new trial on appeal. This time she pleaded insanity. She was again found guilty and this time sentenced to life imprisonment. She was moved to a hospital for the insane in 1924. She died there in 1962.
Juan Vallejo Corona
Juan Vallejo Corona is a Mexican American serial killer who preyed upon the workers he supplied to fruit ranches in California. It is believed that Juan Vallejo Corona killed at least 25 laborers whose bodies were found buried in the orchards they worked at. No clear motive was ever given for the killings.
Corona was found guilty of the 25 murders in 1973 when he was issued 25 life sentences. His conviction was overturned in 1978 and he was tried again in 1982. He was again convicted of the crimes. He is still serving time at the Corcoran State Prison in California.
The Boston Strangler
The Boston’s Strangler’s true identity still hasn’t been confirmed, although Albert DeSalvo confessed to being the notorious northeast killer. This unknown serial killer murdered at least 13 women in Boston between 1962 and 1964. Most of the women were sexually assaulted before being strangled, although one elderly victim died of a heart attack and at least two victims were stabbed. Victims’ ages ranged from 19 to 85.
Albert DeSalvo confessed to the stranglings in 1964 after being caught and charged with other sexual assaults (where the victims were not murdered). He was sentenced to life in prison, later escaped but turned himself in, and was ultimately stabbed to death while he was incarcerated.
Many people still believe DeSalvo lied about being The Boston Strangler however, due to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in his claims, DNA evidence that would seem to clear him in at least one case, and the belief that the crimes were too different to all be committed by the same person.
The Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac Killer, who has never been identified, attacked couples around San Francisco in the late 1960s. The Zodiac Killer claimed to have committed 37 murders in total, but only seven have been confirmed so far. They included three young couples and a young man. The known victims were either shot or stabbed.
The killer himself came up with the “Zodiac” name when he used it in letters to the press. He sent them four coded messages (cryptograms). Only one of them has been definitively solved — by a high school teacher. In that letter, the killer expressed his joy in killing, calling it “so much fun.” And he claimed that the people he murdered would become his slaves in the afterlife.

Update: Please also check out another list of Notorious Serial Killers
Serial killers — you’d be hard-pressed to spot them in a crowd. They look just like everyone else. In fact, most of them are soft-spoken and polite. Their monstrous nature comes through only when you delve deeper into their personalities, actions and habits.
Reading the gruesome tales of serial killers sends a chill up the spine. Most of them seem to have had a dysfunctional family setting and were abused as children — emotionally, sexually or verbally. It’s as if this activates some psychological trigger in their minds, increasing the feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness, and causing them to seek out their own heinous form of release.
There have been hundreds of serial killers in the history of America, and there are a few that tend to stay in the minds of citizens, becoming “famous.”
Here are just a few of the (in)famous serial killers that have walked the streets of our nation, in no particular order. There may be many others that are notorious or have killed more people, but we picked a few of the more famous killers that truly shocked us.
Ed Gein (Killings between 1947 and 1957)
Known as history’s most inspirational killer, his character became a central element in many films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Psycho and the character of Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs, among others.
Modus Operandi
Gein was a serial killer who skinned his victims, exhumed corpses, and decorated his home with parts of his victims’ bodies. Human skin was used to make dust bins, furniture, and even clothes.
Background
Gein was born in 1906 as the younger of two boys. He had a weak alcoholic father and a domineering mother who was deeply religious. He was said to be very attached to her. She taught them about immorality and the evils of women and sex and discouraged their sexual desires. He turned into an effeminate and shy boy.
His father died as a result of his alcoholism and later his brother Henry, who used to criticize his mother about Gein’s unhealthy attachment to her, died in a mysterious fire. The younger boy was later suspected.
Fantasies
With nobody to control him after his mother passed away, Gein became obsessed with sexual fantasies and female anatomy. Fascinated by the human experiments performed in Nazi camps, he started robbing graves to perform experiments of his own, including exhuming his own mother’s body. The experiments became gruesome and cannibalistic. He had the desire to turn himself into a woman and would create breasts out of human skin and drape them over himself. He believed that for a sex change, he would need fresh bodies and thus started his killing spree, which was said to be because of his love-hate relationship with his mother.
House of Horrors
When police finally caught up with him, they found a variety of gruesome sights — hanging corpses with their throats and heads missing, bowls made of skulls, pieces of jewelry made of human skin, hanging lips, skin upholstery for chairs, and masks made of facial skin and vulva (including his mother’s) that were painted silver. The most shocking discovery was perhaps his mother’s heart, which was found in a pan on the stove.
Killings and Sentence
Police counted 15 women as his victims. Gein told the police that he never had sex with any of the dead women as “they smelled too bad.” His fascination with women was because of the power they held over men. Gein was admitted to Waupan State Hospital and died of cancer at the age of 78.
Ted Bundy (Killings between 1974 and 1978)
Ted Bundy proved that even the devil can be attractive. Bundy was one of the most infamous serial killers in American history. He was handsome, charming and cultured, all traits playing a role in his ability to rape and murder numerous young women. He even engaged in necrophilia (sexual attraction or involvement with corpses).
Modus Operandi
Bundy had unique techniques of luring his victims. He would drink alcohol before approaching potential victims, even in a crowd or in broad daylight, and gain their trust by faking an injury with his arm in a fake cast or a sling. He would at times act as a policeman or fire department personnel. After luring victims to his car, he would hit them on their head with a crowbar. He then raped and assaulted them sexually before strangling and mutilating them.
This good looking maniac used to visit the corpses several times at the Taylor Mountain body dump site, apply makeup to them, and sleep with them till they putrefied.
Background
One of the theories says that he started killing people as early as 14 years old. Many of his victims are said to have a physical resemblance to his first girlfriend.
Bundy was born Theodore Robert Cowell in 1946 in Burlington, Vermont to an unmarried mother of 22. He gets his name from his stepfather. He was made to believe by his grandparents that he was their son and that his mother was actually his sister.
He was a good student, and like most young people devastated when his first love left him. Bundy didn’t deal with the grief as most people do though. He spent years trying to get her back, and when he did he started killing innocent people and then dumped his girlfriend just as she dumped him.
Killings and Sentence
He was executed in 1989 after confessing to 40 murders.
Before his execution, he revealed that his addiction to pornography led him to do what he did. He said that there are many people out there who were addicted and nothing is being done about them.
One of Bundy’s famous quotes – “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow.”
David Berkowitz – Son of Sam (Killings between 1976 and 1977)
Better known as the Son of Sam or the .44 killer, David Berkowitz is a New York City serial killer who killed six people and wounded many others. His crimes became famous because of his letters to the media and the police, in addition to the reason he committed these crimes.
Reason for Killing
Berkowitz gave an odd reason for killing – he claimed that to keep the demons quiet, he started doing what they wanted. When dogs howled, he started believing that these dogs were demons asking him to kill women. He was convinced that his house owners, Jack and his wife, were part of the demon conspiracy and Jack was the commander in chief of all the dogs.
Later he shifted into another apartment but was still controlled by the demons in his mind. His new neighbor, Sam Carr, had a black Labrador which Berkowitz believed was possessed. He shot the dog. That did not provide any relief as he began believing that Sam Carr was possessed by the biggest demon, and perhaps Satan himself. Each night these demons told Berkowitz to kill and quench their thirst for blood.
He also used to write letters to the police and media, essentially taunting them with details of his killings.
Background
David Berkowitz, born 1953, was an adopted son of a middle class family in the Bronx. Although his parents loved him, Berkowitz carried a lot of anger and guilt inside him as he felt responsible for the death of his natural mother, who he was told died giving birth to him. Experts believe that could be the reason for his aggressive behavior.
He was devastated when his mother died of cancer and his father remarried and relocated to Florida, leaving him behind when he was 18.
Later he found out that his natural mother was alive and that he had a sister. There was a reunion, butit was too late for him by then as he preferred his isolation and delusions.
Killings and Sentence
Berkowitz received a 365 year prison sentence and told the FBI that he invented the “Son of Sam” stories to convince the court that he was out of his mind. He then said the real reason he killed was partly because he hated his mother for leaving him and partly his failure with women. He felt sexually aroused when he killed women, and he killed six of them.
John Wayne Gacy (Killings between 1972 and 1978)
A respected member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, a precinct captain in the local Democratic party, the owner of a contracting business and a performing joker at children’s parties, John Wayne Gacy seemed as normal as they come.
He came to be known as one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history.
Modus Operandi
Gacy lured his victims into handcuffs in the pretext of showing them a pair of trick handcuffs he used in his clown act. He’d then dare the youth to free themselves. Once the boys were handcuffed, he would use either a rope or a board across their throats to kill them while he raped them.
Background
Gacy was born into a blue-collar family in 1942 and had two sisters. His father was an abusive alcoholic who verbally and physically abused his children. Gacy deeply loved his father and strived to please him, but failed.
He had the ability to persuade an manipulate people, likely because of how normal and harmless he seemed on the outside. He later got married and had two kids of his own, but his wife left him when he was arrested for trying to coerce a fellow employee into homosexual acts.
Another thing to note is that he injured his head by falling off a swing when he was 11 years old. He suffered from blackouts until he was 16, and then was diagnosed with a blood clot and the condition was corrected.
Killings and Sentence
When Gacy realized that police were about to arrest him, he surrendered himself. He told them, “There are four Johns” (similar to multiple personalities) — one was a contractor, another a clown, one a politician, and the fourth went by the name Jack Hanley, and he did evil things.
Gacy confessed to more than 24 murders and drew a map to 28 graves under his house and garage. He also said he threw five others into the Des Plaines River.
He was executed with a lethal injection on May 10, 1994. His last meal consisted of fried chicken, Coke, French fries and strawberry shortcake. His last words were, “Kiss my ass.”
Jeffrey Dahmer – Monster (Killings between 1978 and 1991
This Milwaukee serial killer murdered boys of Asian and African descent. His murders were gruesome and involved torture, forced sodomy, dismemberment (removing their limbs), necrophilia, and cannibalism.
He was arrested first when caught fondling a 13-year-old boy in Milwaukee and was sentenced to one year in a work release camp. After serving ten months, he was released on probation for his good behavior. That’s when his killing spree began.
He committed his first murder at the age of 18, shortly after being released, and his first victim was a 19-year-old hitchhiker.
There was a much-talked about story about a 14-year-old boy who almost escaped Dahmer in 1991. He wandered into the streets without clothes, with Dahmer in pursuit. Police believed Dahmer’s story that the boy was 19 years old and was his partner, and took the boy to Dahmer’s house. In spite of noticing a weird smell there, they left without investigating. Soon after, the boy was killed and Dahmer kept his skull as a souvenir.
Background
Dahmer was the son of an analytical chemist, and as a child he had a fascination with dissecting dead animals. By the time he was a teenager, he was an alcoholic and a loner. He dropped out of college and his father forced him to enlist in the Army. After just two years, he was discharged because of his heavy drinking. Since he did not want to face his father, he moved in with his grandmother and lived with her for six years. His grandmother asked him to move out when he was arrested for exposing himself in public.
Killings and Sentence
Dahmer was caught by the police when a would-be victim escaped and alerted them. He was held responsible for 15 murders, sentenced to 15 life terms. Dahmer then expressed remorse and wished death upon himself. He was beaten to death by a fellow inmate and died of severe head trauma.
Gary Ridgway – The Green River Killer (Killings between 1982 and 1984)
“I hate most prostitutes. I did not want to pay them for sex. I also picked prostitutes as victims because they were easy to pick up without being noticed. I knew they would not be reported missing right away, and might never be reported missing.” These were the words of one of the worst slayers in American history, who was said to have killed more women than any other serial killer — Gary Ridgway.
The Green River Killer drama unfolds at Aurora Avenue on the banks of the Green River where hundreds of prostitutes hang around, and where on July 15, 1982 the body of a 16-year-old prostitute was found. She was the first victim of the infamous Green River Killer and was raped and strangled to death. He had the habit of finding a landmark and leaving a group of dead bodies in ‘clusters,” to remember easily. Driving by these clusters and remembering them gave him a high.
The killings continued and police couldn’t find a clue, so the “Green River Taskforce” was formed in 1984. The death toll had reached 26 by then.
Ted Bundy’s Help
Another serial killer, Ted Bundy (who was sitting on a death row), offered to assist the police and gave them several clues into the working of a serial killer’s mind until the time he was executed.
Background
Ridgway was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and he had two brothers. He had a domineering mother who constantly yelled at their father and controlled Ted completely, and she was never pleased with what he did. Ridgway’s IQ was 80, which signified a slight mental deficiency. He had a troubled adolescence and stabbed a six-year-old kid when he was 16. He always had an obsession with prostitutes.
He was married for fourteen years and he managed two totally different identities: one the life of a wonderful husband going on romantic vacations, and the other of the infamous serial killer.
Killings and Sentence
The Green River Killer caused mayhem for two and half years during the 1980s. He pleaded guilty to 48 charges in 2003, but claimed to have killed 71 women. A controversial plea bargain he entered into spared him execution in exchange for helping to locate the remains of all of those women by providing details. This created a lot of controversy as many people believed that a person who murdered so many people should not be spared the death sentence.
He was sentenced to 48 life sentences and is currently incarcerated in Washington at the Washington State Penitentiary.
Belle Sorenson Gunness (Killings between 1900 and 1908)
Unlike many other female killers, Gunness didn’t poison her victims — she slaughtered them. She was a 42-year-old Norwegian immigrant who purchased a property in La Porte, Indiana using her first husband’s insurance after his death. Her husband and two of her children were said to have died mysteriously, although she wasn’t suspected. After moving to La Porte with the rest of her children, she married Peter Gunness who died after just nine months. She collected another insurance payment. Over the next few years, other men that came into her life vanished without trace.
She became famous for being a black widow — killing several of her husbands, ranch workers and adopted children.
Modus Operandi
She would place matrimonial ads in newspapers and promised men marital bliss and a life filled with love. Several hopefuls traveled to La Porte carrying their life savings with them. She would then drug them and cut them up as she cut her hogs. She would then wrap them up with oilskin and bury them at her farm.
A letter she wrote reads – “My heart beats in wild rapture for you, My Andrew, I love you. Come prepared to stay forever.”
Background
There are various accounts of her background. She was said to be one of eight children and was born in Stoersetgjerdet in Norway. One story goes that she got pregnant with a man and he kicked her in her stomach in public causing her to lose her child. He disappeared soon after. According to her sister, Belle was said to be crazy for money.
Missing Mysteriously
In 1908, Gunness’ farmhouse caught fire and burned to the ground. When it was put out, the remains of several people were discovered — men, children, and even a woman. The children were identified as hers. The woman was assumed to be Gunness herself, although there was no head. It was thought she died in that fire.
Many butchered bodies were found around her property, carved like turkeys. The heads were cut off, arms removed, and legs sawed off at the thigh.
Despite the assumption that she died, her ranch hand and lover, Lamphere, claimed that he helped Belle fake her own death and run away when he was arrested. Officially, she was presumed dead.
She was said to have killed 49 people.
Charles Manson (Killings in 1969)
Called the “most dangerous man” and the “devil,” Charles Manson was the terror of the 60s.
Background
He was born in 1934 to a 16-year-old mother who was a troublemaker. She left him with his aunt or grandmother most of the time. She was arrested on armed robbery charges and sent to a penitentiary, leaving Manson to live with his aunt and uncle. Even after she was released, his mother didn’t want the responsibility of looking after him. She was even willing to trade him for a drink. His father was never in the scene from his birth.
Manson turned out to be a troublemaker himself, and he was sent to a reform school at the age of nine. By the time he was 26, he was charged with rape, drug charges, stealing, pimping, and more.
He was religious and used this to manipulate people into following him. When he was 34, he formed the “Charles Manson Family” by attracting a group of followers — mostly young women with troubled pasts. He used amphetamines to alter their personalities and they started calling him “Jesus Christ” and did everything he wanted, including physical favors.
He was a music lover who believed that the “Beatles’” were prophets sent to earth to warn of an upcoming revolution. Manson focused on an Armageddon, where the blacks would rise to power and kill all whites and the Manson family would be the only white family living. He felt the blacks wouldn’t be able to stay in power because of an inferiority complex and that the Manson family would then rule the world.
When this did not happen, he started having people killed by his “family” members.
Killings and Sentence
His first murder was that of Sharon Tate, wife of director Roman Polanski. The next was the LaBianca family. He was sentenced to death but later reduced to life imprisonment, when California Supreme Court eliminated death penalties temporarily. He is currently an inmate at Corcoran State Prison.
Albert Fish (Killings between 1919 and 1930)
Albert Fish may have been America’s most vile pedophile, serial killer, and cannibal. He is known by many names — Gray Man, Brooklyn Vampire, The Boogeyman, and the Werewolf of Wysteria. He was a gentle-looking and benevolent grandfather, a total contrast to the monster within him. His wife considered him a wonderful husband and his children believed he was a model father. Some of his crimes seem unbelievable.
Background
Hamy Fish (his birth name) was born in Washington D.C. as the youngest of four children. Several of his family members had mental health problems. After his father’s death, he was put in an orphanage by his mother and he was whipped at the orphanage frequently. That’s said to be when he began to realize that he enjoyed physical pain and felt aroused by it. Then he entered into homosexual relationships at the age of 12 and was introduced to other perverse practices of drinking urine and coprophagia. His weekends were spent visiting public baths to watch boys undress. This led to male prostitution, which continued even after his marriage and the births of his six children.
Turning into a Psycho-Masochist
He also developed an unusual interest in castration and visited brothels where he got himself whipped and beaten. He pushed needles into his body, including his genitalia. X-rays later revealed a total of 27 needles inside him.
It was at the age of 55 that he started experiencing hallucinations. He believed God ordered him to castrate young boys. This was diagnosed as religious psychosis and is what led to the several mutilations and murders he committed.
Killings and Sentence
Although he was a suspect in five killings, he stated that he “had” around 100 children in all states. Nobody knew whether he was talking about cannibalization or molestation. He was executed on an electric chair.
Herman Webster Mudgett – Dr. Holmes (Killings between 1893 and 1895)
Mudgett’s criminal career started as a medical student who stole corpses from the University of Michigan. He used those corpses to collect insurance money on policies taken under fictitious names. He then started a drug store empire and constructed a huge hundred-room mansion with trap doors, lime pits, fake walls, acid vats, and secret entrances.
Modus Operandi
He would rent rooms to visitors and then try and collect the insurance when they were killed there. He also used to lure women to his “torture castle,” promising marriage. He would then throw them down the elevator shaft and gas them to death. But before he did that he would force them to sign all their life savings over to him.
Background
Herman was born in New Hampshire and his father was very strict, often bullying his son. He had a well-known fear of the local doctor’s office and because of this other students in his school would often force him to touch human skeletons. What was meant to be a scare turned out to be a fascination, which led to him stealing corpses while in medical school.
He started using the name “H.H. Holmes” after moving to Chicago and got engaged in a lot of shady activities. He is also a bigamist, married a second time and a third time while still married to the first wife. He was known to be a charmer and a ladies’ man.
Killings
His huge castle with secret passages had a drugstore and other shops on the ground floor and the upper areas were used as his office. There were more than a hundred rooms without windows, and there were doorways that opened into brick walls. There were also stairways to nowhere, doors that could not be opened from the inside and several other such oddities. This was to become his killing den.
It was here that the killing spree sprouted over a period of three horrible years. Female victims were mostly his employees who were required to take a life insurance policy where Holmes would pay the premiums. Soundproof rooms with gas lines fitted in were used to kill people. These victims were asphyxiated and their screams went unnoticed as they suffocated. There was a chute that took the bodies to the basement, where some bodies were dissected, flesh removed and turned into skeletal models. He sold these skeletons and other organs to medical schools.He also performed illegal abortions in the castle and many of his patients died.
Sentence
Eventually police grew suspicious about the activities in the castle and when he knew he was getting caught, he burnt the castle and vanished. Remains of more than two hundred people were found in the charred debris. He was later caught and hanged.
Coral Eugene Watts – (Killings between 1974 and 1982)
Watts was the first known serial killer in the nation’s history to have legally acquired immunity, and at one point it even looked as if he would be released in 2006 in spite of having committed between 80-100 murders. When a detective said that he did not have enough fingers and toes to count all the murders he committed, Watts replied that there were not enough fingers and toes in the room. (There were four men in the room.)
Usually serial killers are said to kill people of their own race. However Watts, who was an African American, killed whites mostly.
He admitted to killing females because he saw evil in their eyes. He drowned women in a bathtub in order to prevent their spirits from escaping.
He was not caught for many years because he killed in different jurisdictions and different states. DNA tests also didn’t prove anything because he did not dally with his victims, unlike other serial killers.
Modus Operandi
Watts would drive a couple of hours to commit his murders. He stalked women in his car, would park ahead of them, get out of the car, and then approach them. He killed females between the ages of 14 and 34 by strangulation, drowning, and stabbing. Occasionally he also used tools and other metal objects.
He started killing at the age of 20 but did not rape them, and some of his murders occurred without him even touching the women. For him, the thrill came from the hunt and attack.
Background
Watts’ parents divorced when he was two and he lived with his mother and step-father. He was said to act weird when he was a kid. He was never good at academics but excelled in boxing.
He started having morbid dreams when he was 12, always revolving around killing women. In his dreams, he would punch their evil spirits and he usually fell off his bed. When asked by psychiatrists later whether these dreams disturbed him, he said, “No, I feel better after having them.”
These dreams slowly turned into reality when he started watching, stalking, and looking into the eyes of women to find evil. By the age of 15, he began hitting and choking them. Ultimately it wasn’t enough for him to hurt those women — he had to kill them.
Killings and Sentence
Due to lack of evidence of murder, a plea bargain granted immunity from murder if he confessed to his murders and gave details. Due to this and his good behavior, Watts could have been released in 2006. However, after Watts confessed to about 80 murders, the Michigan authorities refused to go in with the deal and got witnesses to come out and speak about a couple of murders. Watts was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, he died of prostate cancer in 2007.
Richard Angelo (Killings between April 1987 and October 1987)
Angelo was a killer with a different mindset from all others. He made the entire nation scared of hospitals. The desire to be a hero in others’ eyes made him a monster. He was 26 when he went to work at the Good Samaritan Hospital on Long Island in New York. He was a former Eagle Scout and always tried to do good things and help others.
His inability to achieve the level of praise he always desired made him a dangerous serial killer of a totally different kind.
Modus Operandi
He took advantage of the graveyard shift at the hospital to satisfy his desires. He would inject Pavulon and Anectine into patients and bring them to a near-death states. He would tell them that he was giving them drugs that would make them feel better. After injecting these drugs, the patients begin feeling numb and their breathing became constricted. They also lost their ability to communicate with the doctors and nurses. Then he would show his heroism by helping to save his victims, impressing everyone in the hospital.
Death came upon many of these patients as he was unable to intervene and save them from his deadly injections.
Background
Angelo was a former boy scout and always wanted to be a hero. He was said to crave for attention from his parents and everyone else around him.
Killings and Sentence
He is said to have killed 25 people and was caught when one of his victims managed to use the call button for assistance after being injected. One of the nurses then took his urine sample and the test proved positive for the drugs, Anectine and Pavulon, which had not been prescribed by the doctors. All the bodies of suspected victims were tested and found positive for drugs.
Angelo confessed and said, “I had no confidence in myself. I felt very inadequate.”
He was charged for second-degree murder on multiple counts and sentenced to 61 years to life imprisonment. He is currently in the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York.
Andrew Cunanan (Killings between April 1997 and July 1997)
Andrew Phillip Cunanan, a soft-spoken intellect who had a flair for languages and discussing world affairs, was a handsome, lavish and boastful young man who associated himself only with the social elite. He earned many dubious distinctions. One was for killing the famous fashion designer, Gianni Versace, and the other is being listed by the FBI on their Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He was the first person from San Diego to get onto the “prestigious” list.
Modus Operandi
There was no modus operandi discovered for Cunanan. In the beginning he killed his former lovers who he felt were having an affair behind his back. The others that were killed may also have had connections with him, but nobody knows for sure. They were killed differently and with different weapons.
Background
Cunanan was born in National City, California and was a homosexual since high school. He was known for his erratic ways. He graduated in 1987. He was also rumored to be a lover to older and wealthy gay men. His mother called him a “high-class homosexual prostitute.” However his father denied his homosexuality, calling him “an altar boy” who has a good Catholic upbringing.
It is said that in homosexual circles, once a person crosses mid-20s he is considered old. When Andrew turned 28, he was deserted by his wealthy lovers. He was left to pay off credit cards which exceeded limits, and this left him broke. He stopped taking care of his usually very trendy appearance and gained a lot of weight.
At this point another emotion reared its ugly head — jealousy. He spotted two of his young lovers seeing each other behind his back. Another thing that bothered him was the fact that both of them had reached great heights professionally while he remained stagnant.
The jealousy grew to such an extent that he eventually went to visit them, killing both of them just days apart from each other, beginning his life as a serial killer.
Killings and Sentence
One of his victims was Gianni Versace, the Italian designer. The FBI found Andrew, as he left his name signed on the pavement in front of Gianni’s house. The FBI felt that it was his way of trying to get attention, saying “Look at me. I’m the one that did this.”
He led authorities on a massive manhunt for his killings. He killed himself eight days after killing Gianni Versace. He shot himself to avoid capture.
Conclusion
What you have witnessed here is just a fragment of the world of savage and sadistic minds who have transformed this act of murder from a monstrous anomaly into an everyday horror. These mythic monsters capture the attention of the entire nation and end up as terrifying household names.
Looking into the psyche of a serial killer, doctors say that every individual develops positive attitude towards life and people in their early years, and this attitude is rendered negative with abuse — physical and emotional. That abuse can also come in the form of refusal to acknowledge the boundaries of an individual through excessive expectations, possessiveness, and doting, all of which are as abusive as incest or beatings.
Researchers attempting to understand how fantasies warp the serial killer’s mind say that bizarre fantasies thrive in isolation and eventually the killers feel the need to live them out. They dwell on the murder act for days before committing it, completely caught up in their fantasy. But they find that even murder never fulfills the fantasy completely, and this leads to the serial nature of their crime — always looking for satisfaction they never actually find. Many of these serial killers also keep souvenirs of their crime which helps refuel the fantasy.
ummmmm crrrrrrEEEEEEEEPPPPYYYYYYYYY!!! :o!!!!!!!!!!
Listen, I think everyone is missing the point on the whole George Bush thig…it wasn’t his fault that the terrorists decided to attack like they did. In fact, his dumba** father decided to draw first blood. Then when Clinton was in office, he had a chnace to put an end to that. He knew where the leader was and he knew that he could stop them, but he chose to be the pretty-boy president and sit around getting blown all day(thanks monica!you are a treat!). George BUsh had nothing to do but to react to the circumstances that he was faced with because of the decisions that were made before he came into office. Do i think his decisions were smart? NO. But i do not beleive that we can blame him for doing what he thought was best for his country. In the end, you have to remember how lonely it is to be the president and how much stress is put on you to keep the counrty safe. He cracked under pressure, and no one else can say they wouldn’t. So i think it is a little unfair to call him a serial killer, or a terrorist, or to even say that he supports it. Because at the end of the day, George Bush is just a man in an office trying to decide what is the best course of action for our country.
But besides that,i beleive that this is an stupendous article and I enjoyed reading it.
charles manson never killed anyone and as far as i am consered he is one of the smartest people in american history
MANSON FOR PRESIDENT
With all the comments on here and i have read all of them, there are a couple of people who actually make sense, jwgacy being one of them and what dylan has said has to be the best comment so far, manson for president, now he would certainly sort out those f—–g rag heads ,no messing with good old charlie boy, no more mister nice guy, you will all realise then all these SK,s are bloody smart individuals, get rid of the retard(well, they have now havent they?) and that quote manson for president is the best quote since my main man uttered those chilling words to the shivering scared young homosexual in his room “The Trick Is, To Have The Key” HA HA NUFF SAID.
manson for president the best quote? no not really did you do any reading at all or is your ADD/ADHD that severe…. manson wanted to take down all black he wanted to start a race war and that is the last thing that we need to go back to. there is a reason we had a civil war and so many of our fathers died it was not to protect ourselves from another nation or from people trying to take away our freedoms to live, it was to protect the liberties of all american citizens… the whole manson for president comment get the award for dumbest statement on this site next up would have to be any bush is a terrorist statement or that he should be on the list with the rest of the serial killers… look up the definitions of what both mean bush does not fit into any of those categories if you find so twisted way to make his character fit into one then you might as well join al queda and believe the perversions they do to the holy coran … a book that teaches loving thy fellow man and never answering violence with more violence. learn the facts and become educated on a topic then open your mouth … and college student in there first year can tell you that you can’t write an argumentive research paper without getting all the facts and debunking the other sides rebuttle. i know this is an online topic and most people reading this sort of thing just use there computer for forums and porn but google in the scholarly section and get some straight facts then come back and share your knowledge with others that may not know as much as you do on a topic… its the only way we as americans can stop being ignorant and hated by the rest of the world… don’t blame your own short cummings and problems on the government or its officials they were elected by us it just so happens that the majority of americans are retarted so change that and change this country for the better “pay it forward’ as it were
Sorry, but i have that reading disorder, you know the one, so anyway im replying to the comment made by “ginger —-” firstly im not american im german and secondly ginger —- why dont you lighten up a bit ya ——–. Ever heard of “——–“. Obviously not in your case. I stand by what i believe “MANSON FOR PRESIDENT”. Didnt he like ———————— parties amongst the Californian sand dunes? Well, that sounds mighty fine to me boy. So long ——. x

I cant believe these people! It’s awful what they’ve done o.o Especially Ed Gein, Belle Sorenson Gunness and Gary Ridgway. Awful, awful people =[ Most of these include rape (no shock there)
john…. john john john….. maybe you should listen to your liberal whining lady friend…. you ARE giving liberals a bad name for bashing george bush…. you are no better than at terrorist only because you cant just be an american and support the head of the great nation we know as america….. i am a conservative and you can bet that i will support obama from now on because he is now the head honcho. stooping to your level and blogging slander about george bush is very childish. you can bet bottom dollar that one of the reasons that you have the freedom to bad mouth GWB is because of his ideals and his forethought to proceed into the fight against terrorism. you are truly a coward and i hope that all liberals are not as outlandish and far-fetched as you are.
thats total awesome dude!!
And what about Adolf Hitler: 6 million Jews he killed….
You forgot to put him on top of your list!!
@Juliette – And what did jews did in return? Destroyed the world and then took over the banking, education, food and media.
Adolf Hitler didnt kill ONE single person, he was just misunderstood thats all. A brilliant man who did it his way. Nobody slagged off frank sinatra when he did it his way.
no body misunder stood him they knew what he wanted and he knew what he wanted he was a genius he singalhandedly almost wiped out a whole race and what do you think this world would be like if all these things have never happened in history and as for manson he could be a billioaire right now all he has to do is sign a few papers and sell his name there are so many followers for him that if they let him out it will all just happen again….
@Bill: what kind of BS are you talking about!!!!! You re some Jew-hater!! They were murdered, slaughtered and tortured by ADOLF HITLER!!! They NEVER destroyed the world. They were blessed by the Almighty and still are being blessed and the world is jealous about that! The Jes are God´s peolple, don´t mess with th children of the Lord says the Holy Bible.
@john wayne gacy: indeed Hitler didnot kill one single person, he was just like Charles Manson, he neither did not kill one single person and yet he is convicted as a murderer!! HITLER flew his a** from Germany that´s why he could not be convicted.
You 2 guys go and study the history because you are talking real stupid things here!!
You need to read up on your stuff, too, before you criticize. First off, this is about American serial killers- Hitler was German. And, second, Hitler was not a serial killer, he committed genocide. Just saying.
6 million jews died from fighting+ disease
10 million russians died fighting alone so who suffered more?
@Bill: just like Charles Manson, Adolf was responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews, so he WAS a murderer!!! I said WAs because thank God the SOB is already burning in hell!!
RE: Juliette”@Bill: just like Charles Manson, Adolf was responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews, so he WAS a murderer!!! I said WAs because thank God the SOB is already burning in hell!!
What utter BS! Hitler is not burning in hell! How do you know? Because of Jewish and US propaganda to get the fools to support the war and to support the demonic Jews whole stole Palestinian land to build their demonic state of Israhell. Where is the proof that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Fool , the figure six million has been the magical demonic number of the Jews for centuries.
“…]
Actually, the 6,000,000 appeared even earlier in the 1910 Encyclopedia Britannica (V.25, 482b). “While there remain in Russia and Rumania over six millions of Jews who are being systematically degraded….”. As we know, this number has ritualistic significance, so must be publicly repeated and acknowledged as much as possible.
[…]
While again we musn’t stray too far, inquiring minds into the occult origins of particular ideas might study the ancient Hebrew/Semitic genuine holocaust human sacrifice god, Moloch, in whose fiery Jerusalem temple the allegedly wise Solomon allowed little babies to burn alive in ovens. Read the Jewish Old Testament; it’s all there. Does this give rise to a modern-day psychological neurosis, a compulsive obsession with alleged WWII mass burnings in ovens? Do Moloch, Ba’al and similar Semitic idols of evil, powerful ethnic atavistic images, fuel the fires and fantasies of irrational holohoax fundamentalist exterminationists? Is this gory ancient archetype lurking in their psyche?
[…]
The symbolic 6,000,000 and the special term, holocaust, were carefully created, crafted and fabricated by those who follow undeniably Talmudic-Kabalistic doctrines and dogma. 6,000,000 has nothing at all to do with actual deaths, yet Holocaustianity has become a government sponsored publicly supported and enforced religion…
[…]
The primary purpose of the 6,000,000 holo-myths is deceptive, evil and occult. It is an ongoing magical working of the Dark Forces. The Elders of Zion (JEWS) cast Protocols-like spells to deceive the goyim, causing them to ostentatiously and obligingly revere the Chosen Ones – and support them with money. This clever holo/hoax/hex works ever so well on the common people, especially the self-deceived so-called Judeo-Christians, thus we cannot deny its magic power.
http://exposing-the-holocaust-hoax-archive.blogspot.com/2009/09/kabalistic-occult-origins-and-purpose.html
Surely if the Bible says the Jews ( pharisees) are the enemy of God and the Bible does prove that to be so then how would Hitler burn in hell for doing Gods work? Truth is the holocaust is a hoax and not one thread has been proven to this day. In fact it has been proven to be false time and again and only unlearned fools parrot the six million myth. Even God in the bible warned us to never believe anything that comes from the mouth of a Jew in Titus. Yet God did not believe them or trust then and you do? And you have the nerve to blaspheme God in the flesh who was Jesus the Christ and call him a Jew which the word of God says we should never believe and lies come form their mouths continually. Time to get out of your shell of ignorance and learn the truth and not let these demons destroy the truth!
See, they have been pulling this six million BS since the beginning of time and yet we still fall for it today!
@John wayne gacy: what a sick mind you must have to even compare a great singer like Frank sinatra with a he-devil like Adolf Hitler. Shame on you. Frank will turn around in his grave if he was able to read this garbage of yours!
Well, I just want you people to pay your attention on the issue which is popular every where in thr world that Muslims are terrorists. If you come to know this report then you will realize that no one have ever made an issue of these american serial killers. Why didn’t the call terrorists? yes, because they are not Muslims so we have come to know that there is a lobby behind this issue that Muslims are terrorists and they want to vanish Muslims out from this world.
Juliette, ever heard of wrongful imprisonment, good old charlie might of been convicted of murder, that doesnt mean he did it. Thousands of people are put away for something they aint done. Dodgy police, Dodgy Judges all taking back handers. The media was fed so much bs on quiet law abiding mr manson that it was a clear cut case of guilty before proven innocent. As for Adolf, what would they of charged him with? upsetting a few inferior jews maybe or excessive use of germanys main gas outlets perhaps, get things into perspective julieann before you get on here and start defending mr and mrs Goldsteinburg.
@John wayne: go study the history. You are writing nonsense. People are laughing at you. I am not going to argue with you no more about this subject. You are far below my level of intellience.
Juliette are you being serious? People are not laughing at John for being correct about Adolf Hitler. He is perhaps one of the most wonderful statesmen the world has ever seen. He took post WW1 Germany from the economic, social, and political shambles it was left in. Additionally he was able to restore German pride in the people. This is an undeniable point that many history scholars will tell you. They go further to say that if Adolf Hitler would have died in 1938 he would have been remembered as a wonderful statesmen comparable to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Furthermore if you were truly intelligent and so passionate you would have read his works in Mein Kampf (the whole thing). Not to agree with him, but to attempt to see what his thoughts and reasons for his campaigns were. The police that investigate and interrogate murderers like Ted Bundy don’t agree with their actions. They simply are attempting to obtain reasons for the horrendous actions taken. Hitler was attempting to create a Aryan state for Aryan people. The same might I point out that Israel is trying to do for the Jewish people. Why are they so intolerant of the Arab Palestinians? Is that a race related subject or a political one? The methods used by German Officers mainly his generals were disgusting, but blaming him is like blaming Abu-Graib directly on George W. Bush. You should go acquire a little more education and learn some understanding of others. The Hebrew tribes are not the only ones that exist and desire a place to reside. There are plenty of our ancestors that searched for a place to call our own. That’s what we have found in America and that’s why we defend it so readily. Remember that history has always been written by the winners, especially in the past prior to the post-industrial revolution when communication became so readily available to individuals. I am not advocating in favor of one way or another in any of this. All I’m saying is that before you get on some soap box about being chosen by God. Try to act with a little grace for those of us that weren’t “chosen”. In my culture that’s what I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-C-E does for a person. It teaches them the importance of “spell check”. Also whoever the ignorant liberal was that was degrading President Bush about the war. I’m glad those other guys put you in your place, because you’re ignorant and your ideas should never be shared with other human beings. Join Juliette in a debut to post-secondary education. As for these sick bastards on the page above. They were all criminals and if you want to prosecute Manson you would have to compare him to Jim Jones in Africa or David Koresh in Waco, TX. It places the judicial system in a very precarious situation and that’s why charisma is such a dangerous attribute when possessed by people with ill intentions.

Firstly juliette let me explain who i am,(apart from the person who set out to wind you up and suceeded) I am jwgacy as you know, i am also Chief Advisor to the British Forensics Institute of Forensic Medicine and Digital Evidence here in London. I am a Foresic scientist and also have phd.s in Palynology, Toxicology and Behaviour Studies of the mind of class A-1st Serial Killers. So i know what im talking about thankyou. You shouldnt of let me wind you in and land you like that, it wasnt that much of a challenge. Still, life goes on.
Listen mr. john wayne, I do not care who you are, you are writing such stupid things that I know, despite of all your titles, that you are far below my level of intelligence. Again, go and study history of WWII.
John, you can have all the titles in the world, I stand far above you, that is one thing I know for sure. Actually I feel pity for you, I´m sorry…..
I study the minds of Crazed Serial killers, why would i want to study something that happened years ago darling, that has past, the reason i am on here in the first place is because it is an article right up my street. As for you being stood above me you are getting illusions which first started Ian Brady off thinking he was better than other people he didnt know. So be careful my dear.
John wayne, you should study WWII because you wrote stupidity. I do not know you Mister but from those stupid things you wrote in former comments, I can see that you you are not so smart. I don´t have to be careful. I said to you what I had to say. Sorry, but I don´t wish to continue arguing with you. You are not interesting to me.
Manson did Not kill Sharon tate or anyone else as far as anyone know.
He is not a seriall killer – do some reading before you post stuff like this.
No, Manson is the saint himself!!!
Come on give me a break!!! He was the BRAIN behind all these murders, that´s the same thing as being a murderer!! Just look at his eyes, he is the devil himself in person.
@Juliette: I don’t hate all jews but those who have caused world wars, who control the media, who control the food and medicine, the banking system, who own the UN and the world bank, Federal reserve and the Bank of England and most important of all who control the United States of America. It is because of the Jews and Jewish Policies that Americans are suffering today. America and Americans are being hated in the world because Jews are playing at the back end and forcing Americans to go for wars, pay taxes and interests. It’s high time that Americans should kick these guys out!
They were murdered and slaughtered and so they are murdering and slaughtering in Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine. On top of that, they haven’t yet stopped, they can’t stop the dirty game of causing unrest and gathering the wealth of the world.
As for Jews being the chosen and blessed people.. Why were the chosen people not granted any land on earth? Finally they had to snatch a land by causing the two world wars… For the information of everyone out here.. Israel is the only country in the world which doesn’t have a line of control or border because it keeps on increasing as the brutal israeli forces go deep in palestine but nobody ever says anything because Jews control everything.
You are talking about the Jews being chosen people and quoting Bible? That’s sick! You need to do some research on what you are saying.. Here are a couple of reads I would suggest:
The International Jew
The protocols of the learned elders of zion
—
Furthermore, for the chosen people, I have some video links exposing the truth about Jews.

Ditto, for once someone who is in the know. Need more people like you who have no “Fear of the Jews” as written in the Bible. The only reason they do what they do is because to many people are weak and fear the Jew. Want peace in the world? Paradise on earth, expose the Jew for what he is. I say this in a Biblical text because this is what the Bible is really about, exposing Gods enemies and the enemies of Gods real people.
@Bill: I am not going to argue with you about the Jews. If you want to know something more about the Middle East open this site:
http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened/
website is bogus!!!!!!
@Juliette: You can’t argue with me because you don’t have anything to argue and so you presented me a bogus website.
Let’s concentrate on this topic of SK’s.
Great read!
I have a lot to argue, but don´t you think to argue about the Jews and Arabs in this way is a little silly? One never can write everything down. So that´s why I told you I do´t want t argue about this middle east thing. And that video you saw is not bogus, but I can understand, people don´t like to know the truth, sometimes the truth hurts.

Yeah the candy man. What about david ray, he was a mean son of a gun was he not? I saw a clip with that woman who helped him and she was asked “being a woman yourself how did you feel when david ray was torturing them?” She said “nothing really, it wasnt as if he was beating them to a pulp and there wasnt ant blood or anything”” I thought to myself “she has got a fair point there, not as if he was cutting their tits off or slicing them open jack the ripper style. Know wot i mean?

@Bill: the thruth is written in the holy Bible, the King James version, the one and only reliable bible. Start reading the Bible and you will find out the truth about this whole Middle East thing with the Jews. Finito!!
Right Juliette the truth is in the Bible. Not one time does God or any of the angels of heaven call the Jews the chosen or the chosen Jews, Not once again do the angels or God call Jesus a Jew. The word “Jew” is a 1700 English inventive word given to the Kharzarres, so therefore it could have never been in any bible unless inserted by the many Jewish translators who have perverted the word of God for their gain.
In Hebrew there was no “J” or “J” equivalent in the language. The “J” was invented by the French in the 1600’s and given to America to use. That is the only time the “J” was ever used in history and thusly began the series of “J” words.
For instance In Hebrew the word “ISSAC” is pronounced “SACC” for they never pronounced the “I”. Sacc had a son and at that time it was common to call the child by the fathers name plus the word “SON” ie, Saccs Son of Saccson. Thusly the Saccsons were born. The JEws perverted the word in the 1600’s referring to Gods chosen tribe the Saccsons to the perverted word SAXONS which was devised to throw true Israel off as to whom they really are. Thusly the Jews could now steal the heritage of the chosen ones the Saxons. The real Biblical term is Saccsons not Saxons.
1Thes :2:14 “For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:
Here the Bible states that many have suffered because of the Jews
2:15 Who (JEWS) killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
This verse of the KJV says the JEWs killed the prophets and Jesus the Christ. They are contrary to all men! Does this mean they are not men as described in Genesis of the Bible ? Yes it does , they , according to the bible do not fall into the man scheme of Gods word in the bible. And lastly the Bible says the “JEWS” please not God. How can they be chosen and not please God? God is exposing them while they teach you the opposite!
Titus 1:10
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
OF the Jews
1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
1:12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their ( JEWS) own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them (JEWS) sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, who pervert the truth.
Here we see that Gods word tells us that Jews are cretins and liars always who are in everything only for filthy lucre (moneys ) sake. NOt to mention that the Bible states they are “EVIL BEAST” which therfore wholds the truth that they are not MEN as in the creation of man in the Bible.
The bible again tells us non Jews to rebuke then SHARPLY and to never give heed to anything that comes from their mouths because they are full of “FABLES” is lies, untruths such as the Holocaust hoax.And this same bible verse tells us that the Jews pervert the truth! What is the truth but the bible? Thusly God is telling us that they pervert Gods truth and word.
John states: Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Here God is telling the Jews who are about to crucify him what He feels about them. Note also that Jesus makes it perfectly clear that NONE of His servants were present during the murder of Jesus then He also makes it perfectly clear that Jesus Himself is not of the Jews nor they of Him.
Jesus is actually telling the Jews that if His servants were present they would have killed every last Jew to save Jesus. Are you a servant of Jesus? Proof that no Romans were present and this is merely another addition the Jews put into our Bibles . remember that Jesus said the Jews would pervert the truth.
Note also that Jesus makes it very clear that He was delivered unto the Jews for crucifixtion… none else! lastly God makes the final statement which should tell all men the truth That is that he is not of the Jew nor they of him, When God ( Jesus is God in the flesh) makes the statement to the Jews that his kingdom is not from “Hence.” It means that He is not Jew nor is the Jew of Him . The word “hence means not the source of or not coming from or that neither are they from the source which is God. look up the word!
In John 8:21 Jesus said unto the Jews “Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Here He is stating that He is going to heaven and the Jews can NEVER go there……not ever!
Then Jesus says ” And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Ye are from beneath means Hell!!Not of God nor heaven!
They (Jews) answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
And Jesus answered: :I know that ye say ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Here Jesus makes it clear that they say they are Abraham’s seed but He rebukes them in their lie knowing that they are not the seed of Abraham. Jesus makes it clear to all that the Jews are saying this but makes it clear He knows it is not truth.
Jesus to the Jews: I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
If God is not their father then who is? Satan of course!
They (JEWS) answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Again Jesus rebukes the lie that the Jews are of Abraham.He said IF YOU WERE ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN meaning even Jesus knew they were not!
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Jesus is referring to the Jews as not of GOD. Telling them they do the works of their father satan.
And finally Jesus rebukes them fully and state who they really are in John 8:44
“Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Your Father the Devil is literal not symbolic as the Jew would have you believe. No demon can enter heaven and Jesus said earlier that no Jew can enter heaven. Thusly Jews are the enemy of God and all mankind. Historically they are the anti-Christ which never is intended to be a singular meaning but to mean many such as an entire race……, the Jew!
I could go on for thousands of pages in this proof but now it is time for you to seek truth!
It’s funny cause you guys are talking about the bible on a page of serial killers.
Seriously. I don’t think half the people on this page care.
This was so stupid that I could hardly read past the first few lines, and I’m honestly not certain as to why I’m responding, but here goes:
Yes, you’re right, there is no word for “Jew” in any of the bibles. Every Jewish person educated in their history knows as much, as do most well-educated Christians, atheists, or any other individuals who have an interest in biblical history. The bible was not written with regards to “the Jews,” the majority of the stories concern the “Israelities,” those deemed as such for when one of the Judeo-Christian religions’ “forefathers” was renamed “Israel,” or “Yisrael” in Hebrew, meaning having fear and awe of God. Later, there were “twelve tribes of Israel,” with “Yehuda” being one of them, and those who belonged to Yehuda were known as “Yehudim,” which is simply the plural. It is from “Yehuda” that the modern term “Jew” has arrived, as supposedly the only tribe that was not “lost” in the Roman diaspora was the tribe of Yehuda.
(To be most archaeologically accurate, Israelites are largely considered no different than Canaanites until after the fall of the neo-Assyrian empire and the weakening of Egypt’s economic and trade power over the region – later there was a division between the Israelites and the Phoenicians; later than that, the Punic peoples, each descending from the Canaanites. This is opposed to the traditional story read in the bible about the Israelites escaping Egypt and the Canaanites being idolatrous. At least, this is what we know from old records kept in languages ranging from Egyptian to Ugaritic, various Aramaic dialects and so forth). You cannot separate the ontology of “Jew” from the ontology of “religion” as a concept and practice in Western history – the term “Jew” evolved along with evolving notions of religion. Thus, until after Napoleon in Europe, “Jews” were considered officially to be a separate nation living in exile within European domains, but never allowed to become citizens. Even if they converted, you can read in old Inquisition records statements such as, “My name is Abraham, I was born in Lisbon, am of the Hebrew Nation, and of the Catholic faith.” Nationality, religion and citizenship were very different notions than they are in the post-Napoleonic world, as Napoleon began the tradition of allowing “people of the Hebrew” nation to become part of the nation in which they were born, so long as they only considered their other designation a “religion” but otherwise espoused allegiance to their home country and followed that country’s laws.
Thus, I don’t see why you’re presenting this as though it’s some sort of novel discovery that will discredit “the Jews.” This is basic history that you’re trying to warp as a means of discrediting a people’s historical and cultural background, let alone religious faith. Likewise, the whole “letter J” thing is just…stupid. Of course there is no J in Hebrew, there was no J in any ancient Semitic language. However, “J” was not ‘”invented by the French and given to America,” or however, you worded it. The “J” sound has existed in countless geographies and time periods – for example, it’s an extremely common consonant in Sanskrit, both ancient and classical Sanskrit. Likewise, it was a Germanic and Slavic consonant as well, and later it entered into romance languages. The letters “I,” “Y,” and “J,” have often changed pronunciation throughout Western linguistic history and have often been used interchangeably or for transliteration purposes. There’s still no “J” in modern Hebrew, and in English, we translate the Hebrew words of “Yerushaliyim” to be “Jerusalem,” and “Yisrael” to be “Israel.”
Finally, Isaac is NOT prounced Saac in Hebrew, it’s pronounced “Yitschaak,” with a guttoral “ch” noise, and the “Y” is definitely pronounced. Again, it’s just a matter of linguistics as to how the J/Y/I is pronounced or differentiated.
And…the rest of your post doesn’t warrant any sort of argumentation, it’s just stupid. Not that your attempt at pseudo-historical, pseudo-linguistic propaganda was not stupid, but that was information that some people may actually not know and possibly take your word for, whereas the rest of your post is some sort of silly biblical-textual-folkloric argument to justify bigotry. Anyone with half a brain can see through that without needing any sort of historical background information, as it’s not based on anything tangible, contextual or falsifiable.

Nevele – I first had this argument with ‘Rick’ over a year ago. I don’t think he/she’s going to let it go.
you mean the bible that was written by man who supposedly “heard the words from god himself”
give me a break… when you can prove that god really does exist then maybe we will believe you, until then, enjoy your bedtime stories cause thats all the bible is!
Umm..for everyone that’s asking about serial killers from other countries, read the article of the article.. it’s called AMERICA’S famous serial killers…. that is all! ^_^
BTW! Good article! ^-^ Kept my interest and is, most likely, going to be quoted in my essay for English! =D
Oh yeah I totally forgot that the Bible is 100% true. I wonder when they discovered that out, because last time I knew maybe some of it was proven true..to me the Bible is like a Harry Potter book..it’s a good read and has good morals..but at the end of the day, it’s all fairy tale..good god Juliette.
You liberal m****s don’t have any idea. what you are talkng about. We are in a war against people who murder civilians and spread terror. 94% of civilian casualties in the war are due to car bombs and suicide bombers. America and Bush are not to blame for the actions of al’quida or other various islamic extremists. all you people do is watch msnbc 24/7. you do no research, none whatsoever.
oh and Bill. the jews do not control the banking system, the media or any of the other things you mentioned. you have no REAL evidence for any of this. The jews are a religious minority in america. they are one of the least influential groups of people in europe or the US. you are just too brainwashed to see past the palestinian propaganda and lies to see reality. It is so sad that people can be so backward.
Oh they don’t? you are either a real fool or a very ignorant person. Perhaps you should read for truth a little more and get to know your countries history a little better. It is time to end the era of the Jew in America once and for all. And only truth and knowledge can do that.

JEWS CONTROL AMERICA. This is because the Jews own the Federal Reserve Bank. It’s not “federal” at all. It’s privately owned. By Jews!The money that President George Bush borrows in the billions of $$$ at interest comes from the Jewish money lenders of the Federal Reserve Bank. They look so veryprofessional & so legit don’t they? But don’t fall for it for they are bandits. For how does President George Bush pay for these loans at Jewish high interest hmm? By taxing American Gentiles up the gazoo!Presidential candidate Ron Paul says that we don’t have to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank but can print our own $$$ at no interest. Ron Paul says that this is ourConstitutional right. But Jews don’t care about our Constitutional rights. All that Jews care about is what serves their own interests

bill, let me educate you. Palestine is not a country. It never was. There is no such place on a map and there never has been. After world war 1 The ottoman empire was toppled than the land was taken under occupation by the UN until a new government could be established. During this time the zionist movement was going on and The jew were trying to reclaim land that was theirs thousands of years ealier (long before the “palestinians” and muslims. By the end of world war 2, tens of thousands of jews were displaced and were drawn to their homeland, thus the zionist movement grew. The arabs had failed over the last 3 decades to form a government of their own but the jews were ready to form a nation. Winston Churchill and the UN decided to allow the jews to form their own nation and to be fair they allowed the arabs to form their own as well (the land was divided equally). in 1947 when israel was founded immediatly there was an invasion by their neighboring arab country jordan. it was not alone. Seria iran and suadia arbia joined the coalition to crush israel. while this is happening thousands of jews in arab countries were beaten, murdered and forced out of their homes. Israel defended itself and won in the end suffering the loss of 10% of their population. in order to keep the insurgents under control they planned to occupy the neighboring countries of gaza and jordan. now what do these countries do? do they cooperate? Do they cease attacks on israeli civilians? NO. they continued to attack israel, and they still do today. israel suffers constant attacks from the PLO even after they cease occupations of these countries. Israel is the only victim. “palestine” is only a organization of anti-semetic arabs who cannot tolerate the existence of a jewish state. This fight is not about occupation. they attacked israel long before that. This is not about stolen land. The land was never theirs. this is not about liberation. he only reason why israel is in these countries is for self defense. This fight is about the erradication of the jews from the middle east. The palestinians will do or say anything to get the west to support them. They will lie to you and make you beleive they are the victim, when in reality israel is only defending itself. The liberal media has already joined their side. the jews dont control the media. if they did you would actually see the israeli schools that were bombed in december. you would see hamas using children as human shields. you would see the israeli soldiers using the worlds most advanced technology to avoid civillian casualties. you would see hamas hiding in schools to protect themselves. you would see the arab leaders announcing their support for hamas. you would see the people of gaza holding rallies for hamas. you would see hamas and the PLO declaring their primary goal. the destruction of israel and everyone in it.
Wrong again! The myth that there was never a Palestine is nothing more than Jewish propaganda and you bought it hook line and sinker…..unless your a Jew of course. Fact is Palestine has been long before the Jews arrived and murdered the occupants and stole their land. Fact is the Jewish controlled media is responsible for the myth that there never was a Palestine. Truth is there was and always will be despite the terrorist Jews of Israhell.

Ancient History of Palestine
http://www.palintefada.com/english/palst.html
From Encyclopedia Britannica:Ancient Palestine
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/373102/Megiddo
“In 1902, Sir James Frazer, in his book The Golden Bough, which argued his thesis about the origins of religion, speculated that the majority of Palestinian Arabs are descendants of the ancient Jebusites and Canaanites:
“The Arabic-speaking peasants of Palestine are the progeny of the tribes which settled in the country before the Israelite invasion. They are still adhering to the land. They never left it and were never uprooted from it.”
According to Scholch, the population of Palestine in 1850 had about 350,000 inhabitants, 30% of whom lived in 13 towns; roughly 85% were Muslims, 11% were Christians and 4% Jews
Figures from Ben-Arieh, in Scholch 1985, p. 388.
According to Ottoman statistics studied by Justin McCarthy, the population of Palestine in the early 19th century was 350,000, in 1860 it was 411,000 and in 1900 Palestine had a population of about 600,000 of which 94% were Arabs. In 1914 Palestine had a population of 657,000 Muslim Arabs, 81,000 Christian Arabs, and 59,000 Jews.
Alphonse de Lamartine visited Palestine in 1835:
Mark Twain visited Palestine in 1867 and wrote in Innocents Abroad:
*and yet fools parrot the lying Jews and say there never was a Palestine, but Mark Twain new and even visited Palestine.
In 1898, German Kaiser Wilhelm II also visited Palestine. He was appalled at the condition of the country. The Ottomans had stripped the forests for lumber and firewood. The Palestinian Arabs had let an old Roman aqueduct fall into ruin. The ultimate ecological curse was the ubiquitous herds of black goats. For nearly 2,000 years after the dispersion of the Jews, Arabs had allowed their goats to graze unfenced across Palestine. They had eaten the grass down to its roots, and the topsoil had eroded and blown away. The biblical land of milk and honey had become a dust bowl.
In 1896, the population of Jerusalem reaches 45,300: 28,000 Jews; 8,700 Christian Arabs/Europeans; and 8,600 Moslem Arabs.
In 1920, the League of Nations “Interim Report on the Civil Administration of Palestine states that there were 700,000 people living in Palestine.
By 1948, the population had risen to 1,900,000, of whom 68% were Arabs, and 32% were Jews (UNSCOP report, including bedouin).
In 1902, Sir James Frazer, in his book The Golden Bough, which argued his thesis about the origins of religion, speculated that the majority of Palestinian Arabs are descendants of the ancient Jebusites and Canaanites:
*No Palestine? Hmmmmm yet History is full of Palestine’s history and visitors whom have described it by name……. Palestine!
“The Arabic-speaking peasants of Palestine are the progeny of the tribes which settled in the country before the Israelite invasion. They are still adhering to the land. They never left it and were never uprooted from it.”
http://solarnavigator.net/geography/palestine.htm
Stop believing the filthy Israli Propaganda which is being used to steal Palestine from its inhabitants and murder them all so greedy Terrorist Israel can own the land and the natural gas deposits on the land. Ther always has been a Palestine. Did you not pay attention in school while now they try to steal history from you?
Finally someone who really knows the history of the Middle East. Arby, let´s see if they can understand.
@TopCity: I´m not going to argue with you about the Holy Bible, if you think it is like a Harry Potter book, go ahead. You have a free will to believe and choose whatever you like. But what if you die and you find out there IS a God? Than it would be too late for you my friend. It´s better to die and believe there is a God, than to die thinking and believing there is NO God and find out after dying that there IS really a God.
It may as well be a Harry Potter book to you since you don’t understand it!
aren’t we forgetting one thing? a serial killer has no religion, no nationality, no cause…no sense of right or wrong…he lives in a world created not by God or devil or the big bang theory…he lives in a world created by his own fevered brain…why would we confuse between him/her and something bigger like the politics of nation or religion…
You guys need so respect fro some people that really are religous you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
look up charles starkweather. 11 dead in 2 month span.
Wow, well spoken Arby. Well spoken. [Typed]

http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened/
I HOPE they have learned from wat they did am sssssssssssoooooooooooooo glad te bundy has dead
this is radical
Ok joe, its people like U that I cant help but punch in the face. I cant stand morons that don’t recognize that thousands of Americans died on 9/11. why don’t u say we shouldn’t of went to the families of 9/11 victims? I have a good friend who has several family members who were supposed to be at the trade center on 9/11 but were given off those days, and were spared by God. and the real retards are those genocidal terrorists in the taliban and al quada. And congress approved the war, the president cant just send troops to a foreign country. Those friggin retards over there were killing their own people and thousands of kurds. And u should be against war, its been said by a general, “any soldier worth his salt should be against war.” But some things are worth fighting for, LIKE THE LIVES OF YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS, if u forgot they were in danger of terrorists. But im glad I didn’t have to serve with u, because morons like shouldn’t be given a gun. Because those bullets were fired in the name of every person that died in the 9/11 attacks by al quada.
Duh no attacks were made by “Al Qaida” . That is the correct spelling and if you are going to be so convinced in something so fake you should at least learn how to spell it.
Fact is Al Qaida is a propaganda tool and is also a fecal slur often made by Israeli Mossad.
Fact:The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US . . .” — Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook
“Ana raicha Al Qaeda” is colloquial for “I’m going to the toilet”. A very common and widespread use of the word “Al-Qaeda” in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb “Qa’ada” which mean “to sit”, pertinently, on the “Toilet Bowl”. In most Arabs homes there are two kinds of toilets: “Al-Qaeda” also called the “Hamam Franji” or foreign toilet, and “Hamam Arabi” or “Arab toilet” which is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small children is called “Ma Qa’adia” or “Little Qaeda”.
So, if you were forming a terrorist group, would you call yourself, “The Toilet”? ”
911……………
IF we are to be angry at those who committed 911 then we should be attacking the terrorist state of Israel.

THIS IS ALL SICK. WHAT WERE THIS PPL THINKNG WHEN THEY WOULD KILL THIS PPL. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT
I have been trying to learn about these types of people out of interest, the only thing I don’t understand is why it is always reported of a default childhood or neighbours animals?,
they are the way they are or due to a considerable amount of bad luck they must get frustrated and fed up living the way common people do in our suits our politics and everything that goes with it, maybe.. just saying. they see things for what they realy are? we are all so jaded by everydays society that they lash out in the most incredible violence, yes a cry for help but we know that modern tried of medical history has always failed. many of these people are still behind bars awaiting the chair or leathal injection, but how come so many are still there? why is it so many before them have already gone why are they still here?? how come it takes so long for these originals to be taken care of costing millions a year to keep locked up?
oh and one more thing, George W. Bush, anyone who has the power to send military forces to a country, take away lives with nothing but a pen stroke? SHOULD be considered a serial killer as many of thousands of inocent people died for causes they did not understand. yes we know that apparently serial killers work with blue print and such but like everyday people, whos to say they can’t change the way they do things?? in a posision of power? who better to become a serial killer, why do it yourself when you can command others to do it for you? Manson did for alot of the time unles he had to or wanted to get involved.
What about B.T.K? He should definetly be on here
OMG! You have seriously been at this for what 2 months now? Juilette, come on from the comments you’ve left I can tell you are a very dependent, emotional, strong woman but F@@K give everyone a break!! People come on here to read about the CRAZY @** monsters that killed, raped, mutilated innocent people not to come on her a go on and on and on about the war in Iraq! DO YOU SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ON HERE?? You say all this stuff about how bad they are CHILDREN GET KILLED everyday over there. FOR JOHN:::: GO F**K yourself do you even get what ur talking about? Your saying we should all vote and elect a mad man? someone who brainwashed “his family” and had them kill yeah thats JUST WHAT WE NEED!!! Yet another George W Bush.
So what im getting at, is STOP FIGHTING OVER THE INTERNET AND GET A FLIPPIN’ LIFE
@Chrtistine: I give no one a break. I say what I hav to say because the ones I replied to just wrote down BS!!! They must know history before they talk nonsence. And don´t write down things about me like if you know me ok?? Keep your personal comments over me to yourself for you don´t know me at all. So don´t come with this crap from dependent, emotional strong woman business!!! And what the F… are you doing here on the internet?? You are telling us not to fight, so what do you call your filthy language??? I think YOU better get a flippin´f… life!!!!
I came to this site to read some things about some of the most f****d up people in history. Then I started to read all the comments and I thought I just had to give my insight. I am a Canadian with a European background and I just love all the Americans who say we did not choose to go to war. And I know most of you are thinking, what does a Canadian know about America. For one most of our channels and media is based on American media and for us up here in the North we like to venture out of our box and learn about the rest of the world which surrounds us.
First off war is what it is, and there will be many casualties. It is not pretty and it will never be and that is why it is dreaded. Those soldiers who do not believe in a war they are going to should stand up and maybe withdraw from the military. I do believe they are not sending children off to war who can’t decide for themselves. But I guess that is why they say the military is full of jarheads, mindless tools who do as they are told and do not question. I myself have lost and I do feel sad for those who never make it home but I will not cry and blame the government for their death. I will praise these soldiers for going off to fight for that was their decision.
I also love hearing how Americans just love to blame their favourite president and say he is a terrorist. If I am not mistaken Iraq was invaded before Bush was re-elected for president. If so many people were against this war why was he ever re-elected? And why was this war left to go on for so long? As for Bush being a terrorist I think that is just hilarious. Bush isn’t the one pulling the trigger and deciding on who is innocent. For any war crimes committed those in the military who committ these acts should be held accountable. We entrust our brothers, fathers, sisters and whoever else to make morale decisions when they are out there fighting for their lives. However in every war there are war crimes committed and if you do not believe this then you truly are a moron. As I said I have a european background and in the early 90’s my country went to war. During this war thousands were killed and thousands were deported. Now many years after the war one of our Generals is being tried for war crimes. To us, this man is a hero and is celebrated for winning the war and we do not consider him a terrorist. I do not doubt that war crimes were committed, but I know for a fact that it was committed on both halves as many of my family members were killed. In war it is either you or them, it’s not pretty but it is the truth.
The truth is we live in a democracy and in a democracy we are given the right to stand up and be heard for ourselves. Now usually up here when we don’t like the guy running our country we try to get his a*s out of parliament. We are suppose to elect officials who best represent us as a country. Now I know everyone did not vote for Bush, but I also never saw any huge protests in the US as in other places. Yeah you had a couple of thousand people here and there like in Chicago and San Fransico but for a population of over 300 million that is kind of weak. In Italy around 3,000,000 people gathered to protest at a single event and their population is around 60 million. Even America’s best friends, the French had larger protests and even we have up here. However many people just like to talk and think if they say to their friends they don’t like the war that they are protesting, and if it isn’t in their backyard they are just to lazy to actually get out and do something about it.
I think it is pathetic how most of America just seems to be complaining. Like I said before we get a lot of media coverage from America. When Obama was elected I saw a lot of Americans, especially celebrities and the so called higher classes saying “Now we can rebuild our country”. I found this funny thinking why couldn’t you do it earlier? You mean to tell me this one little man, Bush, was holding a whole country back. How did America ever become the most powerful country in the world when they can’t stand up and “rebuild themselves”? But I guess you were all waiting for your white knight Obama, to come save you. I know that you are thinking “Well Canada went to war”. This is true and we have even had soldiers who were mistakenly killed by our allies, I won’t name any names. However Canada and England only went to war out of fear of losing our relationship with our number one friend. But I won’t cry and complain and blame one man for all those lost because EVERYONE MAKES CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES AND THEY ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN CHOICES. Soldiers know the possibilities of going to war and they have the choice of joing the military even if they don’t get to choose the war. So in the end stop sounding so pathetic and actually do something about it.

[…] Famous Serial Killers America
I love how people who live in this country are calling former and or current presidents terriosts. I have just one thing to say….if you think its so bad in america and everyone is a terriost, why do you leave and go to pakistan or afghanistan and live. maybe then you will see how it is to TRUELY live under a terriost rule. do you walk around thinking President Obama is going to send someone to kill your mother? father? brother? sister? children? NO! so please stop. you make yourself look foolish and and u show your lack of grey matter.
Alright.. you guys are so moronic. Its not like we hold a draft. People choose to join the military in the U.S. So get your facts straight, he’s not considered a seriel killer.
Yes, people do join, after the recruiting offices on major college and high school campuses have pushed their agenda, and the end result getting 35% of the recruits who join because they have no prospects, no future, are usually on a 6th grade level, but are intelligent enough to learn a skill.
Remember: ” See the world, go to exciting places, meet interesting people, and kill them.”
If your going to put it that way, every country leader is a seriel killer, because every leader of ever nation has the say on what goes on with there military.. freakin Morons.
I just want to say that I can’t believe all you people want to turn a “Serial Killer” site into some lame political conversation. These people were sick and they killed out of lust and hate. Soldiers kill, because there trained to kill BIG difference. Serial killers are psychopaths thats what makes them so interesting. There not like you or me.
What about the Zodiac???? To me he is the most famous
Why does a country of 200 million odd people have the highest number of serial killers in the world????? I mean, that’s got to mean something. It’s not just a coincidence. The fact that americans have everything just means that they respect nothing.
1Bebo: Americans originally come from Europe, Poland and all those strange countries….so who can you tell is a real American???? They are all surrogates. I think the Indians are real Americans, but they don´t harm not even a fly…..
First off, American is more of a title than anything else, it is meant to let others know what you represent. The Native Americans where and still are a great people but they warred with everyone, even other tribes so don’t make everyone else the bad guy. Secondly, Everyone complaining about how G.W. Bush is a killer and all, stop it you anti-American p*****s. I know he made mistakes but you’re only listening to half of the story. I have met several of the middle eastern people who have expressed gratitude for what we have done. We have given them a freedom they never had before and they WANT IT. You’re only hearing how Bush is a killer, then you would have to say that EVERY president is a mass murderer including the founding fathers who gave us this mighty nation with the blood of our own ancestors who where fighting for a chance for their families and future generations. Right now we take everything we have for granted, that it’s a spit in the eye of all of those who gave their lives FOR YOU and everyone who lives here to excel at whatever they give themselves to.
I am going to kill every Canadian Citizen.
in 22 days
And bebo will die.
Dude, What are you babbling about?
Wow I had more fun reading the comments then I did the actual article and I think its very funny how certain people stopped commenting when someone else put in something that made sense anyways in all that I read I really found it plain silly that anyone can sit back and blame isreal for anything sure Jews come across as greedy but if my nationality was constantly attacked and always had some other country trying to erase it from existence I would get a bit greedy too since isreal walked out of Egypt they have had to deal with tribe after tribes of people trying to exterminate them and unfortunatly for them that will continue untill Jesus returns and cast Satan into the bottomless pit for eternity and that day is coming soon I hope all who read this are prepared for the glorious day of the Lord……..for God so loved the world that He sent His only Son so that who ever believes in Him shall not parish but will have ever lasting life John 3:16 God bless you all
@Alex. You are 100% right. God bless you in Jesus´name.
I’ve seen Charles Manson turn up on several of these “serial killer” lists, but it occurs to me that Manson should be included in an as yet unacknowledged NEW category…Mass/serial murder by domination/mind control…Most examples of THIS type of killer also fall under the heading of ‘cult’ killers, and would include Jim Jones, David Koresh, and the like, as well as GROUP killers, such as the KKK and other Societies…
Hmmm…I think this may be a promising new line of research…Any suggestions from the author as to defining terms, limiting factors/circumstances, etc.?
Regarding my previous post: I’m also aware that this category potentially includes some heads of state as well as sovreign nations…Idi Amin’s propensity for killing his enemies and EATING them, not to mention the Holocaust, could easily be listed under a broad definition…I’d like to narrow that parameter somewhat for purposes of this discussion…
lol Charles Mansion is hot
these people are f**king crazy!!!!!
I wish you all would shut up abou the politic thing!There are other websites for that. As far as this one goes, you guys could have done a much better job. I have been studying serial killers for over 20 years, and there is not a single one i know nothing about. Ed gein was not a serial killer, he was a grave robber. Now, he did kill two women, but in order to be named as a serial killer, you must kill three or more. Charles Manson – not a serial killer. He was a cult leader who got nieve people to do his bidding trough mind altering drugs.- Andrew Cunanan was a spree killer. If you really want to read up on serial killers, go to Crime tv. com. They have some REAL serial killers there.
Charles manson has to be one of the best. He would have gotten away free if he did not have the girls blabbing their mouths. I have spent my entire high school carrer studying him and other alike. i enjoyed this article completly. I just wish idiots would stop leavings dumb comments about the war
I look at these all the time…. I feel frightening. x]
No…. Manson IS the best. There is no question. Although Webster was pretty good too…I wish to create a replica of that mansion…
you charles manson lovers must be as evil as he is
What I find funny is that if your trained by a military force than it’s acceptable to kill. I know there is a difference ok, but still. Killing is killing period. If you look at most of their past they were traumatized as children and well I have to say that if you suppress people at some point they snap! Very sad.
Ed Gein wasn’t a serial killer he only killed two people. Charles Manson wasnt a serial killer either, he never killed anyone.
Wow, i enjoyed this article but the idiots that took this off topic and mentioned politics and religion should be trapped in a room with a real serial killer. Im doubting the author made this article to hear a bunch of ignorant hubris completely irrelevant to his subject. It dosent matter what you think in real life, when you’re hiding behind anonyimity, it has no bearing.
There is so much to comment on. I want to stay on topic so bad but it is hard with all of the negative comments getting thrown around. Quickly, I can not stand when people TRY to brag about their education. Always annoying John Gacy. Especially when your grammar isn’t to hot. Not surprised you didn’t mention an English award in your little biography of your self. Let me guess, that’s your next accomplishment that you will mention in an article about child molesters. Way to stay on topic. That’s done. Next, Oh sweet Joe. Good Bless my friend. I mean that. I to suffer from PTSD, it is not fun but it is managable if you work at it. To all the people with your comments about other races. Igonorance is bliss isn’t it. Must be nice to live in your little bubble. Make it a good day guys. It works if you work it.
Im better than all of you, i hope anyone who disagrees with me dies
Unlike some of you, I didnt come here to wow over these killers. I think that my interest stems from the same fears as people who look up sex ofenders that may be in there nieghborhood. Its the fact that most of these killers look normal, everyday Joes and Janes. They work in normal jobs, have normal families, hell they even have active spots in thier churches (BTK killer Dennis Rader http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/unsolved/btk/18.html ). How do you know these people BEFORE you become the victim? Ive had people ask me how I can stand to read all the bad things that these killers have done? The answer? Because I have people I love and care about and when I look into the face of new people in thier lives I want to be able to recognize the thing that makes serial killers tick. Doesnt everyone? Is there one thing that makes serial killers kill? A bad childhood? From the sound of Joe Ball (http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/history/joe_ball/index.html ) he was a son of a wealthy family that was well structured. Ball and BTK were both miltary, so it cant be lack of structure.
(Cont.) Dr. Larry C. Ford ( http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/terrorists_spies/terrorists/larry_ford/1.html ) was a educated man so these killers arent just left to lower educated people. The females, well you have the black widows who you think might kill because of thier lives as children but in reality, no ones life is perfect. Every friend of mine has bits, whether large or small, of thier childhood that they have problems dealing with. They havent become serial killers. And what would drive a person to kill thier children?
The point of this is, you cant see it in thier faces. For me that is the most horrifying thing. So I study these killers. I look for the little things that might give the unfound killers away. I might not be able to spot them on the street, but if they come to my home or to the homes of my friends and family, I want to see that little tick that gives them away.
Almost all of the serial killers have brain leigons if youre looking for a physical similarity they share. A pyschological similarity they have is that they have little understanding of right and wrong and percieve the world not in the yes of the sane, but in their own concreate world ruled by impulse. @Terin, im not sure its accurate to rule out a cause based on a few individual cases, the illogical cant be judged from a logical standpoint because boundries arent the same. Serial Killers thought process reflect what core humanity is before we evolved a concience to collectively work together for a benefit.
Joe, comment 45. Your nuts, Soldiers aren’t the ones coming back from wars and becoming serial murders/rapists, people from dysfunctional families and a hard life make them snap. People that are sadists/masochist are the ones that committee most of these crimes. Oh, and Presidents go to war for a reason. They just don’t wake up one day and decide to bomb someone. Read about some of the wars and you’ll learn that every action has a consequence. Like World War One was caused by the assassination of franz ferdinand by the Black Hand. Then Serbia was given an ultimatum from Austria-Hungry, and Serbia gave and unsatisfactory answer which caused a war between the two. Russia was bound to Serbia by treaty and went to war against Austria-Hungry. Germany was an allie to Austria-Hungry, and then declared war on Russia. Well, so on and so forth. It would take to long as to why America go involved. There for our Presidents go to war for reasons, besides without war no innocent people would die. God knows some of these b*st**ds need to die. The Earth’s population is way to high.
is this a homophobic website???
You people need to keep your god damn politics out of this. Also, This isn’t about f****n terrorists; It’s about serial killers.
haha and i like how everyone on this website tries to act all intelligent with their big a*s words. Grow the f**k up, your not typing an essay.
wow
I think that whatever they did to theyre victims should be done to them but with torture sick motherf****rs
I think it’s pretty retarded that you live in this country and speak so badly of your president. A problem with society today is that we don’t respect authority. I am a republican and don’t necessarily like Obama, but he is our president so I respect him as a higher authority. Besides this website is not about our president; it is about serial killers. So before your pathetic self has to find a random website to bitch about politics, think before speaking because you sound like a dumb a*s.
Serial killers…such an interesting type of people. Innocent people WOULD die even without war btw. Theres a difference between respecting authority and blindly following authority simple because theyre authority (authoritarians for instance?) butl leave it to the republican to dignify it. Serial Killers Serial Killers Serial Killers, did you guyz know that most serial killers have beta blockers? I wonder if that means something…
