I have and I like how Dan puts in his impressions of previous Timesuck subjects like Albert Fish or Chikatilo in random episodes.
My most interesting would be Jack the Ripper.

Interesting that de Rais spent a lot of money summoning demons. Was he a serial killer before this, or after. Apparently he was disgusted he wasted so much money summoning a demon unsuccesfully he fired the folks summoning the demon. I wonder if in fact they were successful and ol de Rais just didn’t know what a successful demon summoning entailed.
Here are two more. There is a very interesting book called Satan’s Ferryman (no longer in print) that details these bastards.
Harpe Brothers
James Ford; Civic Leader, Pirate, Murderer

Man, all the elites. No matter what the century, are always into this black magic shite.
At least the bastard confessed to it, no way you can't do that and it not eat you up inside.

Must have been so easy to murder back then.
Even all the way up until security cameras were a thing. I don't know how they caught anyone for anything. A lot of wrong people went to jail.

Yeah, I would say Holmes because the end game of all his business practices and personal relationships was to con or kill someone. He treated it like a sport.
He wasn't like Gacy or BTK trying to live a normal life during the day, and giving into his murderous impulses at night. Holmes' entire existence was motivated by ruining people's lives.
We'll never know everything he did during his life because he was a liar, and he was intelligent enough to cover his tracks. I don't think he gave a damn about anything except seeing how long he could get away with everything. He was top tier evil IMO.

Lots of innocent people being falsely accused either hung or burned at the stake. Mostly the poor. Nobles could kill whenever they liked and probably did it as sport in some places. Sick world we live in.

I am fascinated by HH Holmes.
Even the possible Jack the Ripper angle.

Not pre1900 but early 1900 was the Axeman of New Orleans. Cool with a little local flavor.
quote:
Édouard Martel was an unsuccessful French photographer and inventor who travelled throughout the U.S. during the first two decades of the 20th century, trying to drum up interest and investors for a device that added timer and automatic exposure features to Kodak’s popular line of folding “Brownie” cameras. During his travels he took thousands of automated photos to test and refine his invention. Often he would wake up early, set up a hidden camera in an inconspicuous spot on the streets of whatever city he happened to be in, and then walk to a nearby café or bar, so that he could capture candid scenes of daily life to remember his travels by. The best of these photos were selected for Martel’s one and only gallery show, in Paris, 1924.
Unfortunately, Martel died penniless and unknown in 1955, and it was left to his daughter Jeanne to sort through the boxes and boxes of photos he left behind, to see what should be kept and what could be discarded. During this process she came across this photo, taken in New Orleans on the morning of October 28, 1919, a few hours before Martel boarded a steamer ship and returned to France. It turns out that Martel hated motion blurs in his photographs, because he thought they would reflect badly on the speed and accuracy of his lens mechanism. This prejudice made him cast aside and overlook what was probably the most important photo he ever took.
What makes this photo so special? The night before it was taken, the notorious and still unidentified serial killer known only as “The Axeman of New Orleans” had committed his last murder, hacking Mike Pepitone to death in his bedroom and then fleeing the scene just as Pepitone’s wife was discovering the body. Could this be him returning to his residence? It’s impossible to say, but if it is, the image appears to belie the legend (based on the shaky testimony of Pauline and Mary Bruno, and prevailing prejudice of the time) that only a black man was capable of such savagery.

More New Orleans flavor with Delphine LaLaurie, A Royal St. socialite.
Delphine LaLaurie
This bitch liked to chain, starve, beat, and carve chunks off of her slaves, until dead. Some took years.
One time, when caught, and accused, her husband told the accusers to mind their own fricking business.

Elizabeth Báthory (1560-1614) - AKA The Blood Countess. Though unsubstantiated, some claim that she bathed in the blood of virgins to try to retain her youth. She was Hungarian.

there's a pub near the hotel we stay at in London that I always go to have a pre-dinner pint(or three,) that has a plaque in it alleging that Jack would stop in for a libation before or after his shenanigans because it was right in the heart of a few of his activities and it was the only pub around a that time, they can only surmise because his identity was never discovered

Abraham Lincoln caused 652,000 men to die in a war because he wouldn't let the south leave without blood shed. Funny thing is this country will end up split one day anyhow.
