Leaving aside wars, ethnic cleansing and other mass killings, what we are looking at here are a set of individuals who preyed on society for sport or a sick kind of pleasure. Killing not just once but repeatedly over time before being identified or apprehended.

The Clown Killer

John Wayne Gacy Jnr -Born March 17 1942 – Death by Lethal Injection May 10th 1994

Believed to have assaulted, raped and murdered 33 teenage boys in Chicago between 1972-1978. He buried 29 of his victims in the crawlspace beneath his home and around his property. The remains of the others were dumped in a river.

Ted Bundy

Handsome and charismatic yes, but also a sadistic serial killer and rapist. The true number of his victims remains unknown although he did confess to 30 homicides just prior to his execution. At least four of his victims were decapitated, their heads being kept as sick mementoes in Bundy’s home. Bundy did not confine his crimes to one area, his victims are spread across the US with charges being made in Colorado, Florida and Utah.

The Green River Killer

Also known as the Green River Killer, during the 1980′s & 90′s he is believed to have murdered 71 women, although he claimed the because there had been so many ‘he lost count’. The majority being between 1982-84, preying on runaways and prostitutes who would meet their death by strangulation, either by his bare hands or the use of ligatures. He was spared the death penalty as a result of a plea bargain, agreeing that he would provide information as to the whereabouts of his victim’s remains.
