Gary Ridgeway. Convicted of 49 murders, very well possibly committed up to 60.


He killed hookers that no one cared about unlike sorority girls and teenage boys. That’s why people don’t hear as much about him

serial killer fact

I don't know the number, but isn't the average IQ of a serial killer pretty high?

I guess it takes some smarts to be able to get away with enough murders to become a serial killer.

Didn't Bundy break out of court?



He broke out twice. Once when he was allowed to use a legal library in a courthouse with no guard in the room, although stationed outside the door. He opened a window and jumped from the 2nd floor and got away.


Second time he was in jail, lost a lot of weight and squeezed through a ceiling vent. That is when he went to Fla. and killed those gals at FSU and a 12 yr. old girl walking home from school.

That is where his killing ended after being arrested, convicted and eventually put to death.

When police raided the Wisconsin farm of Ed Gein, they found a nightmarish scene. Gein had not only killed two women but had dug up numerous graves to construct household items—including chairs made of human skin, a skull bowl, and leggings made of human flesh—which he claimed was an attempt to physically recreate his deceased mother

There's an urban legend that the song is about a serial killer - but that story has been proven fake many times.

They caught the Original Night Stalker 32 years after his last murder through DNA sent to a genealogy site by someone related to his great-great-great-great grandfather.

Read Robert Durst, a real estate heir worth hundreds of millions, agreed to be interviewed for an HBO docuseries called The Jinx while being linked to multiple murders. In the final episode, he forgot his mic was still on, went to the bathroom, and muttered to himself "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." He was arrested the morning the episode aired.


He was at Hunts here in Geismar not long after that. Buddy is the head pharmacist there. Said he was wearing a diaper. Idk if he’s still there or if he’s even still alive

Him getting away with the Galveston murder was something else. No matter what he claimed happened between him and the victim, afterwards he dismembered the body and got rid of it. Clown jury.

The Ed Gein story always disturbed me because how can someone be that messed up in the head? That’s when I started believing the devil is amongst us.

When Bundy busted out the second time, he bought a plane ticket and flew to Michigan hoping to trick authorities into thinking he fled to Canada when he intended to head south. He went to a bar in Ann Arbor and watched the Rose Bowl which was Michigan v. Washington. Bundy was from Seattle and a big Washington fan. Washington upset Michigan and Bundy was the only person in a bar full of Michigan fans cheering for UW. This drew a lot of attention and dirty looks.

Later he stole a car and drove down to Florida. There was a poster on the Auburn board who says he was helping his girlfriend move into an apartment somewhere in Alabama that weekend. While he was inside the apartment moving something, he swears Bundy approached his girlfriend in the parking lot asking if he could help her and asking a bunch of weird questions. When he walked out Bundy changed his tune and left. They didn't know who he was until the FSU stuff broke a few weeks later. They swore up and down it was him. The timeline fit but who knows. Crazy dodge if true. A lot of serial killers probably bail if things aren't just right. A lot of potential victims probably don't know how lucky they were.

Green River Killer, right?


BTK was pretty prolific too.


However, the heaviest body count was a Colombian. "Monster of the Andes. He was convicted of 110 murders in Ecuador and confessed to over 300 killings across Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador!
