    That implies that he may yet be caught.

    Ted Bundy was an interesting one. The many faced killer who drove a VW beetle.

    Pretty tasteless thread, right up there with most memorable murders.

    Who in hell has a 'favourite' serial killer?

    Oh serial! I thought it was cereal.


    Yes, even more tasteless now.

    How about your favourite lethal virus or favourite despot

    Going on the documentaries I've seen, the answer is millions of American women.
    Apparently it's a thing.

    If I hadn't met the missus who knows what I might have done.......

    God she saved so many lives :D

    But seriously, it's a light-hearted, slightly weird thread. I wouldn't go taking it to heart. Likewise any of the other pish that gets posted in this forum.

    Bonnie & Clyde had nothing on The Ken and Barbie Killers (Karla Homolka & Paul Bernardo).

    That couple were fcuked up. Frighteningly, she's no longer in prison and living under a new name.

    Weird topic i guess but for me, Dennis Rader.
    The lack of remorse and "matter of fact" way he speaks of his victims is just mind boggling.
    There's something really intriguing about the personalities of these creatures

    The Original Night Stalker/East Bay rapist. The man committed over 50 rapes and 12 murders across California, sent letters to the press, taunted his his surviving victims with phone calls and was never caught. He's the reason California started taking DNA samples from every person convicted of a felony because they were hoping to find him since they have his DNA from crimes scenes. But so far, no luck.
    I don't like the word "favorite" here but to me it's one of the most intriguing serial killer/rapist cases.

    Wouldn't be a favourite but the most interesting and frightening one for me was Carl Panzram. If you doubt or don't even believe in the existence of actual evil this creature is worth reading about. When they caught him some prayer group thought they could reason with him, asked him why he had done the horrific things he did "I wish the whole of humanity had one single neck so I could strangle it" he told them. When they were about to hang him, the executioner made some mistake with the contraption, and Panzram's final words were "Hurry it up you Hoosier bastard! I could have killed 10 men in the time its taking you fooling around"

    Hadn't heard of him before but that must surely be who the character in AHS "Hotel" was based on!

    Dennis Nilsen (wikipedia). Strangling Hobos and quite possibly, eskimo kisses. Very english, very eighties..

    I like to think he inspired Krombopulos_Michael..

    "Oh Stephen, here I go again"
