Serial killers tend to be white, heterosexual, males in their twenties and thirties. Their methodical rampages are almost always sexually motivated. Their killings tend to be part of an elaborate sexual fantasy that builds up to a climax at the moment of their murderous outburst. They usually kill strangers with cooling off periods between each crime. Many enjoy cannibalism, necrophilia and keep trophy-like body parts as reminders of their work. Their violent behavior is mostly directed towards women and children. However some homosexual killers like to hunt gay men. Prostitutes, drifters, male hustlers and hitchhikers seem to be their victims of choice. Most serial killers lived in violent households, tortured animals and where bedwetters when they were young. As adults, most killers have some sort of brain damage and are addicted to alcohol or drugs.

Upon his release he started killing young girls with glee and impunity. By 1978 he claimed to have bagged more than 100 girls in Peru. After a brush with an angry village mob he moved his activities to Colombia and Ecuador where his bloodlust averaged about three kills a week. He found killing Ecuadorian girls quite enjoyable because they were "more gentle and trusting, more innocent." Authorities attributed the rash of disappearing girls to active slavery or prostitution rings in the area.

In 1980 a flash flood uncovered the first of his victims. When he was arrested he told his interrogators the frightening tale of his reign of death. At first authorities were skeptical but all doubts disappeared when he quickly produced more than fifty graves. It is widely believed that three hundred hits is a low estimate for this most prolific serial killer.

In 1976 he joined up with a part-time transvestite and deeply psychotic retard, Ottis Tole, to carry out numerous homicidal escapades. Ottis had a taste for human flesh and had many of his victims for dinner. Henry, however, was not a cannibal because, he said, he disliked the taste of barbecue sauce. He was more of a sadist and a necrophile, preferring sex with mutilated bodies and live or dead animals. The consummate killer couple, they enjoyed picking up hitchhikers to satisfy their lust for blood. Sometimes, when they didn't want to go through the hassle of killing and disposing of their prey, they would just run over the occasional hitchhiker and continue on their merry way. These lethal lovebirds parted ways after Ottis' teen niece, Becky Powell, shacked up with Henry. The unfortunate lassie was later found dismembered and stuffed in pillowcases.

After his arrest, Lucas toured the country as a star killer uncovering evidence of his handiwork for local police departments. In 1985, Dallas Times-Herald journalist, Hugh Aynesworth, claimed their reign of terror was a hoax and that overzealous detectives fed the would be killers many details of their crimes. Henry and Ottis did confess to more than 500 murders. Henry even claimed to have taken the poison to Guyana as a favor for his good friend Jim Jones. One of his alleged victims, a Virginia schoolteacher, was found alive. Henry recanted on all his murders only to confess again when he became a born-again Christian. As he awaits execution in Death Row in Texas, Hank still mentions bits and pieces of evidence linking him to numerous killings in 18 states. Meanwhile in Florida Ottis' was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, death sentence was commuted to six life sentences and is said to be stockpiling barbecue sauce.

When he moved to Chicago he started a drugstore empire from which he made a fortune. He built a hundred-room mansion complete with gas chambers, trap doors, acid vats, lime pits, fake walls and secret entrances. During the 1893 World's Fair he rented rooms to visitors. He killed most of his renters and continued his insurance fraud scheme. He also lured women to his "torture castle" with the promise of marriage. Instead, he would force them to sign over their savings. After he would throw them down an elevator shaft and gas them to death. In the basement of the castle he dismembered and skinned his prey and experimented with their corpses. When police grew suspicious about H.H's activities, he torched the castle and fled. In the burnt hulk of the building, authorities found the remains of over two hundred people. H.H. was caught and hanged on May 7, 1896, leaving behind an impressive trail of blood unequaled for almost eighty years.

Because he was a baron, no one cared about the disappearing children around his castle. A great patron of the arts, Gilles also enjoyed practicing black magic and alchemy. His reign of terror came to an end when the Duke of Brittany dug up the mutilated remains of 50 boys in his castle. He confessed to 140 killings but it is believed that the body count could have been as high as 300. On October 26, 1440, Gilles was simultaneously burned and hanged. His two servant accomplices were simply burned alive.

Pee Wee got back to killing in 1969 when he was out of prison. He made a distinction between his "coastal kills," people he found while driving around the roadways of the American South and his "serious murders," which consisted of people he knew, like his niece and her best friend. Aside from killing, Pee Wee had a thriving business fencing stolen cars for which he kept several properties around the Carolinas. There he also slaughtered many of his prey. His other favorite hunting grounds were the coastal highways where every six weeks he went hunting to quell his feelings of "bother-someness."

In the early eighties, while in Maximum Security, Pee Wee was tagged the "Meanest Man in America" when he killed another inmate. For his little homicidal stunt, he was moved to Death Row. Pee Wee was fried on September 6, 1991. His total hits might well be over two hundred, but law enforcement found it impossible to verify all his claims. In the excellent post-mortem of his life, "FINAL TRUTH," Pee Wee waxes poetic about how he had "a special mind" that gave him "permission to kill."

Chikatilo lived in Rostov, 500 miles from Moscow, where he prayed mostly on children. He stalked many of his victims in train and bus stations and had a penchant for disembowlment and mutilation. He was also a cannibal and a sadist. His macabre twelve-year killing spree was uncovered in 1982. Previously he was taken in for questioning and let go when police found that his blood did not match the semen found in the victim. A little known fact is that the blood and semen of a person does not necessary have to match. There are rare exceptions, one of which was Chikatilo. Free again, he continued on his path of destruction. While he was on trial, his gory descriptions, psychotic behavior and litany of horrors gave the Soviet public their first taste of serial mayhem. Andrei was executed in 1994.

A manhunt was launched across Ukraine in March, 1996, after eight families were brutally murdered in their homes. Most of the victims were in remote villages in the Lvov region near the border with Poland. There were so many killings in one village that army troops were sent to patrol streets.

The killings followed a set pattern. "The Terminator" chose isolated houses, shot everyone inside including children, and torched the place. He would also kill whatever witness crossed his path during his murderous rampages. The first to die were a family of four in Bratkovichi. Another family of five and two witnesses were killed not long after in the same village. When police imposed a security cordon around Bratkovichi, "The Terminator" moved to other villages where he continued his serial slaughter Once in custody, the lethal ex-forrestry student conviniently claimed that his killing spree was commanded by "inner voices" he kept hearing.

The bloody Countess, the widow of a celebrated Hungarian war hero and descendent of the legendary ot Vlad the Impaler, led a life immersed in black magic and sadism. She once had the mouth of a servant sewn shut for being too noisy. In 1612, after countless rumors about her behavior, troops entered her Castle Csejthe and uncovered a blood-letting in progress. All the servants that participated in her orgies of horror were executed and burned. The Countess, being royalty, was put under house arrest. Three years later, on August 21, 1614, she died sealed in her bedroom. Perhaps her elixir of youth had been working all along.

On October 19, 1995, after a week-long nationwide hunt, police shot and wounded Moses Sithole, an ax-wielding ex-convict with six aliases. On February 6, 1996, Sithole appeared in court and was charged with the murder and sexual assault of 31 women. In 1995 police arrested David Selepe and charged him with the murders of 11 black women who were found in a mine dump in Cleveland. Selepe was shot and killed by police when he tried to escape while visiting the crime scene. It is believed that both men acted together in at least the Cleveland killings. Their reign of terror started in 1995 and was centered around black townships near Pretoria and Johannesburg. One or both of these men is also believed to be the "Atteridgeville Strangler" who is responsible for the deaths of 15 women and a boy around Pretoria.

The Zodiac, one of numerous killers obsessed with publicity, sent twenty-one letters to various newspapers boasting of his crimes. He obtained his astral moniker after he scribbled zodiac signs around several of his victims. His killing spree started in 1966 and faded around 1974. The rare survivors from his attacks have described him as a heavy set man with glasses and red hair. In one of his letters he explained that he killed "because it is so much fun." His master plan was to collect "slaves for the afterlife." He also threatened to "wipe out a school bus some morning." Now some believe that Zodiac moved to New York where he continues with his deadly forays.

He murdered with abandon from the early seventies to 1987 when he was finally caught. He claimed that his killings were "mercy" killings even though he sometimes chose horrible substances to bring on death. He also did not limit his work to those hospitalized. He killed a neighbor out of spite by lacing her drink with hepatitis. He would also poison his male lover and then nurse him back to health to win back his affection. On another occasion he poisoned his lover's family, killing the mother. He was convicted of thirty-four deaths but it is believed that he actually tallied eighty-seven kills.

Local prostitutes have suspected the existence of a serial killer preying on them for quite some time. Police have not been as ready to sound the alarm. Three scenarios have been posited to explain the growing list of dead. One: there is a number of serial killers preying on Twin Cities women. Two: there is one or more serial killers and several murderers who have killed once or twice. Three: there is a number of nonserial killers hunting Twin Cities prostitutes. Whatever the case, 34 unresolved killings is an impressive tally to go unnoticed.

He enjoyed handcuffing his victims, anally raping them, beating them to a pulp, offering to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, reciting verses from the Bible and strangling them to death. In 1978 he was tracked down by the police in Chicago. Thirty bodies were found buried in the crawl space underneath his house, explaining his wife's complaints about the constant stench in their home. As a prisoner, Johnny Boy started a new career as an artist, painting mostly colorful clown pictures, which have been shown in galleries nationwide. He was executed by lethal injection in 1994.

When he was picked up again, he confessed to the tune of 33 killings, 11 of which had not been discovered. Over the next few days he uncovered five new corpses for the authorities. The other six victims he dumped in the river and their bodies were never recovered. He also implicated his wife Sofia as an accomplice. They were both found guilty of multiple murders and sentenced to death. On June 18, 1923, they went to the "big horse-show in the sky" via firing squad.

Gerard also considered himself a bit of a novelist, publishing while in prison a collection of lurid tales of sex and gore that he marketed as a mail-order book called Killer Fiction. Oddly, Sondra London, an old high school girlfriend who helped Gerard with his writings, subsequently became engaged to Danny Rolling, another sadistic killer awaiting execution for killing five students in Gainsville. On December 3, 1995, Gerard was found dead in his cell at the Florida State Prison in Starke. He had been stabbed numerous times around one eye and slashed across his throat. His sister, Sarah Schaefer, claimed that her brother was murdered because of information he had obtained on the murder of Adam Walsh, the 6-year-old Hollywood, Florida, boy who's abduction and murder led to changing the legislation on missing children. Coincidentally, Gerard had befriended serial killer and cannibal Ottis Toole who once claimed he killed young Adam but later recanted. Authorities believe Gerard's death was linked to money he collected for his activities as a jailhouse lawyer.

In 1985, Lake swallowed a cyanide pill after he was arrested for a bungled shoplifting attempt. When police reached Lake's ranch they uncovered a "truckload of bones," a body in a sleeping bag, and videotapes and photos documenting their reign of terror. Ng, the only known serial killer with no vowels in his last name, escaped to Canada where he was later arrested for another bungled attempt at shoplifting. After fighting extradition for six years, on 1991 he was returned to California where he is charged with conspiring to sadistically killing 12 people.

A thorough annihilator, he would mutilate the corpses and drop them into a lime pit. Later he started incinerating his ever increasing pile of dead. In early 1944 he was arrested momentarily when he choked the neighborhood with the fetid smell of burning corpses coming from his incinerator. In the basement the policemen called to the scene found 27 mutilated bodies which, he said, were Nazis killed by the Resistance. Claiming to merely be doing his patriotic duty he convinced the cops to let him go. Free again, Marcel promptly disappeared.

After the war Parisians still remembered the stacks of bodies found in the Doctor's home. A newspaper accused Petiot of being a Nazi sympathizer and that the dead were patriots killed for the Gestapo. Wanting to clear his name the doctor sent a letter to the papers claiming that the Nazis had set him up and planted the bodies in his basement.

He was arrested again in October 1944 and charged with 24 murders. During his trial he claimed to have killed up to 63 enemies of France. No one believed his ties to the Resistance. Instead, he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to death. The deadly doctor was guillotined on May 26,1946. It is widely believed that Marcel killed many more and dumped corpses into the Seine. Authorities believe that Petiot was also responsible for several dismembered bodies found in Bois de Boulogne near Paris in 1942.

In 1831, after killing one too many familioes and fearing arrest, she joined a nunnery and took her vows. There she was suspected of offing several sisters before renouncing God and returning to her job as a domestic. As before, people started dying in her wake. Strangely she kept getting hired for new jobs.

She laid off the arsenic between 1841 to 1849 but then started dipping into it again. After two deaths in the household where she was working police started suspecting her after her overtly defensive manner during a routine questioning. Furthermore, traces of arsenic were found in the bodies of the most recent victims as well as many of her former employers. However, Helene never admitted her guilt, In 1851 she was guillotined just the same for her wave of terror.

In December 30, 1977, after a previous failed attempt, Ted escaped prison in Colorado and relocated in Tallahassee, Florida, near Florida State University. There he perpetrated his blood-soaked "Guernica" of crime. In January 15, 1978, he set forth on a night of butchery and killed two girls and wounded two others in an around the Chi Omega sorority house in Tallahassee. Two weeks later he stole a van and killed 12-year-old Kimberly Leach in Lake City, Florida, for which, eventually, he was fried. Poor Kimberly's body was found in a pig trough next to a plaid jacket that was not Ted's. She was buried in a cemetery near a Purina plant under a heart-shaped tombstone with her picture on it.

Ted defended himself in trials in Utah, Colorado and Florida as the police tried to put together a trail of dead girls leading to him. During his various trials, a very self-possessed Ted Bundy defended himself garnishing praise and a legion of female admirers. After numerous appeals Bundy was electrocuted by the state of Florida in 1989. For his last meal he had steak, eggs, hash browns and coffee.

Police brought Arnfinn, the man in charge of purchasing the curacit, in for questioning. First he claimed he bought the drug to kill a pack of wild dogs around the nursing home. Then, inexplicably, he started confessing to killing 27 patients. At one point he exclaimed "I've killed so many I'm unable to remember them all." In 1983 the lethal administrator was convicted of 22 murders. He was handed a 21-year sentence, the maximum allowed by Norwegian law, which would put him back on the streets by 2004.

The "Station Strangler" is believed to have lured his victims away from train stations. Most were found in shallow graves around Cape Town after being sodomized and strangled. One body was found with a note that read: "One more, many more in store." Elroy, his final victim, was last seen boarding a train with Simons at Cape Town's Strand train station. His body was found 10 days later with his hands tied behind his back. According to police, Simons claimed his brother, who was murdered in 1991, was living inside him. He also he heard voices ordering him to kill. Apparently the voices started after his brother sodomized him.

When they were arrested Martha and Ray confessed to 12 killings, though it's believed the actual number is closer to 20. At their trial they kept cooing, holding hands and seemed not to be able to get enough of each other. Their plead of not guilty by reason of insanity was ignored and on August 22, 1949 the deadly lovers were sentenced to death. After numerous appeals, on March 8, 1951 they were executed side by side in Sing Sing prison.

In 1914 Bella was drafted into the military and sent to the battlefield. By 1916 news had returned to the village that Bella died in combat. When soldiers passed through Czinkota looking for fuel, the constable remembered the drums of gasoline in the Kiss household. When the soldiers opened the drums they were startled by the discovery of 24 corpses preserved in alcohol. Apparently Bella, calling himself Hoffman, placed personal adds in newspapers describing himself as a "lonely widower seeking female companionship." Those who answered were promptly garroted and stuffed into 55-gallon drums. Not suprisingly, two of the corpses found were those of his wife and her lover.

After the gruesome discovery, authorities traveled to the hospital were Bella died. There they were told that the Bella that died there was a young man. Apparently Bella had switched identities with one of the dying on the battlefield and was able to escape. There have been subsequent sightings of him in Budapest and persistent rumors have placed him in New York working as a janitor. But in Hungary he is remembered as the one who got away.

Bobby had a long police record starting in Iowa as a teen arsonist. While living in Alaska he had several run-ins with the law involving larceny, assault with a deadly weapon, rape and kidnapping. However, he managed to get away with serving hardly any time for his crimes and lived a normal life as a married man and a hard working and respected member of the community. Authorities first suspected Bob of being a serial killer when a lucky prostitute dashed naked from his plane to escape certain death. While investigating the incident they discovered several other "women of the night" who had simmilar experiences with him. Soon Anchorage police started piecing together a picture of their prominent baker as a manic-depressive arsonist, kleptomaniac, rapist and possible serial killer.

When authorities first searched his home they found 30 hidden weapons as well as mementos and maps marking the location of the graves of his victims. Eventually Bob confessed to 17 killings which he referred to as his "summertime project." Profoundly moral, Bob hoped to forcefully teach his victim a lesson for their whoring and stripping ways. Under heavy guard Hansen was flown by helicopter to the Knik River in the Alaskan wilderness where he pinpointed with great accuracy the location of several graves. In 1984 Bob was handed a sentence of 461 years plus life which he is now serving in the Lewisburg Federal Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania. There he hopes to "become a writer." Eventually, he says, "I'll write my own story." Two publishing houses have already offered him a contract.

Once his victims were dead, Jeff came to life. He enjoyed sex with corpses and was conscientious enough to always wear a condom. Sex with live beings was not as good, he said, because they could get up and leave at any minute. He also enjoyed mutilation and experimented with different ways of disposing of his victims. He once tried to turn one of his victims into a zombie by performing a homemade lobotomy on the man by drilling into his brain and pouring acid into the holes.

When captured, police found three dissolving bodies in 55-gallon acid vats in his bedroom. They also found four severed heads, seven skulls, skeletons in his closet and a penis in a lobster pot. Curiously, he had no food in the fridge, only condiments. In the freezer he had a heart stashed "to eat later." Although he enjoyed munching his loved ones, at the time of his arrest he was rail thin. In jail authorities managed to fatten him up. Jeff met his end when he was viciously attacked by Christopher Scarver, a convicted killer on antispychotic medication, while mopping the bathroom floor in maximum security. The lethargic cannibal died with a mop handle sticking out of his eye socket. At his mother's request, his brain was preserved in formaldehyde for future study.

A year after his death his parents battled over the killer's preserved brain. On December 12, 1995, the absurdist saga over his preserved brain finally came to an end when a judge ruled in favor of his father who wanted to honor his son's request of being cremated. The latest chapter of the Dahmer postmortem involved his personal belongings. A lawyer representing the families of some of his victims planned to auction Dahmer's possesions to raise money for his clients. The city of Milwaukee was outraged by the idea. As of May 29, 1996, Thomas Jacobson, the lawyer representing eight of the 11 families announced that Jeff's estate would be going to the incinerator instead of the auction block after a civic group, fearing bad publicity for their fair city, pledged to pay $407,225 for the famed cannibal's household items.

He enjoyed breaking into houses and calmly killing, raping and partying all night long. He would smoke big, fat joints of sinsemilla as he strolled around his victim's homes playing his AC/DC tapes, spraying satanic slogans on the wall and raiding the fridge. Once he took out the eyes of a woman with a spoon and mailed them back to the crime scene the next day. While in jail he fixed his teeth and tattooed a pentagram on the palm of his hand to flash during court appearances. After getting the death penalty, as he was lead out of court, he exclaimed "See you in Disneyland!"

The initial victims of the crime spree were attributed to an Egyptian national, Abel Latif Sharif who, in custody, confessed to five of the killings. Since his arrest the slaughter seems to have picked up pace bringing the total to 16. At first police suspected a rash of copycat killings. Some believe that the Egyptian was part of a group of sexual psychopaths stalking the city. Sharif claims that many of the killings were perpetrated by a deadly gang of "coyotes" operating near the U.S./Mexican border.

He was arrested after sending a letter to the parents of one of his victims, Gracie Budd, describing what a delight it had been eating her. He was sentenced to die in Sing Sing in 1936. He said, "What a thrill that will be if I have to die in the electric chair. It will be the supreme thrill, the only one I haven't tried." He happily helped his executioners with the electrodes and died a happy man. It is untrue the myth that the chair short-circuited at first because of the twenty needles implanted in his genitalia.

After spending most of the seventies behind bars for sex attacks on young men, Willie was paroled in 1978. He moved back to Southern California where he got a job as a trucker for Dependable Driveaway in Montebello. A year later, his sexual lust turned deadly. Although he used various methods to kill, he enjoyed most strangling his prey with their own T-shirts and a tire iron. William, not being particularly bright, boasted of his killings and kept his collection of newspaper clippings in his glove compartment. Billy boy liked killing so much, he brought along his buddies to share the fun. Vernon Butts, an accomplice in at least five killings, chose to hang himself after being arrested.

Although only convicted of 14 murders, Billy confessed to killing 21 young men. 1982 he was sentenced to death for 10 murders in Los Angeles. A year later he was sentenced to death again for 4 additional murders in Orange County. On February 23, 1996, sixteen years after his deadly rampage, William became the first man executed by lethal injection in California. While awaiting death in San Quentin, Bonin enjoyed playing bridge with fellow serial killers, Doug Clark, Lawrence Bittaker and Randy Kraft who combined have killed at least 49 people. Billy's last meal consisted of two pepperoni and sausage pizzas, three coffee ice-creams and fifteen cans of coke. The 49-year-old killer ate in silence while watching "Jeopardy" on TV before meeting with the prison chaplain. At 12:00 AM he took 13 steps into the death chamber where at 12:08 he was injected with sodium pentothal, pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride. By 12:13 he was declared dead. Sadly for the victims' families, Bonin never did repent for his murderous frenzy.

Posthumously, it was discovered that Billy had received illegally nearly $80,000 in Social Security disability benefits while in Death Row. He started receiving benefit payments for a mental disability in 1972. The payments should have ended in 1982 when he went to prison, but they continued. The money kept flowing until after his execution when the funeral director sent paperwork notifying the Social Security Administration of Bonin's death. As of March 1996, his family agreed to repay the money to the state.

Police have questioned more than 100,000 people and charged seven men with being the elusive killer. The latest accused, Pietro Pacciani, a 71-year-old farm hand, was arrested on January 17, 1993, and was convicted of the seven grisly double murders in November of1994. Pacciani, who has always maintained that he was "as innocent as Christ on the cross," was set free on February 13, 1996, when an appeals court overturned his conviction. The 71-year-old grandfather was cleared "of all crimes of which he was convicted in the first instance on the grounds that he did not commit them." -- a ruling which came one week after a public prosecutor testified that the evidence against the old grandfather was unsound. Curiously, the decision to clear Pacciani came hours after the arrest an alleged accomplice in one of the double murders. Mario Vanni, a friend of Pietro and former postman (showing that lethal postal workers are not singularly American), was arrested in connection to the murders of a French couple in 1985 that were camping in the woods outside the Tuscan capital.

There are twelve other cases in which he is strongly suspected but for which he might never be tried. His other confessed killings remain unproved and, for the most part, have not been investigated. Evans became a local talk-radio phenomenon in Florida when he became a white supremacist, shaved his head, began calling himself "Hi Hitler." He spent two weeks on a talk show extolling the pleasures of murdering the black hooker.

Once she settled in La Porte, Indiana, she started with her deadly "lonely-hearts" venture. On April 28, 1908, her house was leveled by fire. Ray, her farm hand and presumed lover, was arrested and accused of arson and the murder of Belle and her children. Ray said that the female body found in the embers was not Belle. The body was missing a skull but next to it they found Belle's dentures. Apparently she had faked her own death and escaped with a bag full of money. As investigators started digging up the ranch they found plenty of human bones and dismembered bodies wrapped in gunny sacks and doused with lye. Many of Belle's suitors had been fed to the pigs accounting for the numerous bone fragments found in and around the pig pen. Estimates of her murderous habits put her at fifty to a hundred hits. We've chosen to count only her proven kills. After disappearing, Belle was spotted many times throughout the country. Authorities believe that she was last seen in a bordello in Ohio in 1935.

When he was 23 his homosexual relationship ended and he came back to live with his mother and brothers who had moved to Itaborai, another slum on the other side of the polluted Guanabara Bay. There he found a a low-paying job distributing flyers for a shop in the district of Copacabana. He also joined the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God and started going to church four times a week. Despite some idiosyncrasies and his odd and incoherent laughter, his life seemed normal. That is, until April 1991, at age 24, when he started to kill.

Over a nine-month period Marcelo tallied 14 dead. His victims of choice were poor street urchins whom he attracted to deserted areas, raped and strangled. He also practiced necrophilia, decapitated one of the boys, crushed the head of another, and, in two occasions, drank their blood&127;. Later he confessed his vampiric thirst was merely "to become as beautiful as them." Violence in Rio is common and the daily body count is so high that authorities never suspected the growing number of disappearing street urchins to be the handywork of a serial killer. Usually they are the victims of choice for warped vigilante groups trying to clean up the streets. Quite the humanitarian Andrade later confessed, "I preferred young boys because they are better looking and have soft skin. And the priest said that children automatically go to heaven if they die before they're thirteen. So I know I did them a favor by sending them to heaven."

In December of 1991 his killing spree came to an end when he "fell in love" with ten-year-old Altair de Abreu and spared his life. Marcello met the young beggar and his six-year-old brother Ivan in the Niteroi bus terminal. He offered them money to help him light candles for a saint in Saint George's church. The lucky survivor later told police, "We were heading for a church, but as we crossed a vacant lot, Marcelo suddenly turned on Ivan and started strangling him. I was so paralyzed by fear I could not run away. I watched in horror, tears streaming down my cheeks, as he killed and then raped my brother. When he was finished with Ivan, he turned to me, hugged me, and said he loved me." Then he asked Altair to live with him. Scared to death, the boy agreed to spend the night with Marcelo in the bushes.

The next morning, the lovestruck killer took Altair to work with him. When they arrived the office was closed. The terrified youngster was able to escape. He hitchhiked his way back home and told his mother that he had got lost of his brother. A few days later, pressed by his sister, the boy told the truth. In the meantime Marcelo, A truly considerate killer, had returned to the crime scene to tuck the hands of his victim inside his shorts, "so that the rats couldn't gnaw the fingers."

When young Ivan's family went to the police, Marcelo, who had maintained his daily routine, was calmly arrested in the Rio shop where he worked. "I thought you would come yesterday," he told the arresting officers. At first, police thought Ivan's murder was an isolated case. However, two months later Marcelo's dotting mother was called to testify about her son's strange behavior. One night, she said, he left home with a machete "to cut bananas." Apparently he returned the next morning with no bananas. Eventually Marcelo did confess to 14 killings and led police to the remains of his other victims. As Brazil's star killer, he asked police if anywhere in the world there was a case like his, and stated he killed because: "I liked the boys and I didn't want them to go to hell."

Joachim Kroll (14)

A Doctor Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde type, Suff worked as a government stock clerk who helped deliver the furniture for the task force investigating his killing spree. He liked to impersonate police officers and cooked a mean chili at office picnics. He was also writing a book about dogs that went berserk and started killing people. Furthermore, he enjoyed vanity plates and was an avid volunteer in the county's car-pooling program. All of this perhaps explaining his psychotic behavior. On July 19, 1995, Willie was found guilty of killing 12 prostitutes although police think that he might be responsible for up to 22 deaths. On November 1995, he was condemned to death and will probably car-pool to his execution.

A free man, Jack became a knight in shining armor to the literary elite. Within months of his release his success as a writer translated into expensive suits, fancy cars and regular appearances in local talk shows. However, not truly reformed, Jack did keep up with his old habit of strangling prostitutes for kicks to the tune of at least six dead. In 1991 he was hired to write an article about prostitution in Los Angeles. While on assignment he got to travel in an LAPD patrol car. He also managed to squeeze in the murder of three prostitutes before returning back to Vienna.

By February, 1992, police in Austria issued a warrant for his arrest linking him to the deaths of eight women. By then Jack escaped with his 18-year-old girlfriend to Switzerland, Paris and New York, pausing along the way to call newspapers and talk shows in Austria to proclaim his innocence. Following a credit card trail left by the fugitive couple, they were arrested by Interpol in Miami, Florida. While in custody his girlfriend explained they sought refuge in Miami because she "liked Don Johnson."

Unterweger was eventually deported back to Austria where he was indicted for the slayings of 11 prostitutes, including three from Los Angeles. On June 28, 1994 a jury in Graz, Austria, found him guilty of nine of the murders and acquitted him of the two others. The next morning prison guards found him dead in his cell hanging from a curtain rod.

One more body was found under kitchen of a former home at 25 Midland Road, Gloucester. Fred hanged himself in jail New Years Day, 1995. He also faced two further charges of murdering his ex wife and a baby-sitter and burying them in fields near his former home. Authorities believe that Fred probably killed more women. Rosemary, an admitted prostitute, still maintains her innocence. However, she was convicted of murdering 10 women and girls on November 22, 1995. Authorities are investigating the whereabouts of nine other women who frequented their house.

Ness believed the Butcher was a medical student from a prominent and politically active Cleveland family. The name of the suspect was never released due to the family's powerful connections. Curiously, the murders stopped in August of 1938 when Ness forced the student doctor into a hospital. The killings resumed briefly in 1950 when he was let out and stopped when he was hospitalized once again n.

In 1939 the sheriff's department extracted a confession from a Bohemian immigrant named Frank Dolezal. When the confession was questioned Dolezal recanted and was soon found hanged in his jail cell. It is believed his apparent suicide was in fact a cover-up for the brutal treatment he recieved from the police.

While in custody Ken feigned being possessed by a violent alter ego named "Steve Walker." In prison he was contacted by a strange twenty-three year old woman named Veronica Lynn Comton who was seeking information for a book about a female serial killer. Together they hatched a plan to free him in which Veronica would take a sample of his sperm, kill a woman and deposit the sperm sample in her. Good idea but it never worked. Instead it landed Veronica in jail.

At the time Ed was killing there were two other maniacs, John Lindley Frazier and Herbert Mullin, operating in proximity. Police were baffled by the amount of bodies appearing around their peaceful and bucolic surfer community. Kemper, who always wanted to be a cop, was fascinated with the investigation of his and the other crimes. He became friendly with the investigating officers and frequented their favorite haunts to grill them for grissly details.

Like Ed Gein, Kemper liked killing women who reminded him of his mother. On Easter Sunday 1973 he went after the root of his problem. Ed, the consumate mother's boy, beat her head in, decapitated her and threw her vocal chords down the garbage disposal. He then used the head as a dart board. Not satisfied, he called mom's best friend, invited her over and killed her too. After, he drove to Colorado, called his cop friends and confessed. At first they thought he was kidding. What they found at his mom's house made them change their mind. Ed now resides in the Vacaville Prison where he is their model serial killer prisoner with a heart of gold.

On May 26. 1996, in order to find out whether or not they are dealing with a serial killer, Brittish authorities have launched Operation Enigma . The files on the unsolved murders of scores of women over the past decade have been reopened and police will be harnessing the skills of criminologists at home and abroad, including the psychological profilers of the FBI.

The killings go back to January 1987, when 27-year-old prostitute and heroin addict Marina Monti's partially clothed body was discovered on waste ground near Wormwood Scrubs prison in west London. She had been strangled and beaten. Next was Janine Downes, 22, also a prostitute. Her half-naked body was found in a hedge near the Wolverhampton to Telford road in February 1991. She, too, had been severely beaten and then strangled. The other seven victims followed a similar pattern.

"From the general information, such an individual is likely to be personable and not stand out. He is able to blend in because he can approach and solicit victims," former FBI profiler, Richard Ault told authorities. According to Ault such a man would be employed and probably falls into what the FBI categorises as the "organised" killer-- someone of above-average intelligence, socially competent, often living with a woman and driving a well-maintained car who kills after some stressful event.

However the Brittish police is skeptical of the FBI's profiling and computer referencing techniques. They rather find their killers the old fashioned way. James Dickinson, an assistant chief constable of Essex police, who is co-ordinating Enigma, acknowledges some common traits in the nine separate murder inquiries but points out that the investigating teams, having considered all the relevant information, "do not feel that there were sufficient grounds to formally link the nine inquiries."

From 1905 to 1921 Pete was constantly in jail. Once he was out he was free to kill with impunity. Pete earned the moniker "The Vampire of Dusseldorf" because he enjoyed drinking the blood of his victims. He also killed animals when he was feeling thirsty. On occasions he delighted in setting fires to abandoned buildings hoping to roast whatever transients might be sleeping inside.

Like most sexual sadist, Peter also lived a seemingly "normal" life. His wife never imagined such a mild mannered man could be responsible for such ruthless killings. When confessed to the police in his living room next to his wife, she fainted. His last wish was "to hear his own blood filling the sack," during his decapitation. His wish came true on July 2, 1931.

Clepper, a classic sexual predator, told detectives when he was arrested at a relative's house, "I knew it was just a matter of time. I'm glad it's over. " An aquaintance turned him in after he had boasted about one of the slayings. The killings began in 1991. Some of the victims were dumped in garbage bins around Chicago's South Side. The most recent corpse, Patricia Scott, 30, was found April 24 in a trash container behind Calumet High School. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Clepper apparently killed Scott a day earlier at the home he shared with his mother, Gladys Clepper, who along with a friend was charged with helping dispose of the body.

Mrs. Clepper, 46, was charged with one count of concealing a homicide. Eric Henderson, 30, was charged with two counts of concealing a homicide. Apparently Eric had witnessed the murder of an earlier victim and helped dispose of her body, too. With his arrest, Clepper is the third serial slayer arrested in Chicago's South Side in less than a year. The other two killers, Hubert Geralds and Ralph Harris were arrested in 1995.

After leading police to the purse of one of his presumed victims, authorities realized that they had wrongfully convicted two people for the killing. In 1990, Laverne Pavlinac told police she held a rope around Taunja Bennett's neck while her boyfriend John Sosnovske raped and killed her. She then recanted and said that she invented the story to get out of their abusive 10-year relationship. Nevertheless they were convicted and jailed for more than four years. On November 27, 1995, they were released from prison by an Oregon judge. Jesperson, the real killer, cried out of happiness for their acquittal.

Ivan, 51, a road worker, avid hunter and the son of a Croat immigrant, was a non-smoking teetotaler, whose pleasures in life were a four-wheel-drive vehicle, a Harley Davidson motorcycle and a penchant for killing strangers. He was arrested in 1994 in his home in the outskirts of Sydney where police found gun parts, ammunition and knives used in the killings, as well as camping equipment said to have belonged to some of the murdered hitch-hikers.

From 1989 to 1992, Milat was known as "Backpack Murderer" . The brutality of his attacks both captivated and horrified the Australian public. Some of the victims were shot, others stabbed, and one was decapitated with a sword found in Ivan's mother's apartment. He then equiped his rifle with a silencer and used the victim's head for "target practice". Of the seven killed, five were European tourists in their 20s lured to Australia by its reputation as a safe haven for budget travelers. The other two victims were teen-agers from the Australian state of Victoria. Two of the dead were young British women who's disappearance led to the grim discovery of the bodies of all seven hitch-hikers.

Police launched one of the biggest manhunts in Australian history. Their inquiries eventually led to Milat's arrest. The star witness for the prosecution is another British tourist who escaped from the madman's car after he pulled a gun on him avoiding certain death. The kind authorities of New South Wales have offered free accommodations and financial assistance to relations of the victims who wish to attend the trial.

On March 1, 1996, authorities identified the killer as Ferdinand Gamper, a shepherd. After a fifth body was found in a hut near his house, police stormed his two miles from the town. There Ferdinand held two elderly women hostage whom he freed once the cops tear gassed the farm house. The deadly shepherd scribbled "You were too late" on a piece of paper and shot himself . During the assault one policemen died.

Police got its big break in the investigation on June 19, when a prostitute was able to escape from Conde's apartment after he had bound, beaten and sexually assaulted her. DNA evidence was used to match him to five of the killings. After a manhunt costing Dade County more than one million dollars , authorities believe to have finally bagged their suspect.

A typically "disorganized" killer, Chase picked his victims randomly and left as much evidence as he could around his home and the crime scenes. He drained his victim's blood, blended it with body organs and drank it. It was the only way to stop his own blood from turning into powder, or so did the voices in his head said. He also took some body parts home to munch on later.

Chase was arrested a few days after his 4-day bloody swansong through Sacramento. Authorities brought in FBI superstar and acclaimed author Robert Ressler to help find the killer. After his arrest Richie raved about UFO's and other imagined stalkers after him. He died of an overdose of antidepressants in his cell in Vacaville just after Chrismas in 1980.

FBI experts were called in by the prosecution to find a common thread in all the killings. The signature that connected all slayings was circles of blood smeared on all the victim's breast. Some of the victims were stabbed up to fifty times. Prince bragged to a friend about "doing a mother and her daughter," his last two victims, and took to wearing the mother's wedding ring on a chain around his neck. Usually Prince stalked and followed the unlucky women to their homes. There he would break in, take a knife from the kitchen and attack the women. In 1993 a jury found Cleophus guilty of six counts of first-degree murder, 20 counts of burglary and one count of rape.

Her first victim was the janitor of her apartment building who, in 1981, she "helped commit suicide" because he was abusing his wife and children. All her victims were poisoned with fatal doses of medication. One octogenarian would-be-victim died of cancer before she could kill him. However, the resourceful criminal, she falsified his will to pocket a $15,000 inheritance.

His first victim is believed to be a former housemate whose corpse was found in January 1993 under a pile of furniture in an abandoned house owned by the Rogers family. His next known kill was a woman he met at a bar in Van Nuys, California. On September, 1995, she was found raped and strangled inside her burning pickup truck. The third victim, another barfly, was found stabbed to death in her bathtub in Jackson, Mississippi on November 3. Yet another woman's body was found in a bathtub in Tampa, Florida on November 5. His latest victim was found stabbed to death in her bedroom on November 11 in Bossier City, Louisiana.

"He's getting to be like one of your serial killers," said a Hamilton, Ohio, police detective. Rogers, a construction worker, grew up in Hamilton where he had frequent run-ins with the law. Once he poked a lit blowtorch through the peephole of his front door when police came in response to a domestic violence call. Authorities believe that he might be linked to as many as twelve deaths. In California, Rogers is a suspect in four unsolved killings in Ontario and Port Hueneme. Two days before his arrest he told his sister that he was responsible for more than 70 deaths. According to authorities Glen was being cooperative during a six-hour interview after his arrest on November 13. Presently, agents from at least five states have headed to Kentucky to investigate Glen's connection to any unsolved murders they have that fit his deadly traits.

By 1967 he married a Mississippi woman from whom he demanded sexual gratification six to eight time a day. A charming and tactful fellow, in 1969 he tried to rape his mother-in-law in three different occasions. Shortly after the third attempted rape, authorities believed George committed his first killing. By March of 1969 George's deadly habits were in full swing. He first brutally murdered as couple. He tied the woman to the bed, raped her and mutilated her vagina and anus with a pair of surgical scissors. A week and a half later he clobbered to death an 80-year-old widow and mutilated her genitalia with a butcher knife. Four days later third woman was bound and brutally stabbed fourteen times. He attacked his fifth victim in her home on September 11. Neighbors heard her screams and called the police. After a wild chase through the streets of Memphis Georgie-Boy was caught trying to escape all smeared in blood. He was found guilty of all his crimes and given the death penalty. When the Supreme Court struck down the death penalty, George was handed a 497-year sentence. Always the good sport, George chuckled when the judge read him the sentence.

The first crime occurred on June 19, 1995. The most recent killing happened on May 13, 1996. According to Chief of Police Jose Carneiro, the dead women were found tied to the beds, half-naked and strangled. He said that a composite picture of the killer was made, "based on an individual who tried to rape women in the streets." The suspected killer is believed to be black, of average height and between 30 to 35 years old.

Shulman enjoyed picking up prostitutes and taking them back to his apartment for sex and drugs. After satiating his senses he would beat them to death using a hammer, baseball bat or a set of barbells. Bobbie would then chop-off the dead girls' arms so they couldn't be identified and dumped their remains in garbage containers around Long Island. Police tracked down one of the victims from a tattoo on her body. From there the investigators linked Shulman and his blue Cadillac to the dead prostitute.

At first police charged him with killing two women. While in custody he admitted to three other murders. He claimed that he would smoke tons of crack with his prostitute friends, black out and wake up to find them dead.

Police were lead to Del Junco by a street woman who was beat on the head by him nine months before. The woman flagged down a patrol car when she spotted him again. Once authorities had Del Junco in custody they just talked to him -- about his childhood in Cuba, his likes and dislikes. The conversation spanned over a weekend and took interrogators and the suspected serial killer to picturesque Key Biscayne.There, looking across the aquamarine of Biscayne Bay, the38-year-old Del Junco-- a loner who was well-liked at work but kept his distance from the few family members he had in Miami-- confessed to killing and torching four women. Police then took him to the scene of each murder, where he acted out the details of each killing.

Del Junco was charged with the slayings of Vida Hicks 43, Diane Helms 44, Cheryl Lee Ray, 37, and Janice Cox, 37. The victims were killed between August 1995 and March 1996 and were found beaten, burned and partially clothed in or near Miami's inner city. They were all black, but Del Junco said his killing spree was not racially motivated. More than 500 people were interviewed in the investigation and much time was spent trying to track down a suspect known only as "Dread" before arresting Del Junco, a Cuban refugee who camee to Miami in the 1980 Mariel boat lift. Although they have their man, authorities are still looking for "Dread" thinking that he might have witnessed one of the slayings.

Trained as a butcher, after killing his victims he would skillfully cut-up their corpses at the joints using a pen knife to dispose of their body parts. Not the typical sexual sadist, John killed merely for money and credit cards.

The first serial killer to ever be arrested in Singapore, Johnny was swiftly convicted and sentenced to death. On April 19, 1996, he was hanged by authorities. His mother and sister attended the execution. Before she left Britain, Mrs Scripps said: "These bastards have no right to take my son's life. I brought him into the world. I am the only person who can take him out of it." In a semi-literate scrawl Scripps wrote that he gave himself to a god who had betrayed him. "You may take my life for what it is worth, but grant thows I love, pease and happiness."

London's Scotland Yard believe that John also murdered a Brittish tourist in Central America who's bank account in London was milked by Scripps after he vanished. In Mexico City, his ex-wife, Maria Arellanos, said: "John disappeared on several trips and went to the United States and South-East Asia. I knew something awful was happening, but I could not believe he had started killing people." While in prison Scripps wrote a story about how he escaped his own hanging to fall into the arms of his mother and sister. Unfortunately for John, that never happened.

Originally he had been suspected in the deaths of Malisa Roberts, 15, and Lisa Martinez, 16, after he led police to their bodies in a stagnant pond in July, 1995. He claimed to have merely witnessed the dumping of the bodies, but in a tearful seven-hour session with his lawyer and the investigator he broke down and admitted killing the two teenagers, another girl of 13, and a 42-year-old high school caretaker over two months in 1992. After confessing, he took police to the shallow grave of the third girl, Stephanie Blundell, in the mountains east of Salt Lake City.

The murder went unsolved until a few months after Craig's second killing frenzy which took place almost 2 years later, when he was 16. The victims were two white females in his neighborhood. The slashings were so similar that the FBI was called in to profile a serial killer. They failed to finger a 16 year old black male, and it took an observant detective, who noticed Craig with a big cut on his hand, too crack the case. He admitted to committing the murders without any persuasion, and according to the FBI goes down in history as the youngest serial killer in US history. Craig is scheduled to be released from the ACI in Cranston, Rhode Island, in 1998. At 19, his sentence for murder has been served. Now he is serving 2 additional years for contempt. The FBI profiler and local authorities say it is only a matter of time before he is released and starts killing again.

More than 800 suspects were questioned. The three girls came from poor catholic families, were 10 and 11 years old, and all had problems in school. Due to the odd similarities shared by each victim, authorities believe the killer worked in a social service agency, school or other institution that gave him/her access to their family records. On December 8, 1995, a convicted murderer at a maximum-security prison claimed to know the person responsible for the killings.

On Jan. 8, 1975, Kallinger and Mike gained entrance to a house in Leonia, N.J., by posing as salesmen. For the next several hours, they beat, robbed and terrorized the eight people inside. One of the eight, a 21-year-old nurse named Maria Fasching, who had stopped at the house to aid an elderly neighbor and friend, was taken to the basement, tied up, sexually assaulted, and killed. A bloodstained shirt left by one of the intruders was traced by a laundry mark to Kallinger, who lived with his family in a cramped apartment above his shoe repair shop in Philadelphia. Michael, a juvenile, was placed on probation until his twenty-fifth birthday. He is now free and is believed to have changed his name. After his capture Joseph was pronounced paranoid and schizophrenic by psychiatrists. During his New Jersey trial, he sometimes moaned and babbled incoherently. Nevertheless, the jury concluded that he had known right from wrong and convicted him of murder. Joe was given 40 years in jail in Pennsylvania for a series of robberies followed by a life sentence in New Jersey for the murder of Maria Fasching. In jail Joe has expressed repeatedly his desire to kill every person on earth. Once he slashed a fellow inmate's throat and poured lighter fluid on himself, torched up, and tried to fry an egg on his head. After that he was moved to the Farview State Hospital for the criminally insane where he would talk to God whom he said he'll become after death. In recent years, Kallinger expressed remorse, refused to eat and attempted suicide. On March 26, 1996 the cobbler-turned-killer who terrorized New Jersey suburbs two decades ago died of a seizure. He was 59 years old. Now we wonder if indeed he has become God.

A intellectual psychopath, Unabom likes to plant references to wood and forestry in his bombing text. In 1995, in a desperate cry for attention, the moody bomber threatened to blow up an airliner in Los Angeles International Airport during the fourth of July weekend. Nothing came to pass, except that the Unabomber became the hottest publishing commodity in the nation after he requested that his treatise against technology be published by the media. Finally, on September 1995, the Washington Post and the New York Times published his manifesto. On November 6, 1995, the FBI declared that Unabom no longer was considered a terrorist and that his profile was more like that of a serial killer.

On April 3, 1996, Federal Agents arrested Theodore J. Kaczynski, a Harvard grad and former UC Berkeley mass professor, in a remote cabin in the Montana mountains. Authorities believe Ted is indeed the mysterious Unabomber. After a 18-year search, Kaczynski's brother David broke the case when he uncovered old letters in his mother's attic that sounded like Unabom. Through a lawyer David handed the documents to authorities after negotiating that they would not pursue the death penalty. Subsequently Federal Agents set on a three week stakeout around Kaczynski's remote mountain cabin in the freezing wilderness near the Continental Divide.

The cabin, a Spartan hand-built 10-by-12-foot wood and tar paper structure, had no electricity, phone or running water. The reclusive ex-professor's only means of transportation was a red bike he rode into town to buy supplies when the harsh Montana weather allowed. For more than twenty-five years he led a hermit's life in the mountains that would have made Saint Anthony proud. It is unclear how someone living under such austere isolation couldhave perpetrated the series of intricate bombings authorities claimed he did.

To prove their case against the reclusive mountain-man/genius the Feds have "leaked" information to the press about two partially assembled bombs discovered in his home. They also stated that one of his three typewriters " might" match the one used to write the serial bomber's 35,000 word rant against industrialization. They also claim to have found the original manuscript. All in all 700 pieces of evidence were carted away from his cabin before the Feds decided to take the cabin itself to a nearby Airforce base for safekeeping.

On the positive side, after years of isolation Teddy does not seem trouble by his new living conditions. Being back in civilization, Ted has been showering on a daily basis and is enjoying the fine prison cuisine. Apart from that his hermit life seems to remain the same. He still reads avidly and his cell is bigger that the cabin in which he lived for more than 25 years. He has been soft spoken and pleasant with everyone he has come in contact with. However he has not said a word regarding the accusations leveled against him. Perhaps he is saving it for the legions of Hollywood agents anxiously awaiting by his cell door with lucrative deals for the exclusive book and film rights to his side of the story.

In 1993 Karla plead-bargained a guilty charge on two manslaughter deaths in exchange for testifying against her horny ex husband. The ensuing media circus, known as Canada's "Trial of the Century," rivaled the O.J. feeding frenzy that mesmerized the US public. Even the Internet was pulled into the fracas when press reports about the case were banned in Canada and resurfaced in cyberspace. Karla is now serving 12 years for the manslaughter charges and on September 1, 995, Paul was found guilty of all charges and declared a "dangerous offender". He is now serving life with no possibility of parole for 25 years.

At first Charlie was given the death sentence which later was commuted to life in prison when the US Supreme Court declared capital punishment unconstitutional. In 1972 he escaped with fellow triple-murderer Raymond Hudgens and was recaptured within days. On March 20, 1975 Schmid was stabbed 20 times by fellow inmates and died ten days later.

As a child Ed grew up under the watch of his dominating mom. Once she died, he masturbated over her cadaver and got busy working on what would turn him into the Van Gogh of Crime. Ed wasn't too sure about his sexuality. First he considered cutting off his dick, then thought about a sex change operation. Finally he settled on grave robbing and a strange type of transvestite necrophilia. To become a woman he would carve out the genitalia of female cadavers and wear them over his own.

Ed had a knack for fashion and home decorations. In his farm he built The Sistine Chapel from Hell. A devout recycler, he found uses for all parts of the anatomy. He had a belt made out of nipples, a skin vest that he wore on special occasions, mobiles made out of noses, skulls on his bedposts, cranial bowls for soup, drums made out of skin, and the beat goes on. His strangeness was uncovered when police came knocking on his door investigating the disappearance of a store keeper.

Although he was only officially linked to two murders, a couple of "fresh" vaginas were found in his house that could not be matched to his known victims or any cemetery records. He was also suspected of killing his brother and two other men who disappeared near his farm. Many have tallied greater numbers than Ed, but few achieved his degree of weirdness.
