Starting off in our number 10 spot we have Angel resendiz also known as the railroad Killer Angel is said to have committed somewhere around 23 horrific crimes during history in both the United States and Mexico in the 1990s he went on to become known as the railroad killer because of the fact that most of his crimes were committed near railroads where he had just jumped off of trains he was using to travel around the country most of his crimes took place in the homes of those he harmed and usually after the crimes he'd linger around to eat their food and sometimes steal their sentimental items sometimes he'd even take jewelry to re-gift to his mother and sister in June of 1999 he was listed on the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives list and when his sister saw him there she was worried he would continue harming people so she thankfully contacted the authorities after this they were able to convince him to surrender and he was sent to trial in the end he was sentenced to death by the jury and although there were multiple appeal attempts his death warrant was signed and on June 27 2006 he received his sentence in our number nine spot today we have the Long Island serial killer also known as the Craigslist Ripper the l-i-s-k is an unidentified suspect who is believed to have taken the lives of 10 to 16 people over the last 20 years the victims so far that are known have been sex workers who used Craigslist to advertise their work after The Disappearance of Shannon Gilbert police were searching an area along the Ocean Parkway and that is when they began to discover the remains of the victims the first four were found in December of 2010 with another six being found in March and April of 2011. as of December 2015 the FBI is now officially involved in the investigation there has been a suspect in this case but any formal charges have not been laid in terms of these crimes the most recent evidence in regards to these cases was a belt found at the scene of the crime which may potentially belong to the killer at the same time it was announced that new scientific evidence was being used in the investigation but these announcements came just last year so we have yet to receive any further updates hopefully this case is solved quickly so that the families of the victims can receive Justice and this terrible person is off the streets for good in our number eight spot today we have Richard Chase this evil person is said to have taken the lives of six people within the span of a month between 1977 and 1978. that's a lot of people in a very short amount of time which is absolutely terrifying but for his crimes Richard's life was already full of terrible stories and horrific acts that had him spending time in mental institutions before his crime spree while at these facilities he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia but after going through treatment and beginning medication he was deemed to no longer be a threat to society and was released into his mother's care here's where things take a turn for the worse however instead of helping take care of Richard his mother instead weaned him off of his medication and got him all set up with his own apartment nice really helpful and cool of her initially when he moved into the apartment he had roommates but eventually they all moved out and he was alone which is when things really got wild he began killing various animals which he would then eat raw sometimes mixing the organs with Coca-Cola in a blender and then drinking it it's horrible after this he would unfortunately go on his Killing Spree which had horrific details and would only end when he was startled by a visitor at the home of where his final crime took place he fled the scene but he was later caught and stood trial although there were many attempts to have him be spared of the death sentence in the end this didn't work in December of 1980 Richard was found passed away in his jail cell after taking too many of his prescribed medication in our number 7 spot today we have Rodney Alcala Rodney is a horrible monster who was convicted and sentenced to death for five killings that he committed in California from 1977 to 1979. he also received an additional 25 years to life after pleading guilty to two other killings in New York in 1971 and 1977. Rodney got away with his crimes for a while because he wasn't the top of the list of suspects because he was said to be the quote Charming photographer Rodney is often referred to as The Dating Game Killer because of his appearance on the show which with what we now know about him is absolutely horrifying what's crazy is that he actually won the show he was on but the episode's Bachelorette refused to go on a date with him because she found him creepy this is just a reminder to always trust your instincts it isn't exactly known just how many victims Rodney had it is potentially thought that it could be much higher than the number he was convicted for in July of last year Rodney passed away in prison at the age of 77. in our number six spot today we have Charles Cullen this guy used to be a nurse who took the lives of his patients throughout his career and he may be one of the worst serial killers ever recorded he confessed to taking the lives of 40 people but through subsequent interviews it became apparent that the number was way higher than 40. he just couldn't remember the names of all of them but of course he could remember the details of all of his crimes against them his crime started in 1988 and spanned over a decade into 2003 3. in October of 2003 when a patient at a hospital passed away from low blood sugar the authorities were called this person was Charles final victim and authorities began looking into him and investigating his past employment history on December 12 2003 authorities were arresting him and charging him with only one count of his crimes but he ended up admitting to 40. he ended up pleading guilty to his crimes and arranged a plea deal where authorities would not seek the death penalty if he cooperated during one of his court proceedings he continuously asked the judge to step down and apparently repeatedly chanted for 25 minutes straight even after he was restrained and gagged for his outbursts it is thought that his victims might be up in the 400 range which is truly just unbelievable in our number 5 spot today we have John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo this pair is referred to as the DC snipers and they were responsible for a series of coordinated attacks during a three-week period in October of 2002. the pair took the lives of 10 people and critically in injured three others during this spree although their crimes spanned even before this and involved even more people their crimes were random and terrifying people would just be going about their everyday tasks when this horrific pair would strike through a series of quote unquote mistakes the pair made they were able to be caught by authorities and arrested in September of 2003 John Allen was sentenced to death and this sentence was carried out in November of 2009 John Lee on the other hand was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences but very recently it was determined that his sentence needs to be re-looked at because of his young age when the crimes were committed in our number 4 spot today we have Lawrence bitticker and Roy Norris a two for one of the most horrific kind this pair was often referred to as the toolbox killers they received this name because most of what they used to commit their crimes would be items normally stored in a household toolbox the pair committed five of these crimes in Southern California over a five-month period in 1979. in the end what led to their capture was when Roy met up with a friend with whom he had previously been incarcerated with he confessed to the crimes to this person in great detail and you know what this person did they consulted their attorney about this horrifying confession who then advised them to go to the authorities with the information thank goodness authorities while they didn't have the evidence necessary to charge the men with the crimes at that time were able to through surveillance find other things to arrest them for while they searched their homes to find the evidence that they really did need the pair stood trial and in the end Lawrence was sentenced to death and Roy who accepted a plea bargain and agreed to testify against Lawrence received a life sentence Lawrence died of natural causes while on death row in December of 2019 as did Roy at the California medical facility in 2020 FBI special agent John E Douglas described Lawrence as the most disturbing individual for whom he has ever created a criminal profile in our number three spot today we have Robert Hansen Robert is often referred to as the butcher Baker and his story truly is horrific he is one of the most prolific serial killers in Alaska's history because for over a decade he would kidnap women and bring them into the Wilderness where he would then stalk them like prey the reason he got away with his crimes for so long is because outside of these horrified crimes he was just a soft-spoken baker Robert was heading to church by day and prowling the streets at night what led to the downfall of this horrible monster was a badass named Cindy Paulson who was able to escape from Robert and was sure to leave evidence behind she then went to authorities and told them what happened and this led to a search warrant for Robert's property which is where all the evidence they needed lied Robert is believed to have taken the lives of at least 17 women and in 1983 he was sentenced to 461 years and a life sentence without the possibility of Parole in our number two spot today we have William Bonin this horrible person is said to be responsible for taking the lives of 21 young men in Southern California from May of 1979 to June 19 1980 it is said that on at least 12 of these occasions he was assisted by one of his four known accomplices and it is even speculated that he might be responsible for 15 more of these crimes that evidence hasn't officially been able to connect him to he was often referred to as the freeway killer because of the fact that most of the bodies were found along the freeway of Southern California the police surveilled William until they could catch him in the ACT which they did in the beginning he claimed innocence I mean they caught him in the ACT it's kind of dumb to claim innocence but after receiving an impassioned letter from one of the victim's mothers which asked him to please share the location of her son's body he confessed his guilt but he made sure to clarify that it wasn't so the mother could be at peace or so that her pain could be eased no of course not instead he said quote I was dying for a hamburger and I knew if I went out with the cops they would get me a hamburger at his first trial the prosecutor described him as quote the most Arc evil person who ever existed William was convicted on 14 of his crime times and was sentenced to death he spent 14 years on death row before his sentence was carried out in 1996. in our number one spot today we have Israel Keys Israel is quite a prolific serial killer and truly is a terrifying person while everyone on this list is horrible Israel is particularly scary because of the fact that he had no mo or type he just killed at random in fact he was so prepared for these random crimes that he left kill kits all over the U.S so that he would be prepared for whenever whoever he chose crossed his path it isn't quite clear how many of these crimes he committed and many missing persons reports that are still open could potentially be linked to him it is said that Israel had a sort of admiration and obsession with other prolific serial killers like Ted Bundy or Robert Hansen who he already talked about today he even said quote I probably know every single serial killer that's ever been written about it's kind of a hobby of mine so creepy in March of 2012 Israel was finally apprehended and was to stand trial for his crimes but unfortunately while waiting for trial he went on to take his own life he left behind a note and a drawing of 11 skulls which led authorities to believe that this may be the number of victims he had starting off in our number 10 spot we have Quincy Allen Quincy Allen is a man who went on a crime spree between July and August of 2002 where he took the lives of four people his crime spree was actually inspired while he was in prison serving time for stealing a vehicle it was here that a fellow inmate decided to start recruiting others and told him that he could get Quincy a job as a mafia Hitman when Quincy was released he decided to buy a shotgun so he could start practicing man I really wish he showed this kind of dedication to literally anything else Quincy started off this horrific crime spree on July 7 2002 by attacking a 51 year old homeless man who was sleeping at the time luckily this man was able to survive the attack his crimes continued until he was arrested on August 14 2002. after his arrest in trial Quincy received a sentence of death and is still on death throw awaiting execution his sentencing did not deter him from the criminal life however as in 2009 Quincy along with another inmate planned an attack on a correctional officer at the prison they both reside at Quincy was intended to be executed on January 8 2010 but there was a stay of execution that was accepted and as of July 26 2022 literally just over a month ago Quincy's death sentence was overturned in our number 9 today we have the Golden State killer the Golden State killer is one of the most famous serial killers of all time and he managed to elude police for 30 years from 1973 to 1986 the GSK was responsible for taking the lives of 13 people harming 50 and 120 different burglaries all across California throughout the investigation process he used different tactics to both taunt and threaten police and victims which is just another level of being messed up if you don't know how this story ends buckle up though because it is wild so you know those like family DNA tests like 23andMe where you send in your DNA and then they send you back your genealogy well basically these kinds of services helped identify who the real golden state killer was in 2018 when detective Paul holes and FBI lawyer Steve Kramer uploaded the Golden State killer DNA profile which they were able to obtain from the crime scenes to the website GED match they were able to find 10 to 20 people who had the same great great grandparents as this DNA match from there a genealogist made a large family tree and then they were able to single out two main suspects after covertly collecting DNA samples from one of the suspects and comparing them to the crime scene DNA they were finally able to arrest Joseph James D'Angelo who is the Golden State killer after Decades of waiting the victims of his crimes were finally able to see Justice served as he was sentenced to 12 life sentences plus eight years he was spared the death penalty because he admitted to numerous crimes he had perpetrated some of which he wasn't even being charged for he is now 75 years old and will definitely spend the rest of his life in prison in our number 8 spot today we have David Berkowitz David Berkowitz or the Son of Sam is an American serial killer who terrorized New York from July of 1976 to July of 1977. he took the lives of six people and wounded seven others all while eluding the biggest Manhunt in New York City history he was one of those arrogant ones who leaves like little notes for the police promising to do it again but his arrogant self was caught for his crimes and he was arrested on August 10 1977 and was indicted for his crimes he confessed to all of them and claimed that he was just obeying the orders of a demon that had manifested itself in the form of a dog that belonged to his neighbor he was found mentally competent to stand trial and he pleaded guilty to his crimes which left him sentenced to six consecutive life sentences he later admitted to making up the dog story which like yeah duh but he did say that he was a member of a violent satanic cult and his crimes were committed as a part of that these claims were investigated but no one has ever been able to confirm or deny them in our number 7 spot today we have Tex Watson Tex Watson was one of the central members of the Manson family which was led by Charles Manson and he was a willing participant for the horrible Tate and labianca crimes that took place on August 9th and 10th 1969. in October of 1969 Tex knew his arrest was coming so he fled to his home state of Texas but was later arrested and extradited back to California once he was in California he refused to talk or eat and ended up losing 55 pounds which got him sent to get tested to see if he was fit to strand trial which he was in 1971 he was convicted on seven counts of first degree on alive and one count of conspiracy to commit unalive he originally received a death sentence but it ended up being commuted to life in prison get this you guys though he was able to release a book while in prison and he got married and through conjugal visits he was able to have four children four children but thankfully in 1996 they banned those kinds of visits for people serving life in prison and in 2003 he got divorced because his wife had met someone else like I hope so in our number six spot today we have Scott Erskine early on life Scott began to commit violent crimes against others that I truly cannot even speak about here on YouTube they're so bad he spent four years in prison for one of these crimes when he was around 17 years old but when he was paroled after the four years he immediately began committing crimes again in 1993 Scott invited a woman who was waiting for the bus into his home and ended up holding her hostage for several days after letting her go he was quickly arrested and ended up being sentenced to 70 years in prison this is when he had to submit DNA to a database and in March of 2001 that DNA was matched when the cold cases of the unsolved killings of Jonathan Sellers and Charlie Keever were reopened in 2004 a jury sentenced him to death and six days later he was transferred to San Quentin in an interesting turn of events Scott did die on death row but it wasn't due to a scheduled execution Scott died a couple of years ago in July of 2020 after Contracting covid-19 in our number 5 spot today we have Charles ing Charles story starts off shortly after he moved to the United States on student visa he dropped out after his first semester and soon after he was involved in a hit-and-run accident he then tried to avoid prosecution by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps using false documents that stated his birthplace was within the United States he was arrested by military police a year later for stealing automatic weapons and then somehow he escaped custody headed back toward Northern California and this is where he met Leonard Lake who is another real piece of work Charles did end up going away and serving a bit of time but it was only 18 months and he was back with Leonard and that is when the two started their crime spree It is believed that together the pair took the lives of somewhere from 11 to 25 different people when Leonard was caught and brought in for questioning he sneakily took a cyanide pill he had hidden in his jacket and took his own life but Charles ended up standing trial he was convicted for 11 of the killings and he remains on death row at San Quentin in our number four spot today we have Sean great Shawn is a serial killer who committed a series of crimes from 2006 until he was apprehended in 2016. throughout his decade of criminal activity it is thought that he took the lives of at least five people so basically his story is a little confusing but in September of 2016 Sean was arrested and later indicted for two killings as well as a kidnapping and harming a woman whose 9-1-1 call actually led to his arrest at the same time in another County next door 4 he was also being charged with two other deaths as well as another one from all the way back in 2016. this final count from all of those years ago was actually an unsolved Jane Doe case who had been unidentified for 12 years when Sean confessed to this crime he wasn't even sure who she was he just said he believed her name was Dana on May 7 2018 Sean was convicted on two of the counts and on March 1st 2019 he pleaded guilty to two of the others and on September 11 2019 he pleaded guilty to the additional count in the end he was sentenced to death and has remained on death row since that final plea and sentencing and he is currently scheduled to be executed in 2025. in our number three spot today we have the Zodiac Killer this one had to make it on this list because while there are a plethora of terrifying people on this list nothing is as terrifying as an uncaught serial killer and the zodiac is definitely the most prolific of them all the Zodiac Killer took the lives of five people in the San Francisco Bay area between 1968 and October of 1969. he was most known for targeting young couples or a lone male cab driver despite two people luckily and thankfully escaping his attempted evil doings he has still never been caught while no one has heard from the Zodiac since 1974 the case remains active in many different counties and maybe one day we'll finally know who the real zodiac is in our number two spot today we have Dale hausner and Samuel dietman known as the serial Shooters the crimes these guys committed are definitely on the list of fears I have which I'm pretty sure spawned from a Criminal Minds episode These two were actively committing these crimes between May of 2005 and August of 2006. basically there were arsonists who had randomly set fire into objects but they would also drive around and commit random drive-by shootings that's the really scary part the fire thing is also bad don't get me wrong there's just something about completely random violence that absolutely terrifies me in the end a series of tips is what led investigators to identify the perpetrators of these horrible crimes in particular one from a friend of Samuel who explained that Sam had actually confessed to some of the killings one night while during drinking in Dale's trial he was found guilty of 80 out of the 87 felony charges that were brought forth and that was all in one single trial in the end he was sentenced to death six times and his brother who was later found out to have assisted in some of the crimes was sentenced to 25 years Samuel was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole and our number one spot today we have the doodler while this nickname sounds very sweet it like everything else on this list is very Sinister the nickname that this unidentified killer received is due to his practice of sketching his victims before taking their lives this unidentified killer committed their crimes in the San Francisco area from January of 1974 to September of 1975 and they specifically targeted gay men It is believed that 14 deaths can be attributed to this killer while three others were injured in the process unfortunately because of the stigma and sensitivity surrounding gay men at the time the three who survived this monster were very reluctant when speaking with the authorities for fear of being outed as a result of it this has led to there being very little information for them to work with in terms of identifying the man responsible for a while there was a primary suspect but that person has never been officially charged because sadly none of the survivors felt comfortable enough to testify in court starting off in our number 10 spot we have the River City Ripper one of the most terrifying things that exists are serial killers who are still on the loose especially when you find out that they've been recently active this serial killer is wanted in connection to four different incidents that occurred in Little Rock Arkansas three of which were fatal these horrific crimes took place between August of 2020 and April of 2021 and despite one of the victims thankfully surviving the attack and being able to provide a description of the assailant there is still very little to go on in terms of being able to identify this horrible human the FBI was contacted shortly after their Survivor was able to give a testimony to authorities and their behavioral analysis team created a profile of this unidentified killer these crimes are terrible any way you spin them but one of the most terrifying Parts is the that they were all just random acts of violence that occurred completely unprovoked the case has gained quite a bit of attention but still the monster remains at large in our number nine spot today we have Tommy Lynn cells before I get into this one guys please don't forget to hit that thumbs up if you're enjoying the video it really does help us out Tommy Lynn sells was an American serial killer who is responsible for 22 confirmed deaths but authorities have said that they know that there are more I actually watched an interview that he did and one of the aspects that scared me the most while watching him talk about his crimes is how you can tell that he committed these acts because he wanted to and because he liked it in the end Tommy was caught because of someone who survived his attack in the most incredible way she was able to go on and give such a good description of him that it led to his capture and she was able to positively identify him not only did she save her own life but who knows how many others in the end Tommy and his crimes were deemed so horrific that he received the death sentence while in jail he said that there wasn't one day that went by where he didn't think about quote The One That Got Away which is absolutely chilling Tommy's life came to an end when he was executed on April 3rd 2014. in our number 8 spot today we have Glenn Stewart Godwin man this guy definitely has quite the history so basically in 1980 Glenn was working in California and didn't really have too much of a criminal record for some reason he and his roommate however decided to make a plan to Rob someone that they knew who was once a friend of theirs of course things go awry and it turns into a botched robbery and Glenn ends up taking the life of the person they were robbing also this isn't necessarily important to what we're talking about today but it's so unhinged I just can't leave it out in an attempt to destroy evidence Glenn tried to blow up the crime scene the explosive went off but obviously they were still able to figure out who committed the crime both Glenn and his roommate were both tried and convicted for the crimes in 1983. this of course is not where the story ends in 1987 Glenn tried to escape prison and failed and this landed him at a higher security prison Folsom State Prison which is maximum security somehow once at this new prison he attempted another escape and this time was successful he fled to Mexico where he tried unsuccessfully to be a part of the illegal drug trade he was arrested again and sentenced in Mexico and this is when American authorities began the process of getting him extradited during this process Glenn decided that it would be a brilliant idea to take the life of an inmate who was a member of the Mexican drug cartel which very obviously slowed the process of extradition this gave him time to plan another Escape which he did in 1991 and since then he's been on the Run no one knows where he is how lovely in our number 7 spot today we have Rose West Rose West is an English serial killer who committed her crimes alongside her husband he definitely also would make a spot on this list but he decided to take his own life in 1995 after being arrested while awaiting trial the terrible pair were investigated and subsequently arrested for taking nine lives together with with rose receiving an additional charge for another 10th life during the court proceedings against the advice of her Council Rose decided that she would testify herself and what a trip that was during her testimony she sometimes was very tearful and very dramatic but of course an act like that can be hard to keep up so other times she was just cracking jokes and laughing imagine doing your type 5 while you're on trial for the worst of the worst crimes luckily it seems as though the jury hated that as much as I do because they all came back with a unanimous verdict of guilty on all 10 crimes in prison Rose West met Myra hindley which if you don't know who that is she committed a bunch of very similar crimes with her partner as well and the two became besties and even had an affair in jail but throughout the whole thing Rose is still trying to say that she was totally innocent and that Fred was completely responsible for all of the crimes so wild in our number six spot today we have Chester Turner Chester is an American serial killer who on April 30th 2007 was convicted of taking the lives of 11 women in the Los Angeles air area and on June 19 2014 he was convicted of four more that they were able to tie back to him he has been referred to by prosecutors as one of the most prolific serial killers in the city's history and if you know Los Angeles's history with things like that that is not something to take lightly due to other crimes that Chester had committed where he was caught he had to submit a DNA sample the sample is what ended up leading authorities to solving these horrific crimes that he had committed at the time these cases were turning cold but thankfully Chester being caught for other crimes is what allowed them to have a break in the case in his original trial that led to conviction Chester was sentenced to death but at the following one in 2014 he also received an additional death sentence in our number five spot today we have Gary Ridgeway his horrible human being is also sometimes known as the Green River Killer and his crimes took place somewhere between 1982 to potentially as recent as 2001. he was convicted for 49 crimes but confessed to an unbelievable 71 which makes him the second most prolific serial killer in the United States in terms of confirmed killings most of his victims were either sex workers or women in other vulnerable circumstances and through DNA profiling evidence in 2001 authorities were able to connect him to four of his crimes from there they made a deal with him where they would spare him the death sentence in exchange for the disclosure of the locations of all of the missing women Gary took the deal and was spared to death sentence and instead was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole he remains in prison and is currently 73 years old in our number 4 spot today we have the West Mesa Bone Collector this is the name used to describe an unidentified serial killer who is said to be responsible for taking the lives of 11 different women whose remains were found buried in the desert of West Mesa in 2009 it is thought that this could be one person or it could potentially be linked to some sort of a group there have been tips throughout the years and authorities have worked hard to try and get to the bottom of these crimes but still the killer remains at large there have been a few different suspects throughout the years but there hasn't been enough concrete evidence to charge anyone with the crimes yet what's interesting about this case is that although the remains were found in 2009 according to authorities upon examining satellite images It is believed that the last of the remains were placed there in 2005. in our number three spot today we have Heber Mullin it is said that Hebert before his crime spree was quite bright and well liked he was voted most likely to succeed in high school but by his mid-30s his life had taken a dark dark turn and he was now a serial killer who would go on to take the lives of at least 13 people to be perfectly honest Hebert definitely had some mental illness struggles that greatly contributed to the horrific crimes that he committed that does not excuse what he has done but it would be completely unfair not to mention that part of the Story Experts have explained that Hebert suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and he believed that his crimes were preventing earthquakes in California he only believed this sort of fantasy more after his arrest because coincidentally there were no earthquakes in California during his crime spree but there was one shortly after his arrest in 1973 he was sentenced to life in prison and although he has been up for parole a number of times he has been denied every time with the next hearing taking place in 2025. in our number two spot today we have Jeffrey Dahmer this is one man who was exceptionally terrifying because of his actions but he was also very very smart which adds an extra layer of Terror to this one Dahmer who became known as the Milwaukee monster is one of the most prolific serial killers ever and considering everyone we've talked about today we know that's not an easy title to get he became fixated with animals at a young age and if you're interested in True Crime and criminology you know what happens next and how bad of a sign it is Dahmer dropped out of business school due to alcohol after just three months and enlisted in the U.S army to train as a medical specialist but that didn't last long as he was discharged after he attacked two fellow soldiers after this Dahmer fell hard into alcoholism and this is when he went on his killing spree just to be clear those two things are not related I know you know that but I don't want anyone to think otherwise between 1971 and 1999 Dahmer went on to take the lives of 17 people and some of the things that came after included the permanent preservation of the body parts typically all or part of the skeleton so yeah yeah things were very very dark one of his victims was able to escape and booked it to the police which is of course what led to Dahmer being caught for his atrocious crimes when they got there the chief medical examiner remarked that it was more like dismantling someone's museum than an actual crime scene in the end Dahmer was tried and convicted and sentenced to 15 life imprisonments and in February of 1992 he received an additional life sentence for a crime he hadn't yet been tried for that occurred in Ohio in our number one spot today we have Christopher scarver on June 1st 1990 Christopher showed up at the Wisconsin Conservation Corps training program office and there he demanded money from the man he found when the man only gave him fifteen dollars Christopher went on to shoot him Christopher then went and demanded money from another man and continued to shoot the man that he had already shot until this second man gave him more money Christopher was caught and convicted for this atrocious crime but his story does not end here on November 28 1994 Christopher was assigned work detail with two other inmates one was Jesse Anderson who had taken the life of his own wife and the other was none other than the man we just talked about prolific serial killer and monster Jeffrey Dahmer well when the three were left alone Christopher took a bar from a piece of equipment in the exercise room and he used that to basically beat and then kill the other two not gonna lie there is no excuse and no reason for any of the crimes that these people committed including these ones but there is a very weird sort of poetic justice to that Christopher was tried again for these two crimes and received two more life sentences starting off this list in our number 10 spot we have the alphabet there are a lot of scary people on this list today but some of the scariest people out there are the ones we know have committed horrific crimes but have yet to be identified yes we are talking cold cases unsolved crimes right now and we are talking one of the worst the alphabet killings are a series of unsolved crimes named because of how each victim had their first initial that matched their last so like their first name and their last name started with the same letter they know the crimes are linked or at least have reason to suspect they are because of a similar Mo that includes how the life was taken and where the remains were placed afterwards they were all taken in a similar area around a similar time there are theories and suspects as to who could have committed these horrific crimes but as of right now no one knows for sure these crimes were committed between 1971 and 1973 in Rochester New York and because of the timing it's possible that whoever committed these crimes could still be alive but perhaps they're not authorities despite having an immensely difficult job placed in front of them are still committed and trying to solve this case in our number 9 spot today we have John Wayne Gacy with a nickname like killer clown it is abundantly clear why everyone would want to stay away from this actual monster he got his start in this horrifying nickname by being a clown for children's birthday parties charitable events and that sort of thing according to Gacy himself all of his crimes were committed inside of his ranch house where he would lure his victims into he would then trick them into wearing handcuffs under the pretense that he was going to show some sort of a magic trick and from here the horror unfortunately ensued it is thought that he took the lives of somewhere around 33 young men most of which he buried in a crawl space in his home on the evening of December 11 1978 Gacy took the life of his last victim Robert peist Casey lured the young man in when he went into the pharmacy that he worked at and while talking with the store owner loudly declared so that Robert could hear that he often hired teenagers for his firm at a starting rate of five dollars per hour which was double what Robert was getting at the pharmacy in hopes of getting a new good job Robert ended up inquiring further after his shift at the pharmacy was over when Robert's mother filed a missing persons report the pharmacy owner was able to explain that Gacy was likely the person he went to speak to about a job and when the police looked into Gacy's background all the pieces were there just waiting to be put together subsequent investigation questioning and searches LED police to gather all of the evidence they needed to arrest and charge him and his conviction for 33 killings was at the time the most by one individual in the United States legal history he was sentenced to death on March 13 1980 and on May 10 1994 he was executed by lethal injection and I'm not gonna lie I think that's something we can all be grateful for in our number 8 spot today we have Delphine lalori Delphine was a New Orleans socialite who is an evil person behind closed doors it is said that in public Delphine was polite and appeared as if she cared for those who were enslaved in her home which is the most ridiculous sentence I've ever said but that's what the accounts of people who lived in this time said delphine's social standing remained until on April 10 1834 authorities responded to a fire at her Royal Street Mansion when they arrived and went inside no one was prepared for the horrors they were about to see I as they discovered bound slaves in her attic who had clear signs of violent violent Behavior over a very long period of time following this her house was swarmed by an outraged group of New Orleans citizens but somehow Delphine was able to escape with her family to France while the angry group destroyed her entire home Delphi never faced any punishments for her crimes which is one of the most frustrating endings to this horrible awful story in our number 7 SWAT today we have Lester Eubanks if you're a fan of Unsolved Mysteries you might be familiar with this story Lester is a man who is convicted and sentenced to prison in 1966 for taking someone's life in December of 1973 Lester was a part of an honor assignment that gave him the opportunity to be at the mall to do some Christmas shopping while at the mall he ended up escaping custody and has been on the run ever since through investigations into his family and friends police were led to a center for troubled youth where he was said to have been working but Lester was nowhere to be found the most recent development in this case came in 2019 when Lester's biological son agreed to give a DNA sample which could be used to link Lester to recent crimes and maybe give an idea on where he could be hiding but FBI policies that you cannot search using a family member's DNA it's crazy that someone could be on the run for so long without anyone recognizing or finding them and it makes me really wonder if anyone in his new life knows about his dark past in our number 6 Spot today we have the Honolulu killer this is another one of those pesky horrifying unidentified cereal to of course was active in and around Honolulu Hawaii these crimes took place in 1985 and 1986 and throughout those years it is said that whoever is responsible for these crimes took the lives of at least five women the women seemingly didn't have any connection to each other as they were all from different walks of life but because of the gruesome similarities of each crime authorities were able to determine that they were likely committed by the same person despite the years it's been the perpetrator has never been identified and could still be out there somewhere hiding from taking responsibility for their actions in our number 5 spot today we have Daniel Perez Daniel Perez might be better known by his Alias Lou Castro but he truthfully is just best not being known at all because he sucks Daniel led a cult that was located on a 20 acre property in a rural area just north of Wichita he convinced his followers that he had magical powers and he told them all that he was a centuries-old angel who needed to commit some horrific crimes in order to stay alive weird story these crimes would have certainly been more than enough to throw him on this list but he of course just couldn't stop at committing one type of crime he had to make sure he just really stole the show on being the worst basically he had this clever idea to use his followers life insurance policies to live a lavish lifestyle like as if no one would think that's weird or suspicious while some of these life insurance policies were collected through regular means of course that kind of greed only leads to evil things which of course means that he ended up taking one of his followers lives so he could collect the cash it is thought that he also contributed to the deaths of some of the other people's life insurance policies he cashed in on but unfortunately there was never any evidence that would be able to substantiate that claim despite this however on April 21st 2010 authorities were able to arrest Daniel and he was charged with 28 felonies in February of 2015 he was convicted on all counts and received a sentence of 80 years in jail in her number 4 spot today we have the I-70 this is the name of what is believed to be an unidentified serial who is known to have taken the lives of six store clerks in the midwest in the spring of 1992. the reason he is referred to as the I-70 killer is because most of the stores were just a few miles off of Interstate 70. While most of his victims were women there was one man but it is believed that he may have been expecting a female employee the killings were clearly the main objective of his crimes as well considering the fact that at each scene the there was only a small amount of cash that was taken aside from these initial six crimes it is thought that he also might be responsible for the deaths of three more store clerks in Texas in 1993 and 1994 as well as one more in Indiana in 2001. this story has been featured on episodes of Unsolved Mysteries America's Most Wanted and dark minds but despite this whoever is responsible has never been identified in our number three spot today we have Ted Kaczynski Ted Kaczynski is most often referred to as the Unabomber due to the atrocious crimes that he committed he was known as being quite bright from a young age and it is believed that he had an IQ of about 167. he was accepted into Harvard at the age of just 16 and he went on to receive a PhD at 25 things were still looking bright for the guy as he had landed himself a job as an assistant professor at the University of California Berkeley but two years later he resigned from that position and his life took quite a drastic and dark turn in 1971 it is said that Ted moved to a remote cabin in Montana that had no electricity or running water from 1971 until 1977 Ted learned to live a Hermit Off the Grid style life while learning different survival skills but once 1978 rolled around he was ready to start his Terror campaign from here until 1995 he began a nationwide thing against people who were involved with modern technology he planted these weapons or would mail them and in the end took the lives of three people and severely injured 23. just like many of these kinds of people his own ego and delusions got in the way because on April 24 1995 he sent an anonymous handwritten letter that was addressed to the police via the New York Times his own brother ended up recognizing his handwriting however and that's the tip that he gave to the FBI Ted was captured tried and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of Parole in our number two spot today we have Dorothea Puente you know the saying don't judge a book by its cover well this is certainly a case of that if you took one glance at Dorothea and knew nothing about her you'd probably assume she was someone's kind Grandma who also had some cookies and a glass of milk waiting around but that could not be any further from the actual truth she was actually a cereal and she decided to Prey Upon some of the most vulnerable people in our communities people who were seeking help and assistance Dorothea operated a large rooming house that was set in a large Victorian home in Sacramento California the residents who would often stay there were people who struggled with different substances such as alcohol people who had been in Mental Hospitals and the elderly all of these people were receiving Social Security checks and if they suddenly vanished she figured no one would ask in 1982 they did begin to vanish but of course their Social Security checks were continually being cached of course as it turns out Dorothea was taking their lives and then their money she has now been called The Landlady from hell in our number one spot today we have Albert Fish Albert is one of the oldest people on this list but that does not mean his crimes were any less horrific than anyone else's dubbed the Brooklyn vampire or the moon Maniac or even the boogeyman himself it is clear that Albert was a terrible human being who did Terrible Things in the early 1900s Albert was arrested tried and convicted for killing and eating three people but the horror was not over here no Albert began to claim that although people knew about three the number was actually closer to 100 and he even claimed that he had some in every state that's disgusting to make matters even worse as if this wasn't already terrible enough this deranged lunatic also sent a letter to the mother of one of his victims he detailed everything about how he lured her and the rest of the horrific things that occurred afterwards like how he proceeded to eat her over the course of nine days yeah this is another person that I'm not sad at all that they don't exist anymore it's perfectly fine by me starting off in our number 10 spot we have Keith Hunter jesperson also known as the Happy Face Killer Keith was so desperate for attention for his crimes it might have led to his own demise Keith is a killer who after the body of his first victim was found had someone else actually claim to be responsible for his crimes when you're trying to get away with killing people having someone else falsely confess to your crime would likely seem like the best case scenario right well not for Keith he wanted to be known for his crimes so to help himself get media attention he drew a smiley face on a bathroom wall hundreds of miles away from his crime scene and here he left an anonymous letter where he confessed to the crime and provided proof he didn't end up receiving a reply so he decided to write more letters to the media and to authorities each signed with a smiley face in the end Keith was initially caught after he became the prime suspect in the death of his girlfriend at the time previously his victims had been people he had no connection to So This truly was the mistake the authorities needed to catch him Keith then admitted to his crimes and while he has formally been linked to eight deaths he is confessed to somewhere around 185 Keith was tried and sentenced to life without parole for his heinous crimes and he remains in prison at Oregon State penitentiary in our number nine spot today we have Franklin Dwayne Alex Franklin is a man who had quite an insane crime spree that lasted for about six months in the 1990s although short it was anything but sweet the Spree started off in August of 1997 in Houston Texas over the course of this spree Franklin took the lives of at least three people he committed robberies he harmed people he attempted to take more lives where thankfully the people survived he kidnapped people literally any serious crime he could commit during those six months he was doing it in the end Franklin was caught and put on trial for his crime spree and he received a sentence of death which was carried out on March 30th 2010. in our number eight spot today we have David Parker Ray often referred to as the toy box killer this guy is anything but fun this serial killer nickname comes from how he soundproofed a semi-trailer which he called his toy box and he equipped it full of everything a nightmare human being would need to commit his horrific crimes here's the thing although he was highly suspected of Taking Lives there was never enough evidence to prove it because the bodies were never found this means that although many people are quite sure that he did such things he was never officially tried for it he was however tried and convicted for kidnapping as well as for harming those he had taken he would sometimes include his wife in these instances that she was a willing participant and then many of those he took he would later drop off on the side of the road somewhere after using perpetuates in an attempt to destroy their memories that could potentially identify him whether he took any lives or not is still up for debate I suppose but that does not mean he is any better than anyone else on this list he is equally as horrible of a person in the end David was convicted for his crimes which is thought to be up in the range of about 60 instances in 2001 and then he died of a heart attack in 2002 in prison in our number seven spot today we have Arthur across this man is also known as the Genesee River Killer and his crime spree began in 1972 in trying to navigate these online guidelines I can't exactly say who he specifically targeted but what I will say is that while everyone on this list is particularly horrible Arthurs were some of the worst of the worst if you catch my drift this story however is a little unlike some of the others today because after the first two of his crimes he was apprehended but for some insane reason they allowed him to have a plea bargain where he was allowed to plead guilty to just one charge of only manslaughter for which he served 14 years of his 25-year sentence in the least surprising turn of events once he was released on early probation his real crime spree got started he would go on to take the lives of 12 women from 1988 and 1989. thankfully he was finally caught for these crimes and sent right back to prison of course his initial early release was the subject of huge controversy rightfully and Dr Michael H Stone professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University called this early release quote one of the most egregious examples of the unwarranted release of a prisoner in the end Arthur passed away in prison while serving a 250 year sentence he passed in 2008 after suffering a heart attack in our number six spot today we have Richard Ramirez Richard who is also known as The Night Stalker was a serial killer who terrorized the streets of Los Angeles in the 1980s he was known for his Mo of invading homes which left him initially being dubbed as the walk-in killer but he had another signature that was concerning to many people especially during the height of this satanic Panic Richard was known for leaving behind different satanic messages at the scene of his crimes because of his satanic signature after he left his first pentagram at the scene of the crime authorities became worried that he was a Charles Manson copycat but instead he was just his own kind of monster it had said that he would leave more pentagrams behind while also telling his victims to swear to Satan instead of God during his court appearances he would hold up a pentagram and after pleading not guilty he said hail Satan in our number five spot today we have the Colonial Parkway monster between 1986 and 1989 there were three couples who were found in their cars after their lives had been taken and all of these couples were found along Virginia's Colonial Parkway although this is a horrific thing that investigators believed to be linked all these years later whoever is responsible for these crimes remains somewhere at large there are plenty of theories as to who could have done this just like with any Cold Case of this kind but terrifyingly many people believe that the culprit may have been someone impersonating a police officer this is because each of the victims were found with their glove compartments open which some believe indicates that they were reaching for their registration and this might be the reason as to why they even pulled over in the first place this is just a theory however and true or not at this point it isn't bringing us any closer to finding out who is really responsible for these horrific crimes in our number 4 spot today we have Michael Bear Carson and Susan Carson this couple is not one that anyone would want to encounter the stories of these two come from the 80s they were married and on the outside they appear just like a couple of harmless hippies we all know not to judge a book by its cover though in the end they would go on to become known as the San Francisco witch Killers yeah not just a thing for Salem in the 1600s unfortunately basically together the pair took the lives of three separate people between 1981 and 1983. they started off by killing their roommate who Susan claimed was a witch and said that she was stealing her quote Health power and Beauty sounds like someone was a little jealous to me they next killed one guy that they worked on a farm with because they said that he was a demon the final person they took the life of unfortunately picked up the pair as they were hitchhiking and they took his life because they claimed that he was a quote black witch whatever that means essentially they were just committing crimes against people that they claimed to be witches the pair were each tried and convicted for each separate crime and are both serving sentences of 75 years to life no neither of them have shown any kind of remorse for what they've done in our number three spot today we have Kenneth Bianchi the Hillside Strangler which was later found out to be a pair of cousins working together were Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo buono Jr the two were charged and convicted for harming and taking the lives of 10 separate women together with Kenneth taking the lives of two others on his own after an extremely intensive investigation and the arrest of the two Kenneth began to try and set up an insanity defense he claimed disassociative identity disorder he blamed his alter ego Steve for the horrific multitude of crimes luckily however a court psychologist Dr Martin orn observed him and his behavior and found that his claims were untrue after being presented with this finding Kenneth agreed to plead guilty and testify against his cousin in exchange for leniency on his sentence he ended up being sentenced to life in prison with his cousin getting sentenced to life without the possibility of parole while Angelo had a heart attack in passage 2002 Kenneth still remains in prison in our number two spot today we have Vicki Dawn Jackson Vicki was a woman who worked as a nurse for a number of years she first got her nursing license in 1989 but it wasn't until the 2000s when things took a very dark turn between December of 2000 and February of 2001 the hospital that Vicki was working for recorded a number of deaths that was unusual it was a higher amount most of these patients were in the age range of 60 to 100 years old so of course people just chalked this up to the advanced age of most of these patients but a rumor began to spread that someone just might be responsible after this the hospital's administrator noticed that a vial of called mivacron had gone missing you might see where I'm going with this as it turns out the person responsible was nurse Vicky and she had at least 10 patients whose lives she took by giving them too much of this missing drug it was a muscle relaxant take in that this is 10 people between December and February that is an unbelievable amount of people in a remarkably short amount of time you might be wondering why she took these lives and apparently she did it when she found those people rude or quote too demanding in our number one spot today we have the Axeman of New Orleans unfortunately this is not the name of some terrible horror flick and instead it is the moniker given to a terrible unidentified serial killer this person was active in New Orleans Louisiana and its surrounding areas from May of 1918 to October 1919 as the name implies those who were targeted by this person were usually attacked with an ax and it was usually one that actually belonged to the victims themselves many people believe that this person may have been targeting people of Italian descent because this was the theme among the victims and some also believed that he was mainly targeting women and only took the lives of men when they tried to intervene this is actually somewhat supported by the homes where women were killed but the men worked in the end although this person is responsible for taking at least 12 lives exactly who the Axeman is or was remains a mystery.
