This doctor was no killer. But was made out to one. This man was a genuine human being. Id say more but my meds are kicking in and I'm doing the nod

 

[AnnihilatedAnna]

The zodiac killer interests me.

 

[whatmattersmost]

Same! He was so methodical but fortunately only got caught because of his blood thirstiness. He buried kill kits, travelled extensively and robbed banks. He placed so many demands upon crime agencies before his suicide as well.

How was he able to put demands on crime agencies?

 

[Circles]

Their victims already have been

Very profound and so true.

 

[Jaded]

How was he able to put demands on crime agencies?

Before his suicide, he was cooperating and revealing some victims but he wanted it all kept quiet.

 

[whatmattersmost]

Unfortunately in the Society we live in Nobody remembers the Victims.
I can Name about 10killers & I can't name even one Victim.
I BLAME THE MEDIA HAHAHA

While the glorification of serial killers through media/documentaries/attention is wrong, I think people are morbidly fascinated by them. At least, that's what I find with myself. I'm interested in the zodiac killer, if I had to pick one. I guess.

I watched his FBI interrogation videos that are on YouTube.
The fact that He buried kill kits & came back to them Years later & stuff like that is what really interested Me & Creeped me out.
I wish we could understand why he did what he did.

I admit to that morbid fascination, as wrong as it is. I can't help be curious as to the state of mind, and what actually drives people to do these terrible things.

Paul Stephani comes to mind (weepy voiced killer). those phone calls he made are very... unsettling. seemingly genuine remorse, and yet an apparent inability to stop. is it all an act? is this person truly acting on uncontrollable impulse? whatever the case doesn't make it any less fucked up of a thing to do. but it is very interesting and disturbing to me

Yes. The state of mind thing. I watched a documentary on the weepy voiced killer on youtube. It really is crazy. I recently watched a long but worth it documentary about the Cheshire CT home invasion murders. What happened to that family is really really sick. This documentary goes into a lot more of the history of the two people that did it.

What's so infuriating is it looks like the police could have saved them.

Who's the Vampire one?

 

[Roehannta]

Richard chase

 

[Final Escape]

Jeffery Dhamer

Richard chase

Richard chase

I'm look Him Up.
Never heard of Him.

 

[Lizzie S.]

I think serial killers shouldn't be glorified but Edmund Kemper interests me

 

[Morning Angel]

Ted Bundy is probably the most fascinating for me. So manipulative, traditionally good looking, high functioning, and the necrophilia aspect makes him stand out to me.

 

[PatKat]

James Holmes...

 

[Desperate_Soul]

You got me at good looking. Now I'm on YouTube... 12 minutes in a documentary about Ted Bundy.

 

[Ben]

The zodiac killer

 

[ForensicallyAware]

Manson
Dean Corll
Bundy
Zebra Killers (an absolutely horrific but little known case)
Ramirez

 

[alfie]

Dahmer

 

[TheQ22]

The unabomber (maybe not technically a serial killer?)

The guy was a genius, his manifesto is way ahead of it's time, and he was probably pushed over the edge by a psychological experiment they tricked him into taking.

They basically fried his emotional brain through deliberate humilaition and trauma.

I enjoyed reading his manifesto and some of his other writings.

OT: Herbert Mullin

 

[Mistake of Nature]

Already mentioned, but Ed Kemper is fascinating.

He killed his grandparents as a teenager, spent several years in a forensic psychiatric hospital until fooling them into thinking he was reformed, went on to murder young women as a way to kill his mother vicariously, and then turned himself in once he fulfilled his fantasy and actually murdered his mother.

He's highly intelligent and insightful, but also incredibly manipulative, so it's hard to tell truth from fiction when it comes to the things he says.

Jeffrey Dahmer

I find documentaries about serial killers very interesting and I love FBI files etc.
