Volumetrix Serial Killers
Serial killers have really made the lime-light in the past couple of years. From television to books and films, there is hardly a place we cannot find them. Whether they are portrayed as or heroes, we cannot get enough of them and their ghastly deeds. Unfortunately, these fictional characters give rise to a multitude of, and most of us could not pinpoint a true serial killer simply by looking at them.
The simple, appalling truth is that they can be anyone, anywhere and you will never suspect them. The following killers may in fact be living near you. The Long Island Serial Killer – USA (10-14 Victims) Several remote beach towns have become the dumping grounds of the over the past 15 years. As the killer has been active for many years, his techniques have evolved as he gains confidence. At first, victims were dismembered and their body parts scattered at various locations.
The more recent victims, on the other hand, were found intact. All of them were dumped unburied, underneath thick brush, very close to the roadways. According to FBI profilers, the elusive killer premeditates his attacks, and he may have ties to law enforcement as he clearly displays and advanced knowledge of police procedures. He’s also very familiar with the south shore of Long. Gay Serial Killings – South Africa (9 Victims) have been murdered in during the past year. It seems like the killer meets the men online, gains their trust, and murders them after being invited into their homes.
Serial killers, the largest list on the web. Biographys, victims photos, and video interviews of these murders. Learn why these ruthless killers do what they do. Confessions of a Serial Killer is a 1985 American horror film directed by Mark Blair. Preceding Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer by one year, the film details a. Devolving Killers. Category page.

Activists have asked all gay men to be extremely vigilant when they invite strangers into their homes. Amid accusations of incompetence, the police only recently confirmed that the killings form part of a serial killer investigation. They also believe a gang or copycat killers are targeting men in Johannesburg and Cape Town, as three suspects have already been arrested. However, the killings have continued unabated.
The Jennings Killings – USA (8 Victims) Jennings, Louisiana has been stuck in a state of perpetual terror since May of 2005. Eight women since then have been found murdered, all dumped close to the small town’s back roads. All the women had two things in common: they hung out at a one-room bar on the wrong side of town, and they all had issues with. The local residents firmly believe one of the town’s police officials is involved in the murders, and the rumors have led to countless conspiracy theories of cover-ups and twisted politics. Jennings police have so far of full on admitting that they have a serial killer on their hands, as the women were from different races and the methods by which they were sadistically murdered were different each time.
However, the similarities listed above make this an epidemic that the cops simply cannot ignore for very much longer. Edgecombe County Serial Killer – USA (10 Victims) In Edgecombe County, North Carolina, have disappeared since 2005 — nine have since been found murdered. All the women and one man (a cross-dressing male found dismembered) were involved in sex trades and had issues with substance abuse. The killer, also known as “The Seven Bridges Killer,” is almost certainly still at-large. A man named Antwan Maurice Pittman was convicted of one of these murders in 2011, and some suspect him of being the Seven Killer, but the majority consensus is that it’s not him. Bitter local residents feel that police for too long, quite possibly due to the still-hostile relationship between law enforcement and African Americans living in the area.
They believe many lives could have been saved had the police acted sooner. Kigali Prostitute Killer – Rwanda (15 Victims) Since July 2012, 15 prostitutes have been horrifically murdered in the town of Kigali, Rwanda. All of them were found strangled and, in the most notorious murders, three women were killed in broad daylight after entering their home with two men. That the killings were motivated by squabbles over money, or possibly motivated by revenge after a contamination. Neighbors of one victim claimed that the words “I will stop once I have killed 400 prostitutes” were carved into her stomach, but police have dismissed it as a rumor. In September 2012, however, the Rwanda National Police declared that two suspects were arrested, but the investigations were still ongoing.
Mexicali Ripper – Mexico (44 Victims). The multitude of in Mexicali since 2008 have shown such remarkable similarities that officials now firmly believe that a serial killer, or possibly multiple serial killers, are actively targeting women in the city.
Some are even speculating that the killings may be the work of an entire family. Of those murdered, only two were not prostitutes. In some of the cases, the victims were dismembered, and their remains were dumped in desolate spots. Mexican officials are usually shy to admit the existence of a serial killer due to the vast number of organized crime-related murders; this changed in July 2011 when the attorney general confirmed these murders were not drug or crime related, but definitely the work of a madman. The Smiley Face Killer – USA (200+ Victims) Although many believe the to be nothing more than an urban legend, the frightening number of young men drowning all over the USA has finally been noticed by the FBI.
In each of the 200+ cases, a young man disappeared after a late night of partying, and was found drowned after a certain time. The Smiley Face theory came about when two retired NY detectives examined the evidence and found graffiti depicting the smiley face at many of the drowning sites. They then proposed that the nationwide drownings were not accidental, but rather the work of a serial killer. Investigations by have disputed this theory however, claiming that is the main culprit. Be that as it may, families and friends of the deceased have questions that nobody can answer, and until someone does, the death toll just keeps on climbing.
The Highway Serial Killings – USA (450+ Victims) Here’s a case where the serial killer isn’t one person, but quite possibly a. In 2004, the FBI announced the “Highway Serial Killings Initiative,” after ViCAP analysts discovered patterns in female bodies dumped off US highways. Most of the 450+ victims were involved in the trade or otherwise had high-risk lifestyles, and were picked up at truck stops or service stations. Long haul truck drivers became the immediate suspects; to date, at least 10 suspects have been arrested in connection with some of the murders. Unfortunately, hundreds of these killings and more murders occur every month. Apart from truck drivers, the FBI also believes that these killers may be people who need to use the highways daily, due to their specific occupations. The Karachi Child Killer – Pakistan (15 Victims) A particularly is on the prowl in Mobina Town, Gulshan-e-Iqbal.
Five children have already disappeared this year, of which three bodies turned up and two are still missing. In 2012, eight of the 10 reported missing children were found murdered, all of whom had been raped and horrifically tortured as well. The killer gets so carried away during the murders that some of the children have been found with their organs gouged out and their necks torn open.
According to the National Helpline, there has been a sharp rise in abductions and murders in Karachi, with more than 190 reported cases of missing children since January. Most of the reported cases came from Mobina Town, Sachal Goth, Mehmoodabad and Sharea Faisal. The Predator of Ciudad Juarez – Mexico (500+ Victims) Ciudad Juarez is believed to be the in the world. Apart from being the home base for various drug cartels, it has a long history of barbarous crimes committed against women. Since 1993, more than have died at the hands of vicious killers.
Many of these cases have been solved, and the perpetrators jailed, though those were usually members of gangs, cartels, and various. Something, or someone, far more sinister lurks to this very day. Roughly a third of these murder cases are so similar, that they can only be the work of a serial killer. Unfortunately, this killer has not been found, and the female disappearances and murders continue to escalate to this very day.
“Over the past several years, law enforcement and the FBI have received information about young, college-aged men who were found deceased in rivers in the Midwest. The FBI has reviewed the information about the victims provided by two retired police detectives, who have dubbed these incidents the “Smiley Face Murders,” and interviewed an individual who provided information to the detectives. To date, we have not developed any evidence to support links between these tragic deaths or any evidence substantiating the theory that these deaths are the work of a serial killer or killers. The vast majority of these instances appear to be alcohol-related drownings. The FBI will continue to work with the local police in the affected areas to provide support as requested,” said Supervisory Special Agent Richard J. Kolko, Washington, D.C. Good list, thanks.
It’s not right to push guilt on the FBI’s BAU group. Due to lack of govt. Funding, there is only 1 BAU group to handle the entire country. Every person needs to be more alert and outspoken when they see behavior that most of us know are the classic childhood traumas that most of the caught serial killers seem to share. In addition, as adults, they are typically solitary or have autonomous jobs, (they work alone) and they cannot stay in a long term relationship.
There are always exception. I speak as a survivor of a brutal rape and torture in 1986. Some time later, I married, what I thought was a very kind, compassionate, charming prince.
Instead, he turned into a very physically sadistic mysoginist. The more cruel and painful, the more intense his pleasure became. This went on for 12 years until the authorities finally intervened. I am by no means a martyr; surviving isn’t always easy and even after years of therapy, some wounds will never completely heal. Only good thing that came out of those things is the ability to read someone very quickly.
With all that being said, the BAU can lock onto predators quickly; it’s usually all the “red tape” that holds up an investigation. Criminal suspects have more rights than their victims, living or dead. It’s all our responsibility to keep each other safe, keep your eyes open and work with the authorities when you suspect foul play. How many women did Dennis Rader terrorize and it went unreported and/or ignored? How many times and years did the FBI know that Gary Rideway was The Green River Killer but HAD TO WAIT for him to screw up royally before they could get the appropriate warrant. The authorities knew Gacy was their man but had to wait forever for the appropriate warrant. To much red tape.
This one is really pathetic. Dahmer building stunk so horribly of decomposing flesh but no one in the building called the health or police department When your at a truck stop, gas station, park, mall or strip mall pay attention to what is happening around you. Get a bad feeling, get help or offer help. You never know whose life you might save!
I’m sorry you went through such horrors, but please do not stereotype introverts who are self-employed and single as serial killers! None of the killers you mentioned were self-employed or working from home. Gacy worked in a restaurant. Ridgway and Dahmer worked in factories. Rader probably did work alone much of the time installing security systems and later catching dogs, but he’s the only one of those you mentioned who did. If you want to make an occupational generalization, you might say these guys all worked unskilled or trade jobs, but that’s the most they had in common in that department, and you certainly can’t cast all people in blue-collar jobs as serial killers.
As for long-term relationships, three of the four killers you referenced were married. Two of them even had kids! So you really can’t use marital status to generalize, either. What strikes me about your comment is that the very guy who abused you came off as a “kind, compassionate prince charming” when you met him. So you should know from experience that sickos can easily masquerade as normal, even upstanding people.
Here are the real factors that are associated with psychopathy: 1. History of childhood abuse. History of violence toward animals, children, and/or women (basically anyone weaker than they are). Lack of empathy. Lack of moral compass (pathological lying, manipulation, repeated sexual infidelity, criminal activity). And that’s pretty much it.
Serial killers are as likely to be charming and gregarious as they are to be loners. They are as likely to work with other people as they are to work alone. They are as likely to be married as not.
You can’t infer anything about a person just because they’re quiet and reserved, work alone, or haven’t married. In fact, it’s quite discriminatory and dangerous to go around saying that you can. Introverts and singles already face a lot of prejudice just for deviating from cultural norms, and it’s both unfair and inaccurate to compound it by lumping them in with murderers!
I believe that more funding should be provided for the Law enforcement Units that investigate these serial killings. The FBI has very highly intelligent investigators, profilers, psychiatrists and the best Crime Labs as well as Forensic Teams. These cowards who are murdering to get some kind of gratification, have to be stopped. I personally know,someone who was murdered viciously, they stabbed her over 80 times as well raped and tortured, it is still unsolved since November of 1991 in Miami Lakes,Florida her name was Lina Fernandez.
Ted Bundy
Anyone with information please contact Miami Dade Police Dept. I was physically, verbally, mentally and emotionally abused by my father and sexually abused by a great uncle. I am not an abuser, nor would I maim or mutilate anyone. I don’t deny haveing trust issues. I can spot an abuse victim because I have been there. I was married twice and also divorced twice, apparently I was too trusting!
I have seen many things in my life. I believe the smiley faced killer to be a white male, skinny, brown hair, kind of reminded me of a young kris kristoferson, the way his hair, mustache and beard, almost six foot or above, he wears a camoflage military coat, not digital. I saw him deposit a type of black suitcase in the ditch and a smiley face drawn with a stick in the dirt. Saw it between wakeing and sleeping.
I am not a physic. I just sometimes see things past, present and future things.If this helps great. By the way I do not like anyone denigerating anyone else. That woman was plainly saying she did not recognize an abuser because she was conditioned to it, and that people shouldn’t ignore these things, say something!
God gave you a voice use it! Central Wisconsin has a few look alike-s doppelganger ten most wanted men here and and because of the problems of weather and earthquakes, forest fires and so on I wouldn’t go in any woods alone anymore because we don’t have that problem here and our state is a good hide out scenario in Wisconsin, back to the olden days again like in the 1920s, but what the heck if they match all the descriptions and they have others with different colored look the same in their own family, man they could play some real big games on the people and the police! Show had a doppelganger look alike a few years ago, it was reported to his web site I guess but to no avail!! Another itemtake along look at all the pictures in the your papers people are all starting to look all alike and its kind of scary in a way, so you almost can’t trust whom you speak to anymore!.
10The Bowraville Killer In 1991, a 16-year-old Aboriginal girl named Colleen Walker-Craig disappeared from her hometown of Bowraville, New South Wales. Three weeks later, a four-year-old named Evelyn Greenup vanished. A short time after that, a 16-year-old boy named Clinton Speedy became the third youngster to go missing. Two weeks later, Clinton’s body was found in the hills that surrounded the town, shortly followed by Evelyn’s. Both had been killed by a blow to the head. Colleen’s body, although her clothes were discovered in a nearby river.
What had been a frantic missing persons hunt became the quest for a serial killer. In the 23 years since the deaths, only one major suspect has emerged—Jay Hart, a white laborer in his mid-twenties with a record of supplying drugs to the Aboriginal community. Witness reports claimed he also had a history of violence against women and a reputation for making sexual advances toward teenage girls, including Colleen. In 1994, Hart was acquitted of the murder of Clinton Speedy. Prosecutors weren’t able to bring a case against him for the death of Evelyn Greenup until 2005, when he was once again found not guilty.
Due to the lack of a body, no one has ever been tried for Colleen’s disappearance and presumed death. Hart moved away, changed his name, and set up a new life. A newspaper in 2013, discovering he was employed working with troubled Aboriginal youths. In November 2013, the state’s attorney general announced a into the deaths. 9The Vending Machine Murders At least 10 people were killed by the strange series of murders that shocked Japan in 1985. The killer poisoned dozens of bottles of juice and soda and hid them throughout the country.
The poison used was a herbicide named paraquat, which has also been frequently used as a method of suicide. The bottles would usually be placed in the machine’s dispensing chute. When someone bought a drink they would end up with two bottles and accept the unexpected drink as a stroke of luck. After a few mouthfuls, nausea would set in. After a day or two, breathing would stop.
On top of the 10 dead, at least 35 people were poisoned but survived. Media coverage of the crimes was accused of inspiring copycats, one of whom left poisoned milk in schools. More than a million warning stickers were placed on vending machines around the country. However, the case remains unsolved. In 1998, another series of random poisonings shook the country.
Curry was discovered at a community food festival, killing four people and causing 60 more to fall ill. Vending machines once again became a target, with poisoned tea sending dozens to the hospital. Copycats were once again blamed for many of the poisonings, suggesting Japan’s problem goes much deeper than a single rogue maniac. 8Daytona Beach Killer Between late 2005 and early 2008, were found dead in Florida’s Daytona Beach. In each case, the women had been shot, execution-style, through the head.
No attempt had been made to hide the bodies. Matching DNA was found at three of the murder scenes. The first victim found was Laquetta Gunther, a 45-year-old believed to work as a prostitute, who was found in an alley on Boxing Day 2005. Less than a month later, 34-year-old Julie Green was found in a ditch at a construction site.
The third victim was Iwana Patton, 35, who was discovered on a dirt road on February 24. The killer didn’t strike again until January 2008, when 30-year-old became the last victim of the Daytona Beach Killer. There were multiple theories as to the killer’s identity. The type of firearm used was the same sort issued to law enforcement in the area, and several active and retired police officers were questioned. Others thought it could be a long-haul trucker who happened to pass through the area. This particular theory was supported by a woman named Nelita Ramos, who claimed that a trucker had kidnapped her at gunpoint in January 2006. When the man led her to an alley, she begged for her life and was miraculously let go.
The FBI have linked the killings to that have occurred beside highways in Florida. While the murders aren’t all necessarily believed to have been carried out by the same person, they are all suspected to be the work of long-haul truckers. 7The Flat-Tire Killer The Flat-Tire Murderer sounds like an urban legend, but his crimes were terrifyingly real. In 1975, five women and girls were killed by a man in Dade County, Florida.
The killer would deflate his victim’s tires while they were gone and then conveniently offer assistance, gaining his victims’ trust, before kidnapping them. One of the women, a 23-year-old named Barbara Stephens, was and stabbed to death using this trick. The killer was also associated with the murder of two 14-year-old schoolgirls. The police at the time reported similarities to murders elsewhere in the country and detectives in Florida, Utah, and California developed a theory that one man may have been responsible throughout the US. Some of the murders were eventually confessed to by Ted Bundy, but the deaths in Florida remain unsolved. 6The B1 Butcher While most serial killers leave bodies, Namibia’s B1 Butcher earned his name because he.
In November 2007, a torso was found in a garbage can beside the country’s central B1 road. Three days later, two thighs were found in separate places along the road. It was only after a month that the victim was identified as. Her head, feet, and the remainder of her legs were later discovered by farm workers. It was the latest in a series of killings attributed to the Butcher, who began his reign of terror in 2005.
The first victim was Melanie Janse, whose mutilated body was found in August 2005. The next body, found in September, was 21-year-old Juanita Mabula, who had been decapitated. After the funeral, Juanita’s aunt, “the most difficult thing for us was to bury our sister without her head.” The head in question was found. On December 28, 2005, the youngest victim was found—18-year-old Viola Swartbooi. Her body was too badly decomposed to establish the cause of death.
In October 2007, the Namibian police teamed up with specialists from and brought in serial killer experts from neighboring South Africa. Just a month later, a head and a set of forearms were found near a hospital. While there may be other victims, none have been found, and the butcher himself remains at large. 5The Hwaseong Murders The most notorious serial killer in the history of South Korea murdered 10 women over a period of five years, starting in 1986. His victims were all strangled to death.
Their ages ranged from 13 to 71, and many were raped. His final victim was a 69-year-old woman found strangled with her own pantyhose on April 3, 1991. The hunt for the killer became a national issue but failed to achieve a significant breakthrough. The only description the police had to work with came from the killer’s would-be fourth victim, who was raped but survived. She described the killer as a slim man in his early 20s. There was also some DNA recovered, but it didn’t match any of the 570 samples analyzed from suspects. The statute of limitations meant that it would be impossible to try anyone for the crimes after 2006.

That law has, in large part due to the Hwaseong case, in order to extend the length of time after which a killer can be prosecuted. 4The New Bedford Highway Killer In 1988, a serial killer murdered 11 women in New Bedford, Massachusetts, dumping the bodies at the side of the road just outside the city. The killer, who targeted sex workers and drug addicts, carried out the murders between April and September of that year.
However, the police that a serial killer was active until November, when the third body was found. By that point, the killer had stopped and possibly moved on. The police pursued two men as suspects. One was Tony DeGrazia, who had a history of sexually assaulting prostitutes. No evidence was found to link him to the deaths, and he committed suicide in 1990.
Famous Serial Killers
In August of that year, an attorney named Kenneth Ponte was indicted for the murder of Rochelle Clifford, but the due to lack of evidence. In 2007, police dug up an area outside of one of Ponte’s old houses in an attempt to crack the increasingly cold case. Another theory is that the killer may be the Lisbon Ripper, the unidentified perpetrator of a series of murders in Portugal in the 1990s. New Bedford has a large Portuguese community and if the killer left the country to continue his crimes, it might explain why he operated over such a short space of time—and has been so hard to track down. 3The Edgecombe County Serial Killer North Carolina’s Edgecombe County has been the hunting ground of at least one serial killer, who between 2005 and 2010. A man named Antwan Maurice Pittman has since been convicted of one of the murders, the 2009 strangling of Tahara Nicholson, and is likely behind several of the others. But many locals remain wary.
According to a local council member: “I don’t think the greater public believes he’s the culprit, the guy who killed all of them.” All of the victims were African Americans with a history of drug use or prostitution. Most, though not all, of the bodies were found in the woods outside town. The women were. There was one male victim, a transvestite named Travis Harrison, whose body was dismembered.
Pittman denies the killings, including the one he’s currently in prison for. 2The Monster Of Udine Between 1971 and 1991, the historic Italian city of Udine was rocked by 11 unsolved murders of women. As is typical, the most common targets were prostitutes, but the killer also murdered a teacher named Marina Lepre. Not all of the murders were necessarily the work of the same person, but we can link at least five of them, since the killer. The five victims in question were found with a in their abdomen.
It was cut carefully and cleanly, perhaps with a scalpel, running from the pubis to the chest and curving neatly around the bellybutton. The precision of the cut, and the resemblance to a Caesarean incision, have led some people to speculate the killer is a doctor. Among the few remaining leads is a shawl kept by Marina Lepre’s daughter, which may contain the DNA of the killer.
1Beer Man And The Cuff Parade Killer Many serial killers leave a calling card with their victims. Beer Man got his nickname because some of his victims were found next to them. Some sources say all of the bodies were accompanied by a can, others say four, some suggest only two. Whatever the truth, the press latched onto the name. Between October 2006 and January 2007, Beer Man killed in Mumbai, India. The victims were all men, beaten or stabbed to death, with many undressed below the waist.
Police reported that the killer had “performed unnatural sex with all the victims.” A man named Ravindra Kantrole was convicted of one of the murders in 2007. In September 2009, he was by a higher court, which found that the witnesses against him were “bogus.” In 2012, his DNA to see if he was the perpetrator of an unrelated serial killing spree in the city. The Cuff Parade serial killer was behind the abduction, rape, and murder of three girls in 2011. None of the victims were more than three years old. Police were able to extract the perpetrator’s DNA from two of the victims—and found there were at work. They took samples from 1,115 possible suspects, Kantrole among them. However, the process of analyzing the samples is slow, due to a lack of the right chemicals at the local crime lab.
