Notorious Murderers and Serial Killers

There is a rumor that he was driving a shuttle bus in Riggins, Idaho, but this is unconfirmed.

He was a mixed type. He planned his murder to great detail but he would also leave some crucial evidence behind.

The character in The Texas Chainsaw movie Leatherface, was inspired by serial killer Ed Gein. He wore the mask made of human skin.

Nobody was ever identified, tried or acquitted of the murder of Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo. Although the theories are endless, the truth is that the killer didn't leave much evidence behind.

One of the most popular theories is that DeSalvo was about to confess the identity of the 'real' Boston Strangler but was killed to silence him.

Ed Kemper got 7 life terms out his 10 crimes committed. His motives are well described since he is still alive. He murdered 6 college girls he picked up hitchhiking for what he thought would count as revenge for his mother's bad treatment. He already killed his grandparents and did time for the crime.

Kemper displayed sociopathic and passive-aggressive behavior from a young age: he tortured and killed animals, acted out bizarre sexual rituals pretending he was dying in the gas chamber with his sisters' dolls, was a pyromaniac, and once when his sister asked him to kiss a teacher he had a crush on, he replied "if I kiss her I would have to kill her first". Kemper also claimed that he displayed all signs of the Macdonald triad as a young child.

After getting out of prison, he was sent to live with his mother. One day after arguing with his mother, he picked two girls from the college shot them and ripped them apart. He got tired of that since his mother did not change at all after his murders. He ended the spree by murdering his mother's friend after he killed his mother. The next day he turned himself in.

//Kemper is classified as an organized killer. Organized serial killers can be difficult to apprehend. They are careful and typically have a higher IQ than the non-organized type. Kemper is in the same group as Ted Bundy. Bundy was extremely careful until he began to disintigrate mentally, which resulted in the murders in Florida that ultimately ended his criminal career and his life in the electric chair.//

Manson II is the name given to an unknown person involved first with a Satanic cult known as the Process, and was involved with Charles Manson before and during the Tate-LaBianca murders, and second, responsible for crimes associated with this same cult on a nation-wide scale including, but not limited, to the Son of Sam murders in New York, with David Berkowitz as the 'scape goat'. After re-opening the S of S murder cases and further investigation the conclusion was that Berkowitz was responsible for only the killings in the Bronx area of NYC in 1976 to 1977 when he was finally arrested.

Investigative reporter Maury Terry's decade long probe into the Son of Sam murders led him on a disturbing journey, begining in 1977 (the summer of Sam), to the west coast and the crimes of the Manson family, to the midwest where the Process has affiliates, to Texas and back again to NYC. Terry's book The Ultimate Evil is his wakeup call to Americans, delving into the underbelly of Satanic cults that have sprung up in the US, some gaining respectablity such as The Church of Scientology, which has it's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, a self-proclaimed Satanist.

Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo would most likely qualify as a sadist killer. His victims were kept alive for days and were forced to endure horrendous treatment. He derived his pleasure from another's physical suffering.

The Lovely Bones is the story of Susie Salmon, who is raped and killed when she is only fourteen by the serial rapist and killer Mr. Harvey. In the related links below, I posted a summary.

The problem with Lucas was that he said things that didn't sense. One time he confessed that he was involved in a group named "The Hand of Death", to have taken part in snuff films, to have killed Jimmy Hoffa, and to have delivered poison to cult leader Jim Jones in Jonestown prior to the notorious mass murder/suicide of Jones's group. One is for sure, the gun he had with him the day he was arrested for murder, was the only thing he kept from a victim.

Richard Kuklinski was believed to die of poison but after an autopsy was formed they found out that he died of natural causes.

The question doesn't specify exactly where Fannin County is. There is one in Georgia and Texas. Further, I could find only one serial killer from this county in either state. John Wesley Hardin was born in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas. Hardin, by all accounts, was a deadly individual that had no problem pulling the trigger on another human. A notorious train robber, Hardin left a trail of bodies until he was finally caught and imprisoned.

Lee, Lori Grody, Lori Kristine Grody, Susan Lynn Blahovec. There may have been more but these were used most often.

That's part of their psychosis. No remorse whatsoever in almost all the cases. Only one in a some thousandths would turn themselves in.

In an anonymous letter sent to the parents of Grace Budd, 6 years after her disappearance - Albert Fish confessed to murdering, and cannibalising their daughter in 1928.

Motivation in these matters is often difficult to identify when the perpetrators do not confess their motivation, as was apparently the case here.

You can read more about this case, below.

Andrei Chikatilo was born in the Ukraine on October 16, 1936. He is known as The Butcher of Rostov and The Red Ripper. From 1978 to 1990 Chikatilo abducted and murdered 53 women and children. He was arrested on September 13, 1984 and was held for 3 months before he was released to kill again.

He was finally arrested and put on trial. Because of the nature of the crimes and the numbers that he killed, required police to put Chikatilo into a cage for his own protection during his trial. He was found guilty and executed for his crimes.

So far it no so. The closest active serial killer or serial killers are in two cities in Massachusetts, the cities of Hudson and Marlborough. These cities are located close to one another. They have experienced the deaths of a couple of people that seem suspicious.

Ted Bundy is a perfect example of an intelligent, organized offender more or less self-destructing in disorganized escalation of his crimes. For years Bundy was careful, he planned his crimes, thought out all scenarios that could come up, and that is why he went undetected for so long.

But after escaping from a jail holding cell and fleeing across the country to Florida, he more or less fell apart. The murders at the sorority house deviated from his usual careful crimes of before. He was completely disorganized with the random choice of victims, weapon, crime scene, not to mention there were witnesses that were only a few feet from him as he made his way in and out of the sorority house. His last victim was not much better. 12 year old Kimberly Leach was abducted by Bundy and was soon found stuffed under an abandoned pig barn. He was arrested a short time later.

Many times with serial criminals there will be an escalation of the crimes. Killers may need more violence and thrills just like a drug addict needs a larger dose of drugs to acheive the same high. This is a lot of times their undoing. They get a little careless or may get the feeling that they are so clever that police will never catch them.

Some more comments on the topic.

For the purpose of behavioral analysis, there are two distinct types of crime scenes: organized and disorganized. Occasionally, a crime scene will present elements of both.

Organized offenders are psychopathic and antisocial, irrational but sane. There will always be a specific stressor in the offender's life that precipitates the beginning of his murderous career. These can be related to finances, employment, a marriage, or any close relationship. Disorganized offender is psychotic with non-existent social skills. He works from a spontaneous fury sparked by either anger or passion, drugs or alcohol. If he remains uncaught, he may evolve into an organized offender through experience. Disorganization may arise from the youth of the offender, his lack of criminal sophistication, drug or alcohol abuse, or mental deficiency.

jeffrey dahmer grew up in Bath, Ohio (his house is across the street from mine). he attended revere schools (i do too).

DeSalvo's wife's name is Irmgard.

The Blakely murder was a crime of passion, the tragic end to a tumultuous relationship. Blakely was in the habit of knocking Ellis around, even when she was pregnant. They had just split again after a brief reconciliation and Blakely had ignored Ellis, refusing to speak with her. This seemed to push her over the edge and she shot him at least four times, two while he was defenseless on the ground.

There are very few serial killers who can compare to Charles Manson. He manipulated his followers into committing the murders instead of doing it himself, and so in this way he does not compare to other famous murderers. Other high profile killers are often driven by some sort of sexual perversion, for example necrophilia (Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer etc) or pedophilia (John Wayne Gacy etc etc) but Charles Manson was driven by a combination of his hate of authority - due to his traumatic institutionalized childhood and imprisonment as a young adult, the freedom and liberation of the 60s, LSD, a borderline personality disorder which resulted in self obsession and an ability to use and abuse trust of the people who liked him, his own belief system based on many religions and ways of life that he read about during his early prison life and an obsession with becoming famous - he had originally hoped it would be through his music but murderous infamy became good enough in the end!

A complex individual, like many other serial killers but perhaps his complexities deviated from those of a 'typical' serial murderer.

He has reached a level of international fame that only SOME high profile celebrities and Hollywood stars have reached. He has received more fanmail than any other prisoner in history and much more than most popular celebrities, no other serial killer has ever had this level of media attention or public interest.

Clifford Robert Olson, Jr was a convicted Canadian serial killer who confessed to murdering 11 young people between the ages of 9 and 18 years in the early 1980s. He died of cancer.
