Get More at COMMENTYOU.comSerial Killers choose victims weaker than themselves. Often their victims will fit a certian stereotype which has symbolic meaning for the killer. Bundy brutally murdered college-age women with long brown hair. Was he killing, over and over again, the upper-class fiancee who broke off her engagement with him? David Berkowitz, aka "Son of Sam," was not so particular -- he hated all women: "I blame them for everything. Everything evil that's happened in the world -- somehow goes back to them." Gacy savagely strangled young men, some of them his own employees, calling them "worthless little queers and punks." Some believe that Gacy's homicidal rage was projected onto the boys who represented his own inadequacy in the eyes of his own domineering father.With rare exception, serial killers objectify and humiliate their victims. Bundy deliberately kept the conversation brief -- if he got to know the victim and saw her as a real person, it would destroy the fantasy.Serial killers are sadists, seeking perverse pleasure in torturing the victim, even resuscitating them at the brink of death so they can torture them some more. ("How's it feel, knowing you're going to die?" Gacy asked his victims as he strangled them, even reciting the 23rd Psalm, urging them to be brave in the face of death.) They need to dominate, control, and "own" the person. Yet when the victim dies, they are abandoned again, left alone with their unfathomable rage and self-hatred. This hellish cycle continues until they are caught or killed... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- START YOUTHINK.COM QUIZ RESULTS ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ One of the most famous killers of all time, Ted Bundy vented his rage on women, mostly college girls, all the while maintaining the facade of a perfectly normal, intelligent, model citizen. His traveling ways, clever tactics, and thorough body disposal methods make it difficult to even say how many women Bundy killed during his reign, but he was definitely one of the most prolific and frightening serial killers of all time.Bundy's rampage most likely began with Kathy Devine, 15, a hitchhiker who disappeared on November 25th, 1973 and found on December 6th. She was sodomized, strangled, and her throat was cut. Lynda Ann Healy soon disappeared from her basement bedroom. In fact, women were disappearing throughout the upper Northwest, some abducted from their home and some vanished right off the street. Still other women had been simply attacked in their bed and most often left to die.Washington investigators, where most of the abductions and attacks were centered, couldn't help but notice. In most cases though, there were no bodies, just missing women, so no true action could be justified. That all changed when a man identified as "Ted" by witnesses, abducted two women from Lake Sammamish State Park on the same day. Police had finally had a name and witnesses to put with a disappearance. The discovery of the two women's remains about a month later, mixed in with the bones of other women, cemented the fact that a serial killer was on the loose. The hunt for Ted Bundy was on.The unknown murderer continued killing despite the best efforts of law enforcement, however. Women soon began to come up missing in Colorado also. Bundy soon moved to Colorado to attend law school. It wasn't long before the abductions picked up where the Northwest's ended. But Bundy's luck finally ran out on August 16th, 1975 when Bundy was spooked by and fled from a squad car around Salt Lake. Arrested for possesion of burglary tools and released, it wasn't long before police noticed the similarities between Bundy and a man who had attempted to abduct Carol DeRonch previously. Bundy was soon arrested for the attack, tried, and convicted.It was fairly obvious at this point that Bundy was the man responsible for the killings in the north, and when he was transferred to the Garfield county Jail in Colorado to await trial for the murder of Caryn Campbell. To the embarrasment of the police, he escaped out a second-story law library window. Bundy took to the woods and eluded the law for a few days until he was recaptured only to escape again from the Carfield County Jail on December 30th, with much more drastic results. He made his way to Tallahasse, Florida and settled near the Florida St. campus. While in Florida, Bundy killed several more women, including a horrifing blitz-style attack in a sorority house on the Florida St. campus that killed two young women, and the abduction of Kimberly Ann Leach, 12, from her school. She was found about two months later in a nearby state park.Leach would be the final victim. bundy was arrested for the final time in Pensacola, Florida after stuggling briefly with a traffic cop. Despite Bundy's attempts to draw out his trial and appeals, acting as his own attorney much of the time, he was sentenced to death and executed on Jaunary 24th, 1989.

You kill for revenge.
That is because you have lost something or someone you held very dear. Now you can't seem to get over the loss that marked your soul, and the only solution is to go after the one person who brought all this pain to you. Chances are you are angry inside and you bottle everything up and don't talk to anyone about it. People may want to help, but you think that they can never understand your pain and only get frustrated because of this. But it is important to see all that you have left and be thankful of that even if you have lost something great. It may not be true that Times heals all wounds, but with time and talking about your feelings, maybe the hurt will ease.

The two sociopaths hit it off instantly and upon their releases, reunited and bought a van, nicknaming it "Murder Mac". Their intentions for the van were simple. They needed room to carry out their plans of kidnapping and murdering young girls.Cindy Schaeffer, 16, was picked up in Redondo Beach on June 24, 1979. Bittaker and Norris drove her to an isolated spot in the mountains, raped her, and strangled her with a coat hanger. About two weeks later on July 8, snared Andrea Hall, 18, from the Pacific Coast Highway. She was raped and Bittaker killed her by stabbing her in the ear with an ice pick. The murderous duo then pulled off a double murder in September, strangling Jackie Gilliam, 15, and Jacqueline Lamp, 13, after two days of sexual torture. On October 31 they celebrated Halloween with what would be their final kill, abducting, torturing, and killing Shirley Ledford, 16, and leaving her body on the front lawn of a home in Sunland, California.Unfortunately for Bittaker, his partner could not keep his mouth shut, telling a friend of their exploits in "Murder Mac". The man quickly went to police and Norris was arrested. He proved easy to crack and confessed, though he predictably laid most of the responsibility on Bittaker. Norris eventually proved more than helpful, leading authorities to the murder and dump sites striking a deal for a lesser prison term in exchange for his testimony against his former partner in crime. His help coupled with the testimony of a girl the pair inexplicably released and the fact that they had audio recording of Lamp's murder resulted in Bittaker being sentenced to death in 1981. Norris was sentenced to just 45-to-life. He is eligible for parole in 2010. What Type of Person Are You? [pictures + detailed results]
The cynical - The dreamless
Cynics have similar traits to the Pessimist, but unlike the Pessimist, Cynics are fine with how things work. These type of people have no real expectations in life, or at least they try to not have. Perhaps it is an empty life they lead, but they rarely let anyone know of their misfortunes.
They are true sceptics, doubting everything presented to them. Unless they already know about it being true, they will not believe. Cynics see themselves as realists, for they believe they've got reality all figured out. People often perceive them to e cold, and Cynics rarely share themselves with people to prove otherwise. After all, people aren't meant to be trusted. Yet Cynics have no bigger issue with this. Time has led them to accept things.
They are no dreamers either. They certainly don't have, what they would call, "childish fantasies". They stick to what they know. It is not that they are reluctant to accept new things -perhaps they are- but they don't find the evidence all too convincing for them to adopt another type of thinking.
Cynics are not charming people. They prefer to say truthful statements instead of sugar-coating. They are not seen as particularly sensitive -even though they may or may not be- as they show little consideration. They see through facades and lies and lean on facts and logic for support. Whether or not they are social, Cynics don't value relationships that much. Of course there might be an exception or two, but they generally live for themselves. Emotions are for fools, they think. Even though they feel this way, it doesn't mean they don't harbour them. They are just more secretive about it than others.

I'd like to meet:

In early 1997, Poughkeepsie, New York, police became concerned about a rash of recent missing persons. Since October of the previous year three women had disappeared, all petite, white prostitutes. It seemed to be much more than a coincidence. Further alarm was raised when Catherine Marsh was reported missing in March. She had last been seen during the same time frame as the other three women. Police fruitlessly searched rapsheets and Jane Doe listings to try to locate the women but had no success.On November 13, 1997, Mary Giaccone was reported missing when she could not be located to attend her mother's funeral. She also closely resembled the other women. Police had no promising suspects except a man named Kendall Francois, a lifelong Poughkeepsie resident who lived with his parents. Police surveilled and interviewed Francois and even poked around his bedroom but had absolutely no reason to detain him. He remained just one of many suspects until a January 1998 arrest for assulting a prostitute in his parents home, for which he served fifteen days in jail.In June of 1998 Sandra Dean French disappeared from nearby Dover. Her car was found abandonded three days later in Poughkeepsie and three blocks from the Francois home. Then in August Catina Newmaster also Dissapeared. Like all the other missing women she was a short, petite, white prostitute, with brown hair and blue eyes in most cases.On September 1, 1998 police detectives working on the case caught a break. Pulling into a gas station whey were confronted by a man who claimed another man had just assaulted a woman nearby. The attacker was Kendall Francois. Officers brought Francois to the station for questioning and soon admitted to his involvement in the string of disappearances. The police then obtained a warrant for the Francois residence and shortly after midnight that night began a search of the home.Within an hour a body had been discovered and by the time a search was completed po;oce had recovered eight corpses from the putrid, garbage-filled house, five in the attic and three in th basement. Interested spectators nearby were overcome by the horrid odors of trash and death emanating from the Francois home. Seven of the missing women were among the victims. The other body was of a women from New Rochelle who was never reported missing. Only one women remained missing and she was later mostly ruled out a possible victim because she is black, while all of Francois' victims were white and found inside his home.Francois was indicted on eight counts of murder and plead guilty, avoiding a possible death sentence. Ironically Francois contracted AIDS, possibly from one of his victims. He was eventually sentenced to life without parole. His family denied any knowledge of his deeds. Apparently the stink of garbage in the house covered the odor of the bodies, keeping Francois' family clueless to his murderous activities.------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------All sexial crime is driven by fantasy -- Stayner, the accused Yosemite killer, told a reporter he's been dreaming of killing women for 30 years, since he was 7 -- and because no two serial killers share exactly the same murder fantasy, possession means something different to each of them, too.Bundy, for example, desired a lifeless female form -- comatose or dead. Just before his 1989 execution, he admitted to police detectives that he kept some of his victims in such a state for hours or days before disposing of them. Various of his 30 or so victims were buried in shallow woodland graves, where he sometimes revisited them. One who was found frozen in the mountains of Utah appeared to have recieved a post-mortem shampoo. Another was given a fresh application of make-up before Bundy discarded her body. "If you've got time, they can be anyone you want them to be," he later told FBI agent Bill Hagmaier, who came to know Bundy intimately while interviewing him in the 1980s.Bundy explained to the agent that "murder isn't just a crime of lust or violence. It becomes possession. They are part of you . . . You feel the last bit of breath leaving their bodies . . . You're looking into their eyes . . . A person in that situation is God!"Bundy even photographed his victims and kept a stash of their skulls in his Seattle apartment. "When you work hard to do something right," he said, "you dont want to forget it."For Mike DeBardeleben, a sexual sadist who is spending the balance of his days in federal prison for crimes as various as counterfeiting and rape-abduction, possession meant a live victim, suffering under his control. "There is no greater power over another person than that of inflicting pain on her," DeBardeleben wrote in his private journal. "To force her to undergo suffering without her being able to defend herself. The pleasure in that contrast domination over another person is the very essence of the sadistic drive."John Wayne Gacy asserted total command of his young male victims by burying most of them directly under his house. They literally were arrayed beneath his feet.Jeffrey Dahmer went so far as to physically consume his victims -- complete possession, total annihilation -- as did California serial killer Edmund Kemper, who sliced a bit of one girl's leg into a macaroni casserole.-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------Jeffery Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 21, 1960. The son of a chemist, Dahmer should have had a normal life. But his childhood in Bath, Ohio, where he and his family moved in 1968, was marked by a growing obsession with severe cruelty to animanls, bizarre behavior, and alcoholism.It was in Bath that Dahmer began to kill. Alone in the family home after his parents divorced in 1978, he picked up hitchhiker Steven Hicks, bludgeoned and strangled him, smashing his bones with a sledgehammer and scattering them in the woods behind his home. He apparently kept his murderous impulse under control until September 15, 1987. Living with his grandmother back in Milwaukee, Dahmer killed Steven Tuomi and eventually took the lives of seventeen men including the sad case of Konerak Synthasomphone, who escaped from the killer only to be mistakenly handed back by the police who believed the two were homosexual lovers having a quarrel. Ironically, Konerak's older brother also escaped from Dahmer three years earlier. The attack had jailed Dahmer for ten months in work release.Dahmer was finally apprehended on July 22, 1991. Tracy Edwards escaped the murderer's tiny Milwaukee apartment and flagged down a police car nearby. The officers went to Dahmer's apartment where they were denied entry and after wrestling Dahmer down and cuffing him they took a look around. What they found was incredible. Human heads and skulls were stashed in the refrigerator and pictures of dismembered bodies littered the bedroom.Dahmer was arrested and a media explosion his Milwaukee. No one had even had a clue a serial killer was at work until his arrest. Dahmer confessed readily and went to trial pleading guilty but insane. The trial was stock full of gruesome details of cannabalism and necrophilia, with police and the defense attorney telling of how Dahmer drilled holes on some of his victims heads and poured acid into their skulls while they were still alive. He wanted zombies that could not resist and could not leave him.Found sane by a jury Dahmer was sentenced to 15 life terms in the Colombia Correctional Institution. Originally ordered into solitary for his own protection, he talked his way into a unit for prisoners with emotional problems after just a year. On November 28th, 1993, Dahmer was killed by one of the units other inmates.

Music:

I can listen to almost any kind of music I suppose----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----- There are four primary forms of criminal cannibalism: Sexual Cannibalism, Aggression Cannibalism, Spiritual and Ritual Cannibalism, and Epicurean/Nutritional Cannibalism.These various forms substantially overlap with one another. For example, one may consume human flesh for several purposes, such as to achieve a sense of power and control (aggression cannibalism), yet one may also find the taste to be agreeable (epicurean/nutritional cannibalism). Another may indulge in cannibalism in order to reach a higher spiritual affinity with the person they have devoured, simultaneously achieving intense sexual gratification.Sexual cannibalism is considered to be a psychosexual disorder, which involves a person sexualizing the consumption of another person's flesh. This does not necessarily suggest that the cannibal achieves sexual gratification only in the act of consuming human flesh, but also may release sexual frustration or pent up anger. Sexual cannibalism is considered to be a form of sexual sadism and is often associated with the act of necrophilia (sex with corpses). There have been several high profile cases, which have involved sexual cannibalism, including that of Andrei Chikatilo, Edward Gein, Albert Fish, Armin M and Jeffery Dahmer.During the 1920's Americans were confronted with the horrors of Albert Fish who was said to have raped, murdered and eaten a number of children. Fish was a sexual cannibal in the truest sense of the term and claimed to have experienced enormous sexual pleasure when he imagined eating a person or when he actually indulged his fantasies.Andrei Chikatilo, a Russian serial killer, was responsible for the murders of scores of young boys and girls. During most of his life, Chikatilo suffered from impotency and was only able to achieve sexual gratification from the torture and murder of other people. He would often mutilate and then consume the flesh of his victims, including the breasts, genitalia and internal sex organs, as well as other body parts. It is possible that he also achieved sexual gratification when cannibalizing. Chikatilo claimed that he was disgusted by the "loose morals" of many of his victims, who served as painful reminders of his own sexual incompetence. Moira Martingale writes in Cannibal Killers that many of the murders Chikatilo committed came after viewing sexually explicit or violent videos.Edward Gein, a farmer from Plainfield, Wisconsin was as believed to have killed at least three people including his brother, a bar keeper named Mary Hogan and the owner of the local hardware store, Bernice Worden. In 1957, police searched Gein's home and found the body of Worden along with the remains of over fifteen other women. A majority of the remains found at the crime scene were robbed from a nearby cemetery. Gein was believed to have had sexual contact with the corpses.He was also an admitted transvestite, who found delight in dismembering the bodies and peeling away the skin of the corpses so that he could wear them around the house. Gein was known to have cannibalized some of the bodies, including Worden's whose heart was in a pan on the stove at the time police conducted their search of the house. Whether Gein sexualized the consumption of his victims was unclear. However, there was a strong relationship between his necrophilia and cannibalistic behavior.Intriguingly, some people that claim to be cannibals have admitted to feeling a sense of euphoria and/or intense sexual stimulation when consuming human flesh. In an artical written by Clara Bruce titled Chew On This: You're What's for Dinner, anthropophagists compared eating human flesh with having an orgasm. The experience was further believed to cause an out-of-body-experience causing effects comparable to taking mescaline.Most acts of cannibalism are, to a degree, motiviated by a desire to express power or control over the victim. Cannibalism is the ultimate expression of dominance over another person. Aggression cannibalism includes acts of cannibalism that are motivated by feelings of hostility and/or fear, creating an overriding need to exert power, revenge or control over the victim by murdering and then consuming him.Aggression cannibalism is one of the more common forms of cannibalism and often overlaps with other types of anthropophagy, especially spiritual, ritualistic and sexual cannibalism. Some forms of aggression cannibalism have recently gained worldwide media attention. The most recent cases include, Anna Zimmerman and Ed Kemper.In 1981 Anna Zimmerman, 26, a German mother of two, murdered her boyfriend out of anger and revenge and then dismembered his body. She froze his remains and over-time defrosted portions of his body and consumed them with her unsuspecting children. She represents one of the few known cases of female criminal cannibals.Edmund Kemper was found guilty of the murderes of six young women, his two grandparents, his mother and mother's friend. Kemper's killing spree and cannibalism was believed to be the result of his disdian for his mother and an unhappy childhood. According to Kemper, his mother psychologically abused him and at one point forced him to sleep in the cold and dark basement when he was a child. While in the basement, his hate for his mother began to fester. In order to release the pent up anger he would often entertain murderous fantasies.Many of the murders Kemper committed had a large sexual component to them: he raped some of his victims, killed them and then sexually molested the corpses. However, it is believed that the murders were primarily motivated by his feelings of anger and revenge, directly and indirectly towards his mother. In fact, Kemper claimed that the unpleasant relationship with his mother was what influenced him to act out his violent fantasies, which included cannibalism.

David Berkowitz was born June 1, 1953. Originally named David Falco, Berkowitz was given up for adoption and subsequently adopted by Nathan and Pearl Berkowitz. Despite the fact that the couple reportedlt adored him, Berkowitz grew up feeling abandoned and rejected because his birth mother did not apparently want him. His adoptive parents didn't help matters when they falsely told him that his mother had died giving birth to him, leaving Berkowitz with feelings of intense guilt as a child. After a troubled childhood and a disasterous stint in the Army, he found out his birth mother was still alive. His mother wanted little to do with him and Berkowitz was left feeling alone and shunned again. It wasn't long after this that he began his murders that until his arrest would be attributed to the fearsome "Son of Sam".On July 29th, 1976, Berkowitz fired into a car containing two girls, injuring one and killing Jody Valenti. Berkowitz followed this by shooting Carl Denaro while the man was sitting in a parked car with his girlfriend, who was not injured. Denaro was nearly killed, somehow surviving a gunshot to his head. In November, two young women were shot from nearly point blank range, but managed to survive though one was paralyzed.1977 did not bring an end to the attacks. Berkowitz just became deadlier. In January, he killed Christine Freund while she sat in a car in Queens with her boyfriend. On March 8th, he shot and killed Virginia Voskerichian. On April 17th a couple parked in a secluded lovers lane were shot and killed while sitting in there vehicle. Though police knew they had a serial killer on their hands, a letter left at the scene was signed "Son of Sam". Their killer now had a nickname but the fearful public was screaming for an arrest.Berkowitz was fishing for attention also. In addition to the crime scene letter, he now wrote to newspaper writer Jimmy Breslin. The rambling letter was printed in part by the Daily News, petrifying the citizens of New York even further, which, of course was the point. Berkowitz was enjoying himself completely, but his luck was running out. On June 26th he opened fire with his 44 outside of a Queens nightclub, injuring a couple while they sat in their car. Soon after, Stacy Moskowitz and her boyfriend were shot while necking in a car in Brooklyn. Moskowitz later died from a headwound but Berkowitz had finally made a critical mistake. He had been issued a parking ticket near the Moskowitz killing at around the same time and after investigating the man a bit, they decided to move. On August 10th, Berkowitz was arrested outside his Yonkers apartment and volunteered his guilt immediately.Berkowitz' year-long killing spree was finally over and he plead guilty at his subsequent trial and was sentenced to 365 years in prison, though he attempted to deflect blame for the killings to a dog owned by an aquaintance Sam Carr, which supposedly gave him his orders to kill. Berkowitz later confessed that the rediculous story was untrue and he resides in prison to this day.

His father was verbally abusive toward him and the young Gacy suffered from dizzy spells often in his youth, the result of being his in the head by a swing at the age of 11. Still he graduated from business school and moved to Iowa where he became a successful shoe salesman. When he married Marlynn Myers in 1964 he took a management position in his father-in-laws fast food business. At this point Gacy seemed like a normal everyday fella who was involved in the Waterloo community and respected.Then he attempted to sodomize a boy he had lured into the back of the resteraunt he managed after the boy refused to perform oral sex. The boy went to the police and Gacy was convicted of sexual molestation and given a sentence of ten years in prison. He served only 18 months but it was long enough to send his life into a tailspin. His wife divorced him and his criminal record made work in Iowa impossible so he moved back to his hometown of Chicago. Gacy worked to ragain his social standing and began his own construction business. He also entertained at childrens' parties as Pogo The Clown and became heavily involved in the local political scene. Carole Hoff became his second wife in 1972 but the marriage didnt last long when she found her husband had a very loose reign on a violent temper. On his own again, Gacy turned his attention on aquiring the company of young men. And killing them.Gacy hadn't stayed completely trouble-free in Chicago. He had been accused of attempting to force sex with a young man shortly after his arrival in the Windy City but had escaped justice when the boy would not testify. In 1978 his warped fantasies of sexual abuse and murder had taken over and Gacy began not only cruising for young homosexuals, but luring boys that were simply looking for work to his home on the pretext of employment at his construction company. He even managed to go on killing after he released Jeffrey Rignall after picking up in a known homosexual area. Taking the boy home he tortured Rignall, repeatedly knocking him unconscious with chloroform, until the youth promised that he would leave Chicago forever if Gacy would let him go which, unbelievably, Gacy did. Rignall went to police but they could not locate the man. Rignall had been too out of it to know where the house was and had never caught his abductor's name. Eventually he located Gacy's car on his own and turned him in but it resulted in only a misdemeanor battery charge. Gacy was free to go on with his killing and had no doubt learned an important lesson.On December 11, 1978, Gacy murdered Robert Piest. When Piest's mother reported him missing it was found that he met with Gacy to discuss a possible job and had never been seen again. After taking a close look at his prior record, police began to focus heavily on Gacy, though they had no idea there was even a string of serial killings at the time. They began tight surveillance on gacy, who acted erratically, inviting the officers sitting outside his home inside to have a cup of coffee. The cops immediately smelled a strong odor in the home, which Gacy chalked up to dump problems. A warrant was soon obtained and Gacy was arrested, though the police really had little to go on and certainly had no clue what they were about to uncover in the aging businessman's house.What they found was one of the most gruesome scenes in the history of American crime. 29 bodies were buried in Gacy's crawlspace, covered with lime and dirt. The victims ranged in age between 9 and mid-twenties. Some were homosexual and some were men who worked for, or sought out work from Gacy. All had doubtlessly endured savage sexual torture such as Rignall, the survivor, had. Gacy also admitted to dumping bodies in the Des Plaines river when he had gotten too lazy or weak to bury the m in the small crawlspace. The house had to literally be gutted in the effort to recover the bodies of the victims and had to be later torn down.Gacy was tried in 1980 and sentenced to death. He continually changed his story, even claiming that some men who worked for him had actually killed the men and boys and buried them in HIS basement, and that for whatever reason, Gacy had not alerted police. His ridiculous claims cast aside, Gacy was executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994.------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---In the latter months of 1977, Los Angeles was terrorized by a killer that was dubbed "The Hillside Strangler". Eventually it was discovered that the serial killer was actually a pair, cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono. Their murderous rampage began shortly after Bianchi moved from Rochester, N.Y. to live with Buono in L.A. and would not end until the two feuded and Bianchi moved to Bellingham, Washington. On his own he raped and stragled two college students and was immediately identified by witnesses who saw him with the two girls.While under arrest Bianchi, who had read numerous psychiatric books in anticipation of being caught one day, claimed to be a split personality and almost managed to fool psychiatrists. After being found out he put Plan B into effect, pleading guilty and accepting a life sentence in Washington to avoid a possible death penalty in return for implicating Buono in California.Once in California Bianchi told of how he and Buono posed as police officers and ordered women into their car, driving them to the cousin's home. They were then sexually assaulted, strangled, and their bodies washed clean of evidence. The pair then went in search of hillsides in places where the bodies could be easily discovered, then dumped and grotesquely posed the women. Bianchi liked to play games however, and later convicted of only one murder and was sentenced to life in prison, though it is believed he and his killer cousin murdered at least eight women together during the last two months of 1977. Bianchi's trial behavior earned him a trip back to the state of Washington's Walla Walla Prison, which he was trying to avoid, where he too is serving life. In addition to the two Washington victims and the eight California victims, he is also a likely suspect in a few killings in his hometown of Rochester.10/2/2002-Buono died in his prison cell on September 21. He had a history of heart problems and no foul play was involved.

Newport Beach, Calif., forensic psychiatrist Park Elliott Dietz has shown that most mass murders (defined by the FBI as "a homicide involving four or more victims in one location and within one event") are committed by the depressed and the paranoid, who see themselves as agents, even heroes, of retribution, angrily lashing out at a world they fear and hate.If they survive going postal (and few of them do), Dietz reports, mass killers are uniformly disappointed to discover the experience doesn't solve, but actually intensifies, their psychic pain. Moreover, for all the bloody drama, mass murder is a copycat crime. These killers take on an original theme by Charles Joseph Whitman, the University of Texas tower shooter who invented modern mass murder 33 years ago.Not so the self-realizing ritualistic killer, who selects for cunning, psychopathology and hyper-narcissim. Above all, this killer savors his work, obsesses on it, keeps souvenirs and sometimes detailed records. He is not in pain; he causes it. His need exceeds sex and violence. It is a pathological desire for complete mastery; he wants to engulf and to annihilate a victim. As Bundy explicitly expressed it to me, the thrill in sexual homicide comes with "possessing" victims "physically as one would possess a potted plant, a painting or a Porsche. Owning, as it were, this individual."Roy Hazelwood, a former FBI profiler and specialist in sexual criminals now retired from the bureau's Behavioral Science Unit, says it was Harvey Glatman, Los Angeles' so-called Lonely Hearts Killer of the 1950s, who first illustrated this truth to him.Studying Glatman (who was executed in 1959), Hazelwood puzzled over his habit of first incapacitating his victims in their apartments, then binding them and transporting them out into the desert, where Glatman finally killed them. "He could have raped and killed these women in their apartments," says Hazelwood. "But Glatman kept them alive at increased risk to himself. I realized that the enjoyment he took made the risk worth it to him. I later understood that enjoyment, that sense of possession, is power to the ritualistic offender, and total possession is absolute power."----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -----Though by most standards not technically a serial killer, no complation of monsters would be complete without the incomparable Ed Gein. The quiet Wisconsin farmer is truly one of the most goulish criminals in history.Gein was born in 1906 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, but his family moved to the now infamous Plainfield early in his childhood. His mother was a fanatically religious women who preached daily about the evils of loose women and his father was an alcoholic who abused Gein and his brother, both of whom were quite passive boys.Gein consquently grew up to be a lonely, twisted man. He took an avid interest in anatomy and crime, devouring books on such subjects for years. In 1945 Gein's mother died of a stroke, following his father and brother into the grave and leaving Gein alone to his fantasies. It wasn't long before his lack of supervision allowed him to act on those fantasies and he began robbing graves with the help of an elderly friend named Gus. Gein would take part or whole bodies, and using skin, hair, skulls, and various other selected portions of the corpses to experiment with.The materials he gathered from his graverobbing apparently failed to satisfy Gein eventually and in 1954 he shot and killed barmaid Mary Hogan at a local tavern after closing time. The in 1957 he did the same to Bernice Worden as she worked in her Plainfield hardware store. Worden's police deputy son found the store locked later that day and upon investigating, discovered blood on the floor and the cash register missing. The last sales reciept was signed by local eccentric Ed Gein. Leaving Worden's son behind, the local sherrif went to Gein's run-down farm to locate him.the scene discovered at the Gein house was shocking to say the least. Walking through an unlocked back door that led into a small room they found Mrs. Worden hanging upside down, headless, and gutted. More was to come and before the house was done being searched a gruesome picture had emerged. The freezer was stocked with human organs. A shoebox contaning women's vulvas and bowls carved from skulls were casually laid around. Masks made from facial skin of women were hanging from the walls. Skin had been employed in the construction of both a lampshade and a crude coffee-can drum.Gein was arrested and readily admitted his crimes. He was found guilty but insane in his 1968 trial and spent the rest of his life living uneventfully in mental hospitals. He passes away in 1984 of natural causes.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Books are my thing I think I would go crazy if I couldn't read.

According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statizstics, infant homicides are classified as "death purposefully inflicted by other persons on children less than one year old."Studies from the same source also indicate that "homicide is the leading cause of injury deaths among infants under one year of age in the United States and is the 15th leading cause of infant mortality from all causes."In Australia, the Australian Institute of Criminology reports similar statistics: "more infants under the age of one year are murdered each year in Australia than die in either motor traffic accidents, accidental poisonings, falls or drowning. Between 1989 and 1993 an average of 27 children aged under 15 were murdered each year in Australia. Almost two thirds of these children were aged five or less. Around half of all children killed by assaults were under one year of age."In a controversial artical in Australia's New Weekly magazine, Judy Write, a criminologist at the Australia Institute of Public Saftey in Melbourne, revealed the findings of her own investigation which she says shows that women are "getting away with murder."Her 1990 study revealed difficulties in prosecuting mothers that kill their children because "a mother's role is revered in society. Her study also indicates that when women are brought to trial for killing their children they mostly rely on mental disorders as their defense," she said. "It's all due to beliefs that no sane mother could be capable of wanting to kill her own child.""We look for explanations to say those mothers who kill must be sick not bad, just mad. Though we rather not think about it, women are capable of killing for the same reasons as men anger, revenge, and power," she said.To reach her findings, Wright examined hundreds of autopsy reports, coroner's findings, Victorian Police homicide statistics and Supreme Court files as she investigated the deaths of seventy-four children between 1978 and 1990. She discovered that "more than half had been murdered by their mothers, and in 11 cases women killed more than one child. Children had been drowned, set alight, stabbed, suffocated and one baby had even been thrown out of a window by it's mother who was furious at her partner for paying attention to their dog.""There were other deaths where mother's sketchy explanations sounded suspicios, and 16 where the cause was undetermined. Many weren't charged with murder, though there were clearly elements of rational planning in the offences. Those who were charged recieved lenient sentences after arguing they were traumatized, and others were given probation. Most were considered unwell and were treated accordingly."As a result of her research, Wright also believes that many homicides have been falsely attributed to SIDS."It's a tragic excuse because it really devalues the pain of parents who genuinely lose children to SIDS she says."------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----David Carpenter was a severe stutterer with an insatiable sex drive and a propensity for violence though, by serial killer standards, he appears to have been a late bloomer. His frist serious violent offense ocurred in 1960 when, at the age of 33, he was arrested and sentenced to 14 years in prison for attacking a women with a hammer and knife. He spent a little more than half of that sentence behind bars, earning a return trip to prison in 1970 for kidnapping and was released 1977. Between his two extended prison stays he was a major suspect in the famous Zodiac murders but was eventually cleared.Carpenter may have proved not to be the Zodiac but it wasnt long before he was claiming lives of his own. His first victim may have been an aquaintance, Anne Kelly Menjivar, who disappeared from her home in late 1979 and was found dead in Mt. Tanalpais Park, located in the San Francisco Bay area. His death was not linked to Carpenter until after his arrest. Mt. Tamalpais was also the scene of the next three murders. In August of 1979 Edda Kane disappeared from the park while hiking. She was found shot in the back of the head in a kneeling position. Then in March of 1980 Barbera Schwartz, 23, was found in the same position as Kane, but died of stab wounds to the chest. 26-year-old Anne Alderson was next in October when she was found shot in the head after vanshishing during a jog. The police had what appeared to be an excellent suspect soon afterward when a man who lived with his mother and brother on Mt. Tamalpais was caught after killing his two family members and hiding in the surrounding woods for a few days. He was soon cleared of suspicion and the "Trailside Killer" continued his killings.Carpenter made his mark in the media on November 29, 1980. Two days earlier Shawna May, 25, disappeared from Point Reyes Park while hiking. Two days later she was found dead from a bullet to the head. This time however she was joined by Diane O'Connell, 22, who had disappeared about a month earlier from the park. She was found beside May's shallow grave, also shot in the head. As if that wasn't enough, later in the day two more bodies were found in Point Reyes, both victims of the mysterious killer. Cynthia Moreland, 18, and Richard Towers, 19, had been killed on the same October weekend as Alderson in October. The media frenzy focused on the case with the discovery of four bodies in one day was almost expected and near-panic ensued.In March of 1981 Carpenter struck yet again, killing Ellen Hanson in a park near Santa Cruz. Her boyfriend survived, however, and gave police enough of a description to finally release a composite sketch of the suspect. Parkgoers also told police of a small red car that was in the area during the attack. Armed with this info all the cops needed was a break and they got one on May 1, 19181, although it would be at the expense of one more victim. 20-year-old Heather Scaggs disappeared on her way to the home of Carpenter, who knew her from work and was rumored to habe attempted to date the young woman. When police came to his home to question him, they couldn't help but notice his resemblance to the composite sketch of the Trailside Killer and his shiny red Fiat, a dead-ringer for the car seen near the Hanson murder scene. They kept Carpenter under surveillance until Scaggs' body turned up in Big Basin State Park and he was finally arrested.Carpenter had a history of sex crimes. An aquantance admitted selling the ex-con a .45 which was used in several of the killings, though Carpenter had gotten rid of it by the time of his arrest. A .38 another man had bought from Carpenter proved to be the gun used in the last two killings. It was an open-and-shut case and on July 6, 1984, the "Trailside Killer" was sentenced to die in the gas chamber for the Hansen and Scaggs murders. He was later tried and convicted of murder in five of the other slayings. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------Ta ke the quiz:

Still, while the equivalent percentage compared to male violence is small ( 15 percent to 85 percent ) the fact that the numbers have elevated so drastically points to something changing in society.Sociologists try to explain it, so do criminologists, theologists, politicians and world historians, but the resulting message is clear, and that message is that females are not alien to committing violent acts. In recent years, women have committed some of the most heinous crimes. Darlie Routier killed her two sons for reasons blamed on personal economics. Diane Downs killed one of her three children (she tried to kill all of them) in order to win back a lover who didnt want kids. Susan Smith drowned her boys in a neighborhood lake because her boyfriend did not want the responsibility of raising some other man's children. Karla Homolka abd husband Paul Bernardo sexually assaulted, tortured and killer several young women for thrills.There are now 130 women on death row in prisons across America. Both Betty Lou Beets and Christina Riggs were put to death in 2000: Beets by lethal injection in Febuary for her husband's murder, and Riggs by lethal injection in May for killing two offspring.American history tells of many femme fatales, of witches in Salem, Massachusetts; lady pirates on the seven seas; bandit empresses in old New York. Basheba Spooner was hanged for killing a Minuteman during the American Revolution. Madame Lalaurie was suspected of torturing tens of Negro slaves in ante-bellum New Orleans. The federal government in 1865 executed Mary Eugenia Surratt for her role in the plot to assassinate President Lincoln. Belle Starr held up stagecoaches and tortured cowpoke in the Wild West. Martha Place killed a stepdaughter in the 1880s and made history by becoming the first women to fry in the electric chair. During the Depression yeas of the 1930s, Bonnie Parker robbed banks and blew away policemen willy-nilly until Texas Rangers blasted her and boyfriend Clyde Barrow to hell in Louisiana. Bonnie Heady died by gas in 1953 for slaughtering a child.Begginning with colonial Miss Spooner, American courts have sentenced to death 539 women.The Bureau of Justic's Statistics Division released a report at the end of 1999 citing an estimared 2.1 million known violent female offenders yearly in the United States. That being the bad news, the flip side is that within the rising violence, the volume of murders committed by females has actually declined. "The rate . . . has been falling since 1980," reads the report, "and in 1998 stood at its lowest level since 1976 40 percent lower."----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -----When Susan Smith murdered her two children in South Carolina in October 1994, people were horrified that a mother could do such a thing to her own children. The public anger directed at Smith intensified when it was realized she led police on a fictitious manhunt for suspects that did not exist and played on media sympathy for her loss. Smith blamed her behavior on troubles with her current boyfriend, who did not want the responsibility of her children.In Texas, a deeply disturbed Andrea Yates, 36, drowned her five young children, including a 6-month-old infant, in the family's bathtub. She then called her husband and told him, "It's time. I did it." Yates defense team said later in court that a severe post-partum depression triggered her murderous rage.It is a crime that is unthinkable for most people because the thought of losing one's own child is a life-long subconscious fear for parents. That may help explain why there is little public sympathy for one who commits this type of crime. Though courts may be willing to listen to explanations from the accused, usually there is no forgiveness. Smith recieved a life sentence withou parole while Yates was sentenced to life with a chance at parole in the year 2040 (later to be let off on a plea of not guilty by reason on insanity). A cursory review of such cases shows a similar pattern of long prison sentences. One of the most extraordinary cases of child murder in 20th century America took place in Schenectady, N.Y. But unlike Smith and Yates cases in which the victims were killed during one tragic incident, there events took place over a period of nearly fourteen years. On Febuary 5, 1986, Marybeth Tinning, 43, a local housewife and former school bus operator, was arrested anf charged with the murder of her 4-month-old daughter, Tami Lynne. As crime stories go, Mrs. Tinning's tale would have barely made the 6 o'clock news.But Marybeth Tinning was a familiar sight in Schenectady's trauma centers. She usually came running into one of the city's emergency rooms, confused and hysterical, typically with one of her babies cradled in her arms, either dead or near dead. The medical staff knew Marybeth well. Some hated her. Others felt great sorrow and pity for her. That's because from January 3, 1972, the day her daughter Jennifer died, until December 10, 1985, when Tami Lynne was found dead in her home, all nine of Marybeth Tinning's children died suddenly and usually without any rational explanation.And no one knew why.
