Serial Killers

[BACCS]

Acquiring a law degree does not require above average intelligence.

Depends on the type of law degree you are talking about.... Anyway, doesn't matter.

I read a couple of years ago one serial killer, I can't remember which one, said that he tried to be good but everytime he went on a date he just couldnt help imagining what her head would like on a stick.

Last year I read the story of Paul Bernardo and Karla Holmolka. They actually killed Karla's sister.

Are they the two who would drug and rape girls (including her teenage sister), then kill them? They were a terrible lot.

Yeah, thats them. They made a movie a couple of years ago called Karla about them.

Can you remember their names?

Pretty sure it was Paul Bernardo and Karla Holmolka, like mentioned above.

If you want about the best book on the subject get Mindhunter by John Douglas.... He is the guy that set up the whole profiling unit for the FBA
Fascinating read he has interviewed the who's who of S K's.

A few years back a mate from the states sent me a link to the crime scene photos to the Charles Manson Sharon Tate murders....... lead to a few sleepless nights

Ed Gein looked after some of the Wisconson local's diet's. Alfred Hitchcock and Tobe Hooper transferred his horror's to scare the bejesus out of filmgoer's.

The Zodiac is a most interesting case. There was a website a few years back, which is sadly gone now, that was the definitive place to research the Zodiac. It was originally started by a PHD student and kind of got legs (and credibility), so it developed into the ultimate zodiac resource.

A truly chilling series of crimes that, despite the recent unearthing of new suspects and the increased scrutiny over some ol' favourites, is just as mysterious now as what it was back then. The 'killing suit' he made himself.... that code... the taunting....

The guy who ran the website reckoned that none of the suspects fitted the bill perfectly, and I tend to agree. Although, a year or so back there was actually a new suspect that the police looked at because it seemed the perfect fit, but like all the others, was a dead end. Although not enough to convince everyone.

It actually creeps me to write about the Zodiac. Quite a powerful story. Incidentally, they wrote it into a Clint Eastwood film.

I said it in the precvious post but actually there was a typo in that. It was actually Homolka not Holmolka.

Such was the level of the man only Dirty Harry could catch him

Silence of The Lamb's, Texas Chainsaw Massacre etc... killed twice did Gein.

Equally disturbing was his fetish for wearing human skin/part's from recently deceased members at his favourite haunting ground. Ed the digger.

Lonely sick old sole. Apparently his mum's fault (Psycho).

The Claremont Serial Killer is an interesting case.

I used to live in Como, with a girl next door who I was a bit keen on. One weekend one of her friends knocked on my door and asked whether she could come in - she'd turned up to stay at this girl's place and they weren't home. I think I'd only just got home from Claremont, a bit pissed - yeah no worries. She slept on my couch. Really nice girl - typical friendly country girl who'd schooled as a boarder in Claremont. Very shortly after (could have been the next weekend!) her sister went missing - Sarah Spiers.

Seeing her face in the media conference haunts me still. They were horrible times.

Iceman; Confessions of a Mafia hitman is probably the most messed up book I've read. First 200 pages of that is crazy. His dad murdering his brother and burning some guys limbs off with a blow torch. However, I do believe alot of his claims are bullshit.

He claims to have killed Gambino capo Roy DeMeo by shooting him. I recently read the book Gasspipe, another Philip Carlo book which is based on Anthony Gasspipe Casso, a former boss of the Lucchesse crime family. Casso claims to have ordered Roy Demeo killed by his very own team of serial killers. Joey Testa and Anthony Senter in the Gemini Lounge.

Next book I want to get is Murder Machine, based on Roy Demeos life. Anyone read this?

Contract Killer: The Explosive Story of the Mafia's Most Notorious Hit Man is a good read along the lines of "Iceman", written by Mafia freelance hit man Donald "Tony the Greek" Frankos, who was allegedly involved in the Hoffa assassination.

Particularly brutal is the recounted story involving a wise guiy that was found wearing an FBI wire tap which resulted in him being taken out to a farm and dismembered alive with a chain saw.

Frankos was an associate of Jimmy Coonan, the notorious leader of the Hells Kitchen Irish gang, "The Westies".....

....as well as prolific Irish hit man Joe "Mad Dog" Sullivan.

...who were also allegedly involved in the Hoffa hit.

Yeah I find them pretty fascinating also.

I'm also fascinated with some major Missing Person Cases, and Holocaust stories. Major UFO sightings are also pretty interesting.

I don't research them in great depth, mostly just read wikipedia.

I go through phases where i become obsessed with cults and serial killers. The most disturbing serial killers were the snowtown ones - i've only wiki'd them.

The most disturbing cult was charles mansons. I have watched countless docos on it.

Jim Jone's cult is also up there.

The most disturbing mascre of a cult that wasn't a cult was the waco seige.

 

[BACCS]

Just watched a doco on Dennis Nilsen from London, weird fella.

Researcher Michael Butterfield has done a lot of work in recent years to clear up many of the myths and complete BS surrounding the case.

His website is well worth a look for information and also has a good message board.

I wouldn't call him a serial killer but Timothy McVeigh was a creepy f'ker

I've since read his website. Interesting.

Those celebrity crime authors have their own agendas and motivations - Graysmith obviously fits that bill.

Interestingly, the bloke who ran the other site I referred to, said that he thought the so-called prime suspects were all dead ends.
