Jack the Ripper
In 1888 a killer appeared in London’s White chapel district and murdered 5 women and mutilated their corpses. He liked to mock the community and police by sending out letters detailing what he had done. No one really knows who he is, lots of suspects have been named over the years but they’ve never identified him but all we’ve come upon is the name Jack the Ripper.

Jeffery Dahmer
At only 18 years old Jeffery Dahmer started killing in 1978 and wasn’t arrested until 1991. The only reason Jeffery Dahmer was caught was because a victim escaped and led police back to his apartment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dahmer killed 17 people, mostly men of color, he would take photographs of the gruesome killings he’d commit. He served time in prison twice and was killed by a fellow inmate in 1994.

Ted Bundy
The number of murders committed by Ted is unknown all though he did kill a lot of women, mostly college age women. He committed them from Washington and Oregon all the way to Utah and Colorado. He was arrested once in Colorado for kidnapping and was convicted but he escaped custody and fled to Florida where he killed some more. Although he enjoyed the attention he got from the murders he himself didn’t think he was guilty. He was captured and accused of murder and was put back in prison. He was eventually executed in an electric chair in 1989.
