That would probably have to be the Zodiac, I guess. Hey, it's just an opinion.

Pedro Alonso Lopez - This by far is one of the most dangerous serial killers of all time with a victim count of over 300. Better known as the Monster of Andes, Lopez killed nearly 100 tribal women in Peru by 1978. Caught by tribal authorities who were ready to sentence him to death, an American missionary who was passing by convinced the tribe to let her take him to the police, the police - who let him go - were not convinced that the killings were of importance to them. Lopez than went to Ecuador where he would kill between three and four girls a week. Once caught in 1980, Lopez confessed to over 300 murders, police only believed him when an unexpected flash flood uncovered a mass grave with most of Lopez's victims. He then was released by the Ecaudor government and deported back to Colombia in 1998.

Henry Lee Lucas - Even though Lucas confessed at first to nearly 3,000 murders, eventually the total would be brought down to a little over 100 by the Henry Lee Lucas Task Force. The task force was created just to research the confessions that were given to numerous police officials. Police officials from around the country, seeking closure in many open cases, interviewed Lucas hoping to solve murders that had been unsolved for years. Although some officials closed many cases with Lucas's confession, later in the years, most of the cases were re-opened. Many people believe that Henry Lee Lucas had been toying with officials to see just how far he could go. Officials were finally convinced that Lucas participated in over 100 murders with his accomplice Ottis Toole. Lucas received the death penalty but the sentence was later commuted to life in prison in 1998. In 2001, Henry Lee Lucas died in prison of natural causes which means we will never know if he was confessing to crimes he did not commit, or making it look like he did not commit the crimes he so violently committed.

The most prolific serial killer from the United Kingdom was Dr. Harold Shipman, who murdered an estimated 250 of his patients. The most prolific serial killer from the British Empire is believed to be Thug Behrman, who may have murdered up to 900+ people in India shortly before the time of British domination.

If by popular you mean the most recognized than it would have to be Jack The Ripper. Because he was never apprehended, the mystery surrounding this killer seems to grow as the years pass. Compared to serial killers of the 20th and 21st centuries, his victim count is relatively small. But there was nothing small about the way he brutalized his victims. He is, without a doubt, the most well-known of all serial killers.

Ted Bundy is probably the most well known if we go by numbers of victims Christman Gniperdoliga killed 964 men between the years 1568-1581 after robbing them in the Roman Empire area
