Killer Who am I?
1. I got away with murder in Whitechapel.
Jack the Ripper who was active in 1888. The Ripper sold plenty of papers in 1888 when he became the first sex murderer. Others before him could be said to be Elizabeth Bathory or Giles de Rais who were aristocratic figures who had a taste for blood but Jack the Ripper was the prototype modern serial killer. Killing with a signature, with a shortening cooling off period, with victims of a certain profile. Serial Killers don't normally just stop so when investigating who the ripper was, the best way to start is too look at suspects who didn't live to see 1889 or 1890.
2. I organised the hits on Maranzano and Masseria.
Lucky Luciano hit both 'moustache Petes' (i.e. first generation of mob leaders) to take over a New York crime syndicate. Maranzano and Masseria were about to get into a war that Luciano saw as simply bad for business. The famous photo shows an Ace of spades put in Masseria's dead hand but the card was put there by the press and not the gangsters. The owner of the restaurant where the Masseria hit went down may have looked the other way but he still got whacked later on the poor bugger. As for Maranzano, he was hit by bogus tax collectors because, unusually for a mobster he was proud of paying his taxes.
3. I now live in the Goulbourn Supermax.
Ivan Milat is the most famous 'resident' at the Supermax. Even today Milat denies culpability in the murders of the backpackers in the early 1990's despite a massive amount of evidence to the contrary. Like many serial killers Milat kept trophies of his victims to prolong the sense of possession and when his house was raided there was a large amount of items belonging to the missing backpackers.
4. I took the rap for ‘The Family’ murders in SA.
Bevan Spencer Von Eimen was the only person convicted of five homosexual sex murders of young boys and men. He refused to name any accomplices and was given a 36 year non parole period. 'The Family' was allegedly a group of homosexual predators who were active from 1973-83 but Von Eimen didn't talk so there are guilty men in high positions in Adelaide today. Who they are though we are unlikely to find out....
5. We are the Hillside Stranglers.
Kenneth Bianci and Angelo Bouno. These guys went berserk in 1977 and racked up a grisly murder toll even by LA standards. In November 1977 they murdered five girls alone. The dominant partner was the older Angelo Bouno who tired of Ken's immaturity and urged him to leave Los Angeles. Bianci did just that but wanted to prove to his cousin Bouno that he was a master criminal in his own right and he was busted on a double murder rap in Washington State. When the Washington cops found out he was from Los Angeles law enforcement made the connection and this led to the arrest and conviction of Angelo Bouno in what was America's longest ever trial at the time.
6. I am the Night Stalker.
Richard Ramirez the sugar and heavy metal freak who when sentenced to death said 'big deal, death always came with the territory..see you in Disneyland'. This was a comment made in reference to his defence counsel who said during his trial 'this young man will never see Disneyland'. Ramirez made the mistake of coming to East LA when the city was looking for him. Outraged Latinos tracked him down and would have beaten him to death if the Police had not came along to arrest him. Ramirez was not a popular figure after 'disgracing the race'.
7. I am a Manson Family member who took a pot shot at a president.
Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme. Squeaky felt guilty because she didn't come along for the ride in the Tate/La Bianca murders and wanted to prove herself to be one of Manson's strongest followers. The gun didn't even have bullets in it. If you ever see this girl being interviewed on TV you can see the remaining marbles trickling out of her ears.
8. I am the Ice Man.
Richard Kulklinski. Kulklinski was a Polish mob contractor who allegedly murdered over 200 people. He got his nickname because he used to freeze his victims to confuse the Police as to when death occurred. Kulklinski didn't have a problem he couldn't kill. He was a giant bloke who used knives, ice picks, rats, cyanide, guns and his bare hands to kill people.
9. I organised the hit on Paul Castellano.
John Gotti. Gotti and his right hand man Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano organised the hit on 'Big Paul' because the soldiers did not respect the Don. The Soldiers thought that the Don hadn't earnt his bones and he lost further cred when he failed to attend the funeral of prominent underboss Neil Dellacroce who just happened to be Gotti's mentor and was also the man who rightfully should have succeeded Carlos Gambino. When Gambino appointed his Cousin Castellano, who turned out to be a greedy bastard his fate was sealed. As a result of this hit, Gotti soon became capo di tutti capo of the Gambino crime family.
10. I committed suicide rather than be apprehended. My partner in crime fled to Canada.
Leonard Lake. Lake was a 'survivalist' who loved to make snuff movies of his victims. Lake's accomplice Charles Ng was eventually captured.
11. I am a female serial killer who was active in Florida.
Aileen Wournos shot her male victims 'in self defence'. Wournos was a fading prostitute with a hatred of middle aged men who were her targets. Wournos spent her last night of freedom at a Biker bar called 'The Last Resort'.
12. I am a serial killer who wore my arm in a sling to lull victims into a false sense of security.
Ted Bundy. Ah Teddy, such a trickster. The very prototype of a sex killer. He started off as a peeping tom and eventually started to cross more and more boundaries until he reached the ultimate limit, murder. Bundy was one of the first killers to kill in multiple police jurisdictions which made it harder for him to be apprehended. His 1977 jail break would be almost comical if it didn't lead to more victims in Florida, where he eventually received the death penalty 11 years after killing his final victim.
13. I lived at 10 Rillington Place.
John Christie was a classic small dick man who killed to make up for it. He set up dimwit Timothy Evans for the murder of his wife and child after Christie killed the wife and a confused Evans did the kid. The dam burst for Christie when he killed his wife who was the one person he ever cared about. Christie stashed his victims under the floorboards and in the wall of his kitchen and moved out. The landlord got a big surprise when he went in to fix up the kitchen.
14. I am a French Doctor who killed for greed during World War II.
Marcel Petiot. Petiot got his Jewish victims to pay through the nose for a fictitious 'escape route' from occupied France. He would gas and poison his victims and watch then die through a hole in the wall. He would keep all of their belongings and the cash. He didn't have to explain anything as the people had made good their escape. Petitot even managed to kill an undercover Gestapo operative. The Gestapo had heard about the escape route and the undercover agent fell into the clutches of Petiot. Petiot felt the lethal kiss of the Guillotine.
15. We are the Moors Murderers.
Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. This case was a tragedy because the law slammed Brady for having a minor criminal record and he came out of the joint an embittered man. Brady might never have become a killer if had not met Myra Hindley. Hindley worshipped Brady and Brady had to continually up the ante for him to internally justify that admiration.
16. I was killed in a car crash in 1977, my lover got sent to Yatala.
Christopher Worrell. Worell was the main suspect in the 'Truro Murders' in SA in the late 1970's. Worrell and his accomplice James Miller were responsible for the deaths of seven girls. The only reason the killing stopped was that Worrell was killed in a car accident in the South East in 1977. His gravestone had 'he brought untold joy toward all' on it. Yeah right. His lover James Miller was investigated after remains were found near Truro SA and he was eventually convicted of the crime. The homosexual Miller was the passive partner who was emotionally and physically dependant on Worrell. Miller used to drive the pick up car and watch while Worrell raped and killed his victims. He died in prison in 2008.
17. I am the Green River Killer.
Gary Ridgeway. A lot of crime books don't know who the Green River killer was. He was only apprehended a few years ago after notching up as many as 50 victims in the Sea-Tac (Seattle Tacoma) strip which is a well known haunt for prostitutes. He got his nickname from the River that he dumped his victims in. No wonder the river was green.
18. I was convicted, then pardoned of the murder of my wife in 1954.
Dr Sam Sheppard. Marilyn Sheppard was found bludgeoned to death in 1954 and her husband Sam Sheppard was convicted of this crime despite flimsy proof. Years later Sheppard was exonerated and released from prison.
19. I got away with axe murdering my parents.
This is much conjecture about this case, the acquitted was Lizzy Borden. The editor of the Fall River Globe campaigned long and hard to get Borden convicted but the evidence was very week and the motive was non existent as it was proven that Borden didn't need to kill her father for an inheritance. Borden, although acquitted was shunned by high society and went to her grave with a gruesome reputation. The crime remains unsolved.
20. I was the inspiration for ‘Psycho’ and ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’.
Ed Gein the 'Plainfield Butcher'. More Psycho than chainsaw, Gein was dominated by his mother and her room remain untouched as a shrine for 12 years after her death. Geins victims were both middle aged women. The conflict within Gein was that he lusted after these women but the spectre of his Mother made him hate himself for his lust and this drove Gein to murder two victims and rob the graves of several more.
21. I dissolved my victims in acid.
John Haig. The problem for Haigy is that Gallstones don't dissolve in Hydrochloric Acid. Busted!
22. I am the Dusseldorf Vampire.
Peter Kurten. Kurten was active for many years and he also had a passion for arson.
23. I am the Monster of the Andes.
Pedro Lopez. Lopez racked up over 300 victims in Ecuador and Columbia. He favoured young girls and wherever he wandered, girls disappeared.
24. I was one of Hitler’s henchmen. I was tracked down by the Israeli Secret Service in 1960.
Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann worked for SS poster boy Reinhard Heydrich who engineered the 'Final Solution' at the Wannasee Conference of 1942. Eichmann's speciality was organisation and he prided himself on his ability to to round up the Jews first for deportation, then later, extermination. After he was tracked down in Argentina he was taken to Israel and executed.
25. I was the killer clown who murdered 33 boys.
John Gacy was a bloke from Chicago who couldn't admit he was gay so he killed the young boys he raped. Gacy was a complex person who could be kind one moment and a raging inferno the next. Gacy would sometimes dress up as a clown to entertain sick children in hospital. Gacy was a successful businessman but an even more successful serial killer. Gacy stored most of his victims in a crawl space under his house. He soon ran out of room though and started dumping bodies in the Des Plaines River. Gacy was given the lethal injection that malfunctioned...he took eighteen minutes to die.
26. I was the candy man who murdered boys in Houston.
Dean Corll. Before Gacy there was another prolific homosexual serial killer who racked up 23 victims in Houston. Corll had a teenaged accomplice who was paid to procure victims for Corll. The accomplice, Wayne Henley, sold his friends to Corll for as little as 250 dollars. Eventually Henley turned on Corll and shot him dead in 1973.
27. I was the Atlanta child murderer.
Wayne Williams. He preyed on young African American boys and was apprehended after being spotted hurling a victim off a bridge rolled up in carpet.
28. I became a murderer after I partnered up with Martha Beck.
Raymond Fernandez. Fernandez was a swindler who ripped off lonely middle aged women. He shagged them and ripped them off and he was out of there. When he first saw Beck he was hugely disappointed because she was huge but this woman was a sexual cauldron and the two made a partnership in hell. Fernandez, like many serial killers suffered a head injury when a falling hatch on a ship cracked his skull. He changed character and he and Martha murdered future Fernandez con victims mostly on the back of Martha's jealous rages.
29. We are the West Memphis Three.
James Misskelly, Jason Baldwin and Damien Ecols. The WM3 have been convicted of a triple homicide of eight year old boys in West Memphis Arkansas. There is considerable doubt as to whether or not these young men are guilty. The lads were into Metallica and Ecols into the Wiccan 'religion' and made suitable scapegoats for an outraged community. Much of the conviction relies on the illegally produced 'confession' of James Misskelly who has the IQ of a lab rat. Damien Ecols was sentenced to death but all three are still actively campaigning for their release. The story of the WM3 can be viewed in the HBO documentary 'Paradise Lost' and 'Paradise Lost II'.
30. I am a giant serial killer who blew away my grandparents when I was a teenager.
Ed Kemper. This guy was huge and downright scary. Staring off to space in his freaky glasses. He shot his grandmother 'because he wanted to see what it felt like' and he shot his grandfather who he actually liked so he didn't have to see his wife's body. He got locked up insane but good old California let him out and he started a head collection of young female students. Kemper's career was complete when he finally murdered his mother.
31. After I killed my wife my lover dressed up as a young boy as we made our getaway by boat.
Dr Hawley Crippen. Crippen was nagged to death. His wife, an untalented Music hall performer was always busting his balls and in the end the adulterous Crippen killed his wife and buried her in the cellar. Crippen and his lover then sailed to America with his lover dressed as a young boy but detectives booked a faster passage and was waiting for them at New York.
32. I was the last woman hanged in Britain.
Ruth Ellis was a vivacious, passionate woman who also had a gun. Her relationship ended with a bang while she got to hang around.
33. I disappeared in 1974 after the Nanny got murdered.
Lord Lucan. You should never hire a Nanny who looks like your wife. Lucan is the chief suspect for this crime and is still listed in Who's Who as he has not been declared dead. The theory behind this one is that in the darkened house Lucan accidentally killed the Nanny Sandra Rivet when he wanted to take out his wife. Lucan did the bolt and has been spotted in as many countries as Elvis.
34. We are a Western Australian couple who committed a series of sex murders in the mid 1980’s.
David and Catherine Birnie. Catherine Birnie was an empty glass and David Birnie was a compulsive masturbator who could only get laid by decent looking chicks if he kidnapped them and took them back to Moorhouse Avenue Fremantle. David would rape them for days while the rage boiled inside Catherine. Australia's most despicable couple by a fair margin.
35. Our house was dubbed ‘The house of Horrors’ by the media after we were apprehended.
Fred and Rose West made the Birnies look like amateurs. This horrific case occurred because a dominant nymphomaniac met a sex obsessed weasel. Towards the end of their murderous career their activity had stopped because there was simply nothing left to explore. Both Wests had a hand in killing their daughters Charmaine and Heather.
36. I blew the whistle on the Snowtown killers.
James Vlassakis. Vlassakis was the star witness for the prosecution in the Snowtown 'bodies in the barrels' case. Vlassakis was abused all of his life by first his father then by a man he hero worshipped, John Bunting. Vlassakis was too weak to stand up to Bunting and Wagner and unwittingly became an accomplice. Vlassakis procured a couple of victims for the Snowtown boys and even had a hand in the murder of his own brother. Vlassakis got 25 years and a blurred face but Bunting and Wagner will never again see the light of day.
37. I am the Pig Farm killer.
Robert Pickton. Pickton was an evil little **** who happened to own a Pig Farm. If ever you don't want to mess with someone, it is someone who owns a pig farm. If you don't know what I'm on about just watch the movie 'snatch'.
38. I was known as Bluebeard.
Desire Henri Landru. This guy used to seduce ladies, marry em for their cash and dispose of them afterwards. A real gentlemen.
39. I am the Son of Sam.
David Berkowitz. Berkowitz just didn't fit in. So he started killing people with a very big (44 calibre) gun. Now he's a religious nutter talking crap on the Internet.
40. I was born ‘No Name Maddox’.
Charles Manson. Charles Manson hasn't spent that much time on the outside but he still managed to rack up a fair bit of chaos when he was. Manson and his 'family' brought the curtain down on the Summer of love when he unleashed the Tate/LaBianca murders onto the American Psyche in August 1969.
41. I ‘killed for company’
Dennis Neilson. Neilson used to idolise his Grandfather because his old man buggered off to Norway after getting his end away. One day Mum said, 'let's go and see Grandad'. When he got to Grandad's house there he was laid out dead on the table. Love and Death were intertwined forever in the mind of Dennis Neilson. Neilson was a homosexual who had an intense fear of being left alone. When one of his young 'friends' was about to leave, Neilson would strangle them and keep the body in the house for days. He soon found out that while you can chop up a body, they don't flush down the drain so well.
42. My hotel was dubbed the ‘Murder Castle’
HH Holmes was a sadist who came up with his delightful murder house just in time to trap unwitting visitors to the Chicago World Fair in 1893. He had corridors that didn't go anywhere, rooms with no windows so he could gas people and chutes all over the place so that he could drop a body into the basement which included an incinerator.
43. I am the ringleader of a gang who committed a sex murder in Sydney. I have a tear drop tattooed near one eye.
John Travers. Travers and his bunch of limp dicks were the arseholes who killed nurse Anita Cobby in a cowardly rape murder in February 1986. Their papers were marked 'never to be released'. Suffer in your jocks.
44. I am Milwaukee’s most infamous serial killer.
Jeffery Dahmer. Dahmer was a disturbed kid who was left to his own devices. He'd cut up animals to 'see how they worked'. When his parents divorced his Mum took his younger brother but all Jeff was left with was an empty house with an equally empty Fridge. Dahmer broke his duck in 1978 when he killed a fellow eighteen year old hitching home from a rock concert. Dahmer knew he wasn't right and there was no one he could talk to about it. So he drank....a lot. When he killed his second victim several years later he was on his way to a new career in serial murder, dismemberment and cannibalism. In a shock twist to this case the Milwaukee Police Department handed over a 14 year old who was half naked and drugged to Dahmer because they thought it was a lover's tiff. Dahmer was calm and thanked the police and then shut the door and murdered the boy. Dahmer got justice when he was smashed in the head in prison.
45. I had a tattoo that said ‘Born to Raise Hell’ and I did.
Richard Speck murdered eight nurses in 1966 and lived out his sentence as a prison bitch who took female hormones to grow breasts. YUK.
46. I confessed to hundreds of murders across the USA.
Henry Lee Lucas confessed to so many murders the cops didn't know whether they were coming or going. Lucas was a born loser with one eye and a lopsided face and his arrest for serial murder was the high point of his life.
47. Caril Fugate went to jail while I fried.
Charles Starkwether went on a rampage in 1958 with his young lover who was eventually freed. Starkwether was another gutless wonder who only walked tall when he had a gun in his hand. His last request was to have Caril Fugate sit on his lap while he rode the lighting on Old Sparky.
48. We are twin brothers who ruled London’s East End.
Reggie and Ronald Kray. The Krays brawled their way to the top in the London Underworld in the 1960's but were too stupid to stop and enjoy their money. Ronnie was as mad as a cut snake and the Krays seemed to thrive when he was locked away in the nuthouse and Reggie took care of business. Ronnie killed George Cornell in the Blind Beggar pub because he called the homosexual Ronnie 'A Big fat Poof in front of a table of villains'. To get on level terms with his brother, Reggie evened the score when he murdered Jack 'the Hat' McVitie. Eventually Leslie Payne talked and the twins got 30 years. Both men died in prison.
49. I was an active Serial Killer for many years in the Soviet Union.
Andrei Chikatilo. Chikatilo is another guy who couldn't get it up so he killed a shitload of people. Law enforcement in the Soviet Union was as sloppy as Chikatilo's crimes scenes and his tally was huge (normally listed as 50+). The stance on serial murder in the USSR was that it was a 'capitalist crime' and the official line was that it didn't exist in the Soviet Union. Even while they were attempting to investigate Chikatilo, they were sweeping him under a rug in a pattern that left him free to kill again and again.
50. I fought for my right to die and was duly executed in Utah.
Gary Gilmore. Gilmore spent enough time in prison to realise he didn't want to spend the rest of his life there after two pointless murders in Utah in 1976. The Police arrested him and then wrote a song about him 'Bring on the Night'.
