#SERIAL KILLER WITH THE MOST KILLS SERIES#
One of the most recently apprehended serial killers, Israel Keyes, committed a long series of rapes and murders until his capture in 2012. Ridgway practiced the same routine – he returned to the dumping sites to watch the bodies decompose and change color and engaged in sexual acts with them. Bundy applied makeup to the corpses, had sex with them, and lay with the corpses for hours afterward. Bundy often revisited his victims, whom he had dumped at a site in Taylor Mountain. Although Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway had different methods of operation, they had one practice in common. In his letter, Ted Bundy wrote: “Don’t ask me why I believe I’m an expert in this area, just accept that I am and we’ll start from there.”Īlthough the “Green River Killer” Gary Ridgway was caught after matching his DNA with the semen found on the victims’ bodies, Bundy’s insights into the mind of a serial killer were valuable enough. Bundy had written to Reichert after seeing his picture in articles about the Green River killer. The Original Night StalkerĪfter being transferred to Florida’s death row in 1986, the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy contacted Dave Reichert, a young detective, who had been working the case of the Green River killer and offered his help to stop the infamous killer from killing again. It is worth mentioning, that as a result of the Butcher of Rostov investigation, more than 1000 unrelated crimes, including 95 murders and 245 rapes were solved.
In some cases, his bizarre and sadistic methods of killing included dancing naked around his victims and howling like an animal.Īlthough a 60-day psychiatric evaluation revealed that Chikatilo was suffering from a borderline personality disorder with sadistic features, he was legally sane and competent to stand trial. The killer often mutilated his victims, gouged their eyes out, believing they contained a snapshot of the last thing they saw, eviscerated their stomachs, chewed off their noses, and even cut out tongues and genitals. This eventually allowed him to lure his victims to a nearby forest, tie them up with rope, and kill them by stabbing to gain sexual release. Chikatilo mostly targeted females or runaways of various ages and approached them at bus and train stations using some simple ruse, such as offering them money, drugs, alcohol, or, in the cases of his child victims, toys and candy. In 1990, after a 12-year killing career, Andrei Chikatilo was arrested and convicted of killing more than 50 young people in the Soviet Union.
