Notorious Murderers and Serial Killers

Death row inmates are somewhat more limited than the regular prison population. He can have unlimited mail, but no internet access. He can have TV in his cell no bigger than 13 inches. It seems that Peterson has adapted quite well to his new home, which is very typical for people suffering from APD (anti-social personality disorder). APD's thrive in the structured atmosphere of prison life. He can also further his education if he wants to, although he already has a college degree. He has a limited number of visitors, family members and close friends. And as a sign of our sick society, Peterson receives marriage proposals almost monthly.

Think about stuff that you will do tomorrow and think of your mom or any guardian u live with.

Bulger died on February 12, 1993.

Serial killer Richard Ramirez is of Mexican descent.

Stranger murder is one of the hardest types of murders to solve. But the FBI has put a lot of effort into the indentifing and capture of serial killers. Criminal profiling, although not an exact science, helps decipher psychological clues left by the killer, either on the body or crime scene. Fingerprints are now compared by computers and any matches take only seconds in some cases. Forensics plays heavily in the detection of the guilty. Fiber, hair, blood, ect are a part of every homicide case. Even blood that has been cleaned and even bleached can still be detected, in some cases, years after the crime.* And with these advances in science came DNA. The identifing of each individual's genetic material, unique to every person with the exception of identical twins, has taken crime detection into the 21st century. What 50 years ago was science fiction is now routine police work.

The above advances have made the detection and capture of serial killers far easier than ever before. But any good cop will tell you that it still takes the human factor to make it all happen. There is no way to replace good old-fashioned police work. A combination of intuition and experience is the heart and soul of any homicide case.

*With the use of chemicals such as Luminol, blood, even decades old, can be detected.

I couldn't find any action sites but try this web page www.cafepress.com. They say they have serial killer memorabilia. Good Luck.

Quite likely, yes; however, as the nation, and especially the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting struggle to search for answers to why this heinous act happened, many fingers are going to be pointed in many directions. The sad fact of the matter is that no one will ever know the real and complete reason that Adam Lanza did what he did.

People in the US, and in every nation of the world, are bullied to one degree or another every day. The fact that it happens, and that similar can be seen in the rest of the animal kingdom, is proof enough that it is hardwired into us. Everyone bullies, and everyone has been bullied. This is in no way a defense of the activity. It is simply recognition of its natural existence. The more important aspect of bullying is what we do with it.

What is key to remember here is that no one is ever responsible for what is done to them; they are however supremely responsible for what they do with it. And no matter how painful, no matter how scarred anyone is by the actions of another, it is never acceptable nor valid to blame anyone for your own actions.

Whether or not Adam Lanza was bullied is in large part unimportant. It may have been, or more accurately his reaction to it may have been an element in the crimes he committed, but it can never be blamed for them.

While bullying should never be permitted to continue when it is discovered, it is far more important, practically critical, that we as a society shift our focus from the actor to the receiver. Rather than fill up the media with incidents of bullying, we should be helping those who are bullied to learn how to more effectively deal with it and how to process their feelings as a result of it. Make stronger people, and there will be fewer problems.

I could find no information on this at all. It is possible that a local newspaper may have covered the crime at the time it happened. They will have a record of it in their archives which you can access at their main office.

Henry died while fighting a fire and was reported officially to have died from asphyxiation caused by a fire. However, he was also found to have blows to the head and on that situation fighting a fire, did not explain the bruises discovered on the back of his head. Maybe he did kill him but there is something we could consider. It was 1944 when Henry died. It was not 1888 when the police fail to catch the ripper lacking knowledge and I am sure the cops were not dumb.

I saw a photo of henry lying dead. His head was the only part that got burned. The area around him was not burned. Why the investigation did not get Ed Gain to trial? Maybe the police had a good answer. With the picture I can come to two conclusions. Henry got hit by a fallen branch thus falling forward were his head was burned and received the blows. Ed lost him for a time and founding later he moved the corpse to examine to see if he was dead.

On the other hand, he might have killed him but I really believe the police had found sufficient evidence that Ed did not kill Henry. His death was something considered not good for writing too much about it as you will see in every Ed Gain article. I always say that sometimes documents lead the way in knowing or deducing the truth, something we don't have about Henry. How might read that Ed confessed to killing him. That is not true.

Carl Eugene Watts comited his first murders before age 15 as well Craig Price who confesed to his serial killing at 16 with some killings done when he was 15 or younger. Harvey Miguel Robinson is thought to be one of the youngest serial killers in history. when he was only 18 years old when he was apprehended for his crimes and comited his crime by age 15. Mary Bell was the youngest serial beginning at age 10.

The USA.

/Actually I think you'll find that it is South Africa( I have researched Serial killers for over 15 years)....... I agree with the above answer, and a close second would be South America. Most have never been caught yet. ( I have researched Serial Killers for more than 20 years-I'm 51 years old)

I believe that according to FBI statistics America contributes to apprx. %85 of the world's serial killers. The rest are usually found in other industrialized nations such as Great Britian.

William King

He had a boy and a girl when he committed his crimes but the names are not listed.

Typically, a sociopathic (serial) killer will display three symptomes that are most recogniseable to be charactertraits of killers, also known as the homocidal triade. These three symptomes will display themselves mostly during childhood. They are:

-Starting fires

-Bedwedding

-Cruelty to animals/animal torture

Besides these, there are external factors that can contribute to people becoming killers, for example an abusive household, drugs or alcohol problems and a passive or absent father/mother or both.

every female serial killer phycological profile varies from person to person. to understand this I went to my source Meghan Holohan who by my standards is the person who has studied female serial killers in deep. She gives us her scope on 8 prolicif female serial killers:

Few people think of women as serial killers. Perhaps this misconception is based on the stereotype of women being sensitive and compassionate. For these brutal killers, sometimes the guise of nurturing helped them get in the door, but these ladies are just as depraved as their male counterparts.

1. Delphine LaLaurieEstimated Body Count: At least 10 (but possibly as many as 90)

Story: Delphine LaLaurie was the wife of a wealthy New Orleans physician in the early 1800s. With long black hair and porcelain skin, all eyes focused on her when she threw glamorous parties. Little did anyone know that the slightest mistake from a slave caused Madame LaLaurie to explode in rage. She was charged with cruelty against one of her slaves-when the slave allegedly pulled her hair while brushing it, LaLaurie beat her mercilessly in the garden. Another slave girl jumped to her death from a second floor window to escape Madame LaLaurie. In 1834, a fire ravaged the LaLaurie estate and after the firemen put out the flames, they smelled rotting bodies. Pushing open the attic door, they were startled to see dead slaves chained to the walls, a woman with her lips sewn shut, half-dead slaves in cages, a man who received a forced sex change, women without skin, eviscerated slaves, and body parts strewn about the attic.

Capture: The LaLauries escaped and were never seen again. Years later, during renovations, contractors discovered the bodies of slaves that allegedly had been buried alive.

Punishment: None, though superstitious locals claim Madame LaLaurie suffers the otherworldly punishment of haunting her home, wailing for relief in French.

2. Juana "La Mataviejitas" BarrazaEstimated Body Count: At least 10 (but possibly as many as 40)

Story: Juana Barraza ruled the Mexican women's wrestling circuit as "The Silent Lady," but she became infamous for another moniker, "La Mataviejitas"-the old-lady killer. Starting in the 1990s, Barraza knocked on the doors of Mexico City's elderly women, pretending to be a social worker. Once inside, she grabbed a sock, piece of string or phone cord-whatever was handy-and strangled her victims to death (until blood oozed from their ears).

Capture: In 2006, after strangling 82-year-old Ana Maria Reyes with a stethoscope, Barraza fled from the scene, only to be captured close by. Her prints matched those at 10 of approximately 40 crime scenes attributed to La Mataviejitas. It took police a long time to find her because they were unsure if she was a man or a woman-or a man dressed as a woman, or a woman dressed as a man. Her broad shoulders and the force she used to cause blood to seep from victims' ears made police think she was a man.

Punishment: 759 years, though she may serve less than 50 years

3. Amelia "The Baby Farmer" DyerEstimated Body Count: Police found 12 babies linked to Dyer, but could only confirm she killed six. They believed she murdered as many as 50.

Story: In Victorian England, when a single woman found herself in a family way, she searched for a baby farmer, who raised the child. In the late 1800s, women answered ads placed by Amelia Dyer, a married woman in her 50s who lived with her Christian husband in the Thames Valley region, and would raise the babies (no one saw her husband because they were separated). As soon as Dyer returned to her flat, she would strangle the infant. Placing the baby in a bag, she dumped her victim into the Thames.

Capture: As bargemen rowed across the river on March 30, 1896, they spotted a package. When they opened it, they discovered a dead infant girl. As the police examined the paper, they spotted a faintly written address. Fearing the murderer would run, the police organized a sting operation where a female pretended to need Dyer's services. When Dyer opened the door for the woman, she found the police instead. The police found 12 infants in the river, many with the same string around their necks. Her house was full of baby items and as her crimes were publicized more women came forward saying they gave her their babies.

Punishment: Death. On June 10, 1896, Dyer died by hanging at the Newgate Gallows.

4. Marie NoeEstimated Body Count: Eight-although she had 10 children, two died of natural causes

Story: In 1948, Philadelphia newlyweds Marie and Arthur Noe welcomed their first son, Richard, on March 7. On April 7, Noe rushed her newborn to the hospital-he wasn't breathing. Doctors attributed it to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Noe had a second child, Elizabeth, in September 1950. In February 1951, Noe returned to the hospital, clutching a dead infant. SIDS again. There weren't any marks on the child, broken bones, or bruises, or signs of neglect. Year after year, Noe had a child and a few months later, she arrived at the hospital with a dead infant. Nurses noticed Noe never mourned her children. After the birth of one of her sons, a nurse overheard Noe threaten him while trying to feed him, "If you don't take this, I'll kill you." Some suspected foul play, but no one acted. While giving birth to her last child, Arthur Joseph in 1968, Noe had an emergency hysterectomy. None of her children lived to age 2.

Capture: In 1998, a reporter from Philadelphia magazine wrote a book and said Noe should be investigated because eight children from one family couldn't all possibly die of SIDS. When police interviewed her she admitted to smothering four of her children, but wasn't sure what happened to the other four.

Punishment: She pleaded guilty in June 1999. She was sentenced to 20 years of probation with the first five years under house arrest.

5. Aileen WuornosEstimated Body count: 7

Story: By the time Aileen Wuornos was in high school in Michigan, she was working as a prostitute. After moving to Florida, she was married and divorced and spent time in jail for grand theft auto before she met Tyria Moore, a 24-year-old motel maid. Moore quit her job and Wuornos supported them by hooking. When Wuornos met with Richard Malloy in 1989, she shot him three times with a .22 caliber after he allegedly tried to rape her. A few weeks later, police discovered another naked man shot to death with a .22. In all, police found four more naked men, all murdered with a .22, and a car of a man who was never found.

Capture: Wuornos and Moore were driving in a victim's car when they were in an accident. The duo refused treatment even though Wuornos was bleeding. After discovering the car belonged to one of the murdered men, the police circulated sketches of the women and began gathering evidence against Wuornos. Authorities found some of Malloy's possessions in a pawnshop with Wuornos' thumbprints on them, and after a few weeks of surveillance, the police detained Wuornos on an outstanding weapons charge. The investigators tracked down Moore, living with her sister in Pennsylvania. They offered her immunity if she could convince Wuornos to confess, which she did. Wuornos remained indignant and at her trial, she screamed belligerently. Always her own worst enemy, she shrieked at Assistant State Attorney General Ric Ridgeway, "I hope your wife and children get raped."

Punishment: The State of Florida sentenced her to six death sentences (police never found the body of Peter Siems and didn't charge her for the crime) and she was executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002.

6. Belle GunnessEstimated Body Count: 40

Story: As a 17-year-old farmhand in Norway during the late 1800s, Belle Gunness learned she was pregnant by the son of the landlord. Unwilling to marry her, he beat her until she miscarried. He died a year later of an illness that resembled poisoning, and soon Gunness left for America.

Within three years of emigrating, she married Mads Sorenson. In 1890, Mads became violently ill and died-his death occurred on the only day two life insurance policies on him overlapped, netting his wife $8,500. A physician suspected strychnine poisoning, but the family doctor claimed he treated Mads for an enlarged heart and that caused his death. Belle took the money and moved to LaPorte, Indiana, where she married Peter Gunness in April 1900 and became stepmother to his children. Soon his young son died (mostly likely caused by poisoning) while he was alone with Belle. In December 1900, an iron meat grinder fell and cracked open Peter's skull. Soon after, suitors began arriving with money in hand to marry Belle Gunness and pay off her mortgage. Man after man arrived, always leaving Gunness in the middle of the night. When Gunness secured the money from her potential lovers, she killed them, dismembered them, and buried them in the yard. It was suspected she might have fed some to the pigs.

Capture: None. Gunness fired her handyman, Ray Lamphere-who was often seen digging holes around the house and in the pigpen. She told her lawyer that Lamphere threatened to kill her and her children and burn down her house. On April 28, 1908, fire broke out at the Gunness farm and authorities found four bodies in the basement-all decapitated. Neighbors said the body wasn't her; Gunness was about 5'8 and 200 pounds and the headless corpse was about 5'3 and 150 pounds. Later police found a piece of bridgework, which Gunness' dentist said was hers, but there was no conclusive evidence she died there. The police dug up the yard and found body parts from as many as 40 different people. Police confirmed the decapitated bodies were Gunness' children and stepchildren. Soon families arrived in LaPorte, claiming their loved ones came to Gunness' farm to marry her and never returned.

Punishment: None

7. Delfina and Maria de Jesus GonzalesEstimated Body count: 91 (80 women and 11 men)

Story: In the early 20th century, Delfina and Maria ran Ranchero El Angel, a bordello in Guanajuato (200 miles north of Mexico City). The two recruited prostitutes with help wanted ads in the local paper. When a woman became ill, lost her looks, or was worn out, the sisters killed her, dismembered her, and buried her on the property. If a wealthy john arrived, the duo would kill him and keep his money.

Capture: In 1964, police raided what had become known as "the Bordello from Hell," dug up the yard, and discovered the bodies.

Punishment: Each received 40 years in prison.

8. Enriqueta "The Vampire of Barcelona" MartiEstimated Body Count: At least 12

Story: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, when wealthy Barcelona residents wanted help with love or a cure for TB or syphilis, they visited Enriqueta Marti, who sold expensive curatives. Meanwhile, Marti lured children to her home. Before killing them-she used the rendered fat, bones, skin, muscles, and hair in her elixirs-Marti often prostituted the children.

Capture: In March 1912, two young girls, Angelita and Teresita, escaped from Marti's flat and told the police they witnessed Martin butchering a young boy. Police searched Marti's properties and found body parts, jars of blood, fat, and recipe books written in Marti's hand, specifying the horrific ingredients she used in her potions.

Punishment: Marti's cellmates killed her before she went to trial.

This is impossible to answer due to the fact that the 'segment' wasn't identified.

A serial killer is a person who kills a number of people with a cooling off period between each murder(usually one murder at one given time, but two murders at one time occasionally happens) and these murders may go on for a period of months or years until the killer is caught. Throughout the last three decades the US serial killer rate has risen 940% and it is estimated that by the next millennium it will claim an average of 11 lives a day. Serial Murder is an epidemic, there are at least 35 serial killers active in the USA today who claim one third of the annual murder rate. The USA has 6% of the world's population yet it has three quarters of all serial killers. Not only are serial killers appearing in more numbers in the US but all over the world countries are terrorised by serial killers which are appearing in more numbers year and year after.

Most people have three names. First, middle and last or sir name. It is a common practice that when reporting news, the media use all three names of any given suspect.

The corralation of serial killers and Klinefelter's Syndrome is intriguing but unproven. Named for Harry F. Klinefelter in 1942, defined as the condition of an extra chromosome (female) in males. Most people know that an extra chromosome will result in Downs Syndrome, but few know about Klinefelters.

The condition became better-known at the murder trial of New York serial killer Arthur Shawcross. It was used by his defense attorney as an explaination of his client's violence against prostitutes. Other killers that have this condition are:Carl Panzram, Francis Heaulme, Bobby Joe Long, and Richard Speck.*

Further scientific study will be needed before this theory is indeed a fact.

*This is not a complete list.

I think it is Elizabeth Bathory, she killed over 600 people.

Japan gave the serial killers hitory with 12 serial killers to date.

It is a former police investigator who was charged with killing possibly 100 girls until caught in 2005. His name is Serhiy Tkach. He is an Ukranian.

Anthony Hardy is the serial killer known as The Camden Ripper. Hardy killed 3 women in London, he was found guilty on all counts and is now serving 3 life sentences.

Since the beginning of civilization there have always been been people missing a few too many brain cells, and become a parasite to society. Feeding on the pain and misery of innocent human prey. there are six kinds of serial killers: The "sadistic lust killer" (like Randy Kraft and Ted Bundy) "gets the most attention and adores the feelings of power and control that killing gives him." "Thrill killers" enjoy terrorizing the community and lashing back at society. The "greed killer" wants money, like the landlady who murders her renters and then cashes their checks. "pedophiliac killers" murder the children they have sex with, usually young boys, to get rid of the witnesses. Then they grow to enjoy killing as much as sex, as "freeway killer" William Bonin did. "Black widow serial killers" are often women who use poison to murder husbands or children, often for control or money.

The Unabomber is an example of a "missionary serial killer" who murders for what he believes is a holy cause.

The 1980s had seen an increase in serial murders across the country, especially those that involved uniquely gruesome details. From Night Stalker Richard Ramirez, with his penchant for Satanism, to Robert Berdella's torture of imprisoned men, the 1980s seemed to inspire killers to realize their worst fantasies. In 2010 there are serial killers operating in many states and the number are increasing.
