This guy did the dirty work for the police

quote:

The Brazilian serial killer you are referring to is Pedro Rodrigues Filho, popularly known as "Pedrinho Matador" (Killer Petey). Often dubbed the "Brazilian Dexter," he gained international infamy for operating under a self-declared moral code to target and murder other criminals, such as rapists, drug dealers, and murderers. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key facts about his life and crimes include:

The Vigilante Code: He claimed to have killed between 71 and over 100 people. His first targets were the vice-mayor of his town (who fired his father) and a local guard. Later, after his pregnant girlfriend was murdered by rivals, he embarked on a revenge spree against the gang.

Golden Gate Killer crying and yelling about his ex Bonnie is one of the clues that sealed his conviction.

During one attack on July 5, 1978, the serial burglar, rapist and killer reportedly talked about a woman named "Bonnie," while sexually assaulting another woman in Davis, California.

"He is sobbing and saying, 'I hate you, Bonnie. I hate you, Bonnie,' over and over," investigator Paul Holes told ABC News' "20/20."

"He had some anger against what Bonnie, or what he perceived Bonnie, had done to him. And he's taking that anger out on this victim that he's raping," Holes said. "We didn't know, was Bonnie his mom? A wife? Ex-wife? Girlfriend? We just knew that there was a Bonnie in his life."

Nope. He was a suspect early on, but they took him in for a polygraph and he passed. They "cleared" him because of that.

Wow. I don’t recall seeing anything about that. Wonder if any victims from these areas.

He was also a cop and raped women despite having an exceptionally small penis which was perhaps a micropenis.

Green Bay Packer draftee was a serial killer, suspected of killing as many as 44 people::

quote:

Randall Brent Woodfield (born December 26, 1950) is an American serial killer, serial rapist, kidnapper, robber, burglar, and former football player who was dubbed the I-5 Killer or the I-5 Bandit by the media due to the crimes he committed along the Interstate 5 corridor running through Washington, Oregon and California. Before his crimes, Woodfield was best known for having played for the Green Bay Packers. Before his capture, Woodfield was suspected of multiple sexual assaults and murders.

Woodfield has never confessed to any of the crimes of which he has been accused or convicted. Though he has only been convicted of one murder and one attempted murder, he has been linked via DNA and other methods to numerous unsolved homicides in the ensuing decades. Authorities have estimated his total number of killings to be as many as 44. CBS News named him one of the deadliest serial killers in American history.[2] He is currently incarcerated at the Oregon State Penitentiary.

I didn’t realize the killer in Silence of the Lambs was based on a real killer (Ed Gein) until this past year when Monster was released on Netflix.



"Ed Gein’s behavior inspired numerous books and movies, notably three of the most influential horror/thriller films ever made: Psycho (1960), directed by Alfred Hitchcock and based on Robert Bloch’s powerful 1959 book; The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), which also drew from the life of Texas serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley; and The Silence of the Lambs (1991), an Oscar-winning adaptation of Thomas Harris’s best-selling novel (1988)."

Reminds me of another football player that had issues with breaking in women’s apartments.

Golden Gate Killer


This guy really freaked me out along with the other night stalker. His planning and utilization bikes and alleys for escape was extra sinister for me. He started young too.

Something about waking up in the middle of the night with a dude in a mask and a gun to your head is above and beyond the other stuff. So incredibly invasive and skin crawling.

Really sad hearing some of the stories where the male companion was tied up and forced to watch what he was doing under the guise it was only sexual.

No idea what I would do in that situation.

The guy in Gainesville in the 90s was also incredibly savage.

The Golden State Killer (Joseph James DeAngelo) would bound victims with ligatures (often shoelaces) then stack dishes on the man's back and threaten to kill everyone if he heard them rattle. Damn, son.

I'll be Gone in the Dark is an excellent true crime book about him.

I've seen a few different convincing arguments against the death penalty. But after reading a couple of pages in this thread. I can never be completely against the death penalty. In fact, I wish that penalty was even more barbaric.
