I believe you are refering to a fictional character from the story "The Shack". Sinse I only deal with true crime this one is out of my league.
It does not matter if the victims are gay, straight, purple, gold, man or woman. A murderer is a murderer.
Yes, the "Ladybug Killer," also known as the "Little Lady Killer," was caught. This serial killer, responsible for the deaths of several women in the late 1990s, was identified as 40-year-old Michael K. He was arrested in 2007 and later convicted for his crimes, receiving multiple life sentences.
That was Pedro Lopez.
A serial killer loved killing little boys!
Yes, there was a real murderer from Italy who was a little bit similar to Sweeney Todd.Leonarda Cianciulli was an Italian serial killer. She made teacakes out of her victims and fed them to her guests. Similarly Sweeney Todd and his accomplice, Mrs Lovett, baked his victims into pies and fed them to customers.
John Reginald Christie, who was a serial killer. Rillington Place was renamed shortly after his conviction.
That question is impossible to answer honestly as he may not have been caught yet
Alfred Hitchcock based the killer on Jack The Ripper, and because the Ripper was never caught, I don't think Hitchcock would have revealed his serial killer either.
Nothing definitive is known about the Zodiac's background since he was never caught. But his crimes were murders since he was a serial killer. He killed with a pistol and with a knife.
According to Hickey's 1997 database of approximately 399 serial killers, the average age of the murderer at the time of the first killing was 27.5 years, and they typically were white males.
The Shack was a work of fiction.
There is one thing most serial killers that have been caught agree on. They hear voices that tell them to act the way they did. This is a mental illness.
