It is difficult to determine an exact number of serial killers in Canada. However, according to statistics, there have been around 49 convicted serial killers in Canada since the 1920s. It is worth noting that this number is not comprehensive and may not include all unidentified or undetected cases.

In response to your question, I actually did some research before finding this WikiQuestion. I read on a recently updated website that this baby-crying hoax is exactly that, a hoax. The email has been going out all over the United States and then also traveled to Australia. The original email was sent out from Baton Rouge, LA in the USA. It was based off a man who killed numerous women. He never admitted to luring them out with a recording of a babies cry. Although it might be an internet hoax, you can never be too cautious.

If anything is ever at your door that is out of the ordinary, and you're home alone.. call the local police. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry and they'll understand. Just don't cry wolf often, or the police will take their time getting out to your place if a real emergency is happening.

The Hillside Stranglers Kenneth Bianci and his cousin Angelo Buono, Leonard Lake and Charles Ng, Charles Starkweather and Carol Fugate, these are probably the best known.

Alcala was sentensed to death in 2010 after killing 5 women.

The Ripper's MO was typical for this type of killer. Prostitutes make easy targets for predators with their "high risk" lifestyle, so it is no surprise when they turn up dead. Jack the Ripper cut the throat's of his victims making it impossible for them to scream for help. Once silenced, he would mutilate the victim's torso in obvious rage, complete with sexual connotations. Although it seems doubtful that the killer "consummated" the act with typical rape, these murders were about power and sex. His later victims also suffered severe facial mutilation as well, most likely to de-humanize them, reducing these women to garbage, leaving them to bleed out in the gutters of Whitechapel. It took incredible nerve to commit such crimes on the street where he could have been caught in the act. This probably added to the killer's excitement.

His name, BTK, was taken from a quote from a letter he wrote to a newspaper in which he wrote "BIND them, TORTURE them, KILL them, B .T.K."

Three known: Ed Gein, David Spanbauer, Jeffery Damher.

Many were some form of foster care but mostly boys homes. Examples Charles Manson boys home, Carl Panzram boys reform school, and there are plenty that should have gone to foster homes, but instead lived with abusive parents. (main reason some of them turned out serial killers.)

borderline cult was a story about three serial killers not based a true serial killer.

"Ivan the Ripper"

A decade after Vladimir Ionosyan sparked a local panic with the "Mosgas" murders, residents of Moscow circulated rumors of another homicidal maniac at large. According to reports, the slayer was a fair-haired, handsome young man, armed with a cobbler's bodkin or similar instrument, who trailed his female victims from the ornate subway stations, stabbing them to death in nearby streets and alleys.

The essential feature of the antisocial personality disorder is a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and the violation of, the rights of others. Desalvo most certainly qualifies.

I am going to assume you mean the ranch that Charles Manson and his 'family' lived at before and right after the Tate-LaBianca murders. The ranch was an old movie set called Spahn's Movie Ranch. It was located east of L.A. and I can imagine it was no Garden of Eden. Hot and dry beyond belief, but a good place to hide from the law.

Both the prosecution and defense need to prepare for trial. Depending on the case, that could take several years. This was the case with Arias. She delayed several times, possibly to avoid the inevitable.

Eric Robert Rudolph (born September 19, 1966), also known as the 'Olympic Park Bomber', is responsible for a series of anti-abortion and anti-gay-motivated bombings across the southern United States between 1996 and 1998, which killed two people and injured 111 others.

It was a picture of Gacy and the president wife.

He was sentenced to death but died on Death Row on June 7, 2013 - his sentence was never one of those commuted but would likely have been life without parole.

Serial killers driven to act out the brutality repeatedly, leave psychological markers. In multiple-victim cases, we always look to see if there is a signature so we can tie victims together. The Green River Task Force's internal investigative tool, unknown to the public was a 12 page FBI profile psychological profile of the Green River killer, written by John Douglas, then an FBI special agent with the Behavioral Science Unit, Quantico, VA in the summer of 1982, revised in 1984. The profile was never made public.

He was basically a serial killer.

XYY syndrome is an aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes in which a human male receives an extra Y chromosome. A popular misconception in the 1960s and 1970s that XYY males were more prone to criminal behavior led to several novels and TV series which exploited the idea with little regard to the science.

Melvin Foster was the falsely accused taxi-driver. As a 63-year-old retired taxi driver and ambulance medic, he fit the profile of the Green River Killer and quickly became the focus of the investigation. After the real killer was caught, Foster was quoted as saying, "My refusal to bow, now they know why." The man's name is Melvyn Foster, taxi driver by profession. Foster was of extreme interest to the Green River task force for quite awhile. He knew several of the victims, and in fact one stayed with him for a short time. He sometimes acted strange and wanted to be helpful and inject himself into the investigation. Many killers act exactly this way.

He could have saved himself a lot of trouble and minded his own business, but for some reason that proved impossible for Foster. But like with so many other suspects in this case, it all went south. Until Gary L. Ridgeway.

Charles Raymond Starkweather (November 24, 1938 - June 25, 1959) was an American spree killer who murdered eleven people in Nebraska and Wyoming during a two-month road trip with his teenage girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate. Charles Raymond Starkweather (November 24, 1938 - June 25, 1959) was an American spree killer who murdered eleven people in Nebraska and Wyoming during a two-month road trip with his teenage girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate. Charlie Starkweather, a diminutive 19-year-old garbage truck driver from Lincoln, Nebraska, didn't begin killing in earnest until January 21, 1958. This was the day when he visited the home of his girlfriend, Caril Fugate, aged 14. While awaiting her return, Starkweather got into an argument with Fugate's mother. When she tried to slap him, he grabbed a rifle and shot her. Seconds later, Fugate's stepfather was similarly dispatched. Minutes later Fugate arrived home, at which point Starkweather stabbed her 2-year-old half-sister to death. Then, after pinning up a notice in the window that read "Every Body is Sick with the Flu," the couple hunkered down for the next six days, watching television, having sex, gorging themselves on fast food. In that time various people visited the house and met the two teenagers. No one noticed anything out of the ordinary. Another week passed before they were captured. In that time they had gone on a killing binge across Nebraska, littering the highway with bodies, until their final tally reached 11 victims. When eventually arrested, Starkweather mugged for the cameras like some psychotic James Dean, cigarette drooping from his mouth-America's first rock 'n' roll killer had just been born. By this time Fugate had already washed her hands of him.

Peterson was supposed to have had a partial golf scholarship to Arizona State University but when asked the golf coach could not remember Peterson and was in doubt that he had a scholarship. The rumor was that Scott had the talent for high school golf but was not good enough for anything more serious, such as a pro.
