Andrei Chikatilo

The Green River Killer

Pedro Lopez victim range-300 we have a winner!

No,his official catagory is "Spree-killer"

I'll go with Gein as well.
This guy was as sick as they come. I suggest anyone not familiar with his story to google his name and read it. It WILL totally disgust and creep you out.

Albert Fish gets my vote.

William Pickton...he has the biggest Serial Killing case up here in Canadian history...he is new to the market of serial killings...but the guy is a nut job! He is a pig farmer who would kidnap prostitutes from Vancouvers downtown east side, and take them back to his farm, kill them and use parts of flesh and meat from the victims and mix it with meat of pork for sausages and then he would give and sell his "Meat" mixtures to people who werre unaware what they were buying! The guys is like a Canadian Ed Gein minus the necrophilia!



-General AK47

Ew! That's so sickening! Why do people do things like that?

Harold Shipman, Fred and Rosemary West

These are the ones in Canada that get talked about the most. The whole idea of serial killers just freaks me out.

Dr Harold Shipman was a monster.

The reason I chose Harold Shipman as the worst serial Killer of all time is because he killed at least 215 people whilst being a Doctor.

Don’t get me wrong the Albert Fish's and Jeffery Dahmer’s are true monsters but I feel that Harold Shipman is worse not only because he killed more people but his victims were his patients so he could lie to his unsuspecting victims and there families as well as edit the victims medical records what allowed him to carry on murdering.

He lied to his victims and there families and edited the victims medical records so his colleagues would not suspect he had done anything wrong, he planned everything so he could carry on killing the innocent without any remorse.

Imagine planning your future so that you could kill innocent people over the next 35/40 years!

I read somewhere that he used to take a memento of his victims like a ring or a bit of jewellery, the police apparently used this evidence to help narrow down who some of his victims were but they are still left with a huge bunch of necklace’s and wedding rings, the Police suspect he killed allot more than the 215 he was convicted of and the Shipman inquest suggested the total could be as high as 500!

How can we ever know the damage this man caused?

Wikipedia "Harold Shipman"

Yes, his number of victims is epic.

I have no clue...lol...it is pretty sick but it happened and it is going to be a gruesome reminder that people arn't who they seem to be! So watch what you eat in the future..lol...

Henry Lee Lucas and Otis Toole had quite an impressive number of bodies tied to them. They still don't really know how many...

Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer, is probably one of the worst in the USA, in the modern era. He killed upward of 60 women. He can't even remember how many.

It took them almost 20 years to ARREST him... the reality is that the Seattle/King Co. police always knew it was him, they just didn't have the evidence to pop him until some 5 years ago.

This is a pretty interesting story actually. My former boss actually worked on the Green River Task force in the early/mid 80's on their now famous database as an intern. Since he was in college at that time he also held a parttime job with ya, you guessed it, Kenworth trucking working with Ridgeway. The day the news broke that they'd caught Ridgeway, our boss revealed this story to us. He said the investigators had always known it was Ridgeway but never had the evidence to pop him until DNA got good enough to link him to the crimes. He always felt weird that in the mornings he worked on the Green River Killer Task Force Database, then later in the afternoon went to work with Ridgeway knowing full well that Ridgeway was the killer everyone was looking for. More amazing was that while many people knew Ridgeway was a suspect, no one ever knew the Task Force knew it was him pretty much all along.

Of course, Bundy was prolific too, I grew up close to the park where he abducted a number of women and I can remember my own young mother being pretty well terrified. He was not as prolific as Ridgeway was.

Gee, we here in WA sure know how to turn out good serial killers.

Some people even believe the Zodiac Killer died here in WA a few years ago. But that's still a theory.

You guys forgot Dr harold Shipman, killing possibly hundreds of patients in the UK

I nominate OrpingtonSpurt, damn that guy hates women.

There's a few rumours going around about Albert Fish...one of which says that he kept children up in his attic, and when returning home from work would walk up stairs, slice a piece of meat off a child, wrap it up and give it to his unknowing family for dinner.

Hands down.

Agreed. Did you see the beard on that dude? Obviously a mentalist.

Did anyone hear of the cereal killer called 'Neddykins'? He murdered Tony the Tiger.

No he didnt, it was snap, crackle and pop who he killed. Tony was murdered by Mowberry man eater

There is too much media hype (PRO- HOLLYWOOD) ideals with some of these psychopaths.. They don't deserve the *aww* of their sickness.... Seems like the ones that are truly hard to the core- the most sadistic, antisocial, machines are looked over..forgotten.. We know thru media Bundy, Gacy, Gein, Fish, etc,. What about Berdella, the BTK even, or Lucas (Henry)..., lake and Ng, etc.,

Whenever I think of serial killers, I always think of H.H. Holmes. I did an assignment on him for History in high school, so he was basically the first serial killer I'd ever really been introduced to, besides Jack the Ripper who I didn't know a great deal about at the time. So yeah, those two.

Who? I never heard of him. Do you have a link?___ I think who ever tortures the victims the most is worst. It's not how many, It's what was done. IMO

I know a guy who was supposed to go to work for John Wayne Gacy as a teen....but he sprained his ankle really bad the day before he was supposed to start and it never happened....thatnk God.....B

I Didn't forget about Harold Shipman

My favorite serial killers would have to be

Jack The Ripper

All I heard of him was:
He murdered prostitutes
His identity was never discovered
Some people actually believed he was the Devil
He scares the hell outta me.

My second favorite serial killer would be Albert Fish, aka "The werewolf of wysteria, the Grey man, or the vampire man."
My info on him:
He was interested in sado-masochism and homosexuality
He liked being tortured (look him up on Wiki! I swear, it'll have you blowing your lunch out your nose!) in a kinda homosexual and painfull way (sado-masochism?)
He really liked having needles shoved in his pelvic regions and was executed in an electric bath

I'm pretty glad he's dead, and I hope Jack The Ripper is dead too. They both scare the hell outta me. More than lightning at close range.

Jeffery Dahmer by far is the worst. its a grusome and sad murder case.

Shipman was sitting in his cell when the guard brought his dinner in.
"Chicken Korma tonight, Shipman," the cheery guard says.
An hour later, the guard returns and notices that Shipman has hardly touched his curry.
"What's wrong with your dinner?" he asks.
"Oh nothing," Shipman replies, "but I could've murdered a naan."

Shipman's suicide note has been found. It reads - "I can't go on. I've run out of patience."

They are all really bad how do people do this? I dont have a favorite I HATE THEM ALL!

I agree.

I agree. Rather than saying who is your favorite how about 'Which one do you love to hate the most?' Sounds better.

Not sure if this guy's been mentioned and there are some doubts about the claims of Alexander Pichushkin, but he is a suspect in 61 murders. Using blunt force trauma to their heads, his stated aim was 64 victims, one for each square on a chess board. He faces a pre-trial hearing in a few weeks.

Suspected Serial Killer Arrested in Moscow

John Bunting and Robert Wagner - the snowtown bodies in a barrel case in South Australia. Both John Bunting and Robert Wagner were both serial killers working together, and the victims were people who were both known to each killer, and in some cases their victims helped them kill others before becoming a victim themselves.

The third person who was charged with the murders was groomed at about 14 by Bunting to help in the murders too.

I think they are the worst serial killers I know about because it happened somwhere close to where I live.

iam not sure exact name but something like Chikalitov or something he killed at least a hundred kids in Russia

Pretty sure he only killed three known people of wich two were caught on video. . . .

worst? how bout best? my faves include Jeffery Dahmer and The Zodiac. But there is one group of for men that killed I think in illinois or ohio. They would pick up hookers and kill them in their kidnapper van. but the thing that made them so grusom was that they would mutilate the breasts of there captives and ave intercorse with the wounds in the breast! yuck. any way one girl lived and lead to thier capture

Vlad Dracula. Does he count? If not then maybe Idi Amin or Pol Pot.

Pol Pot was definitely a bad guy. I've always thought the Zodiac was pretty sick too.

Although I guess he's technically not a serial killer, the worst I think is William Quantrill. He was a Confederate guerrilla fighter in Missouri and refused to take prisoners when raiding Union soldiers, militia, and even civilians. At the height of his raids, he and his followers attacked Lawrence, Kansas, an abolitionist town, and killed over 200 men and boys in front of their families. Quite the interesting fellow.
William Quantrill

Cain, in his day he exterminated 1/4 of humanity....

I've never heard the story of where he short-circuited the chair, but he did have needles stuck into his testicles and rectal area, at least 25 of them. He is definately my "favorite" serial killer, but not really so much because of his killings, but because of his perverse sadomasochistic activities. I don't remember the exact quote, but when he was asked what he thought of him being put to death via the chair he said something like "It's one thrill I haven't tried." If you want to know more about Albert Fish, there is a great book by Harold Schechter (who has written several serial killer biographies) called "Deranged."

And Psycho. He only killed two or three people though, which, by some standards, doesn't quite constitute a serial killer.

I think Gacy and Chikatilo have the most verified number of victims.

Hmm, I've never heard of him. Enter Wikipedia, LOL.

Dahmer didn't kill that many. He confessed to 17 murders and they found, all told, the remains of about 11 bodies in his apartment.

I think Gacy killed 33.

Well, if a criminal really did NOT want to get caught, he wouldn't even have to watch the shows. He could check books out at libraries, or take Criminal Justice courses at a college or university. Or, he could just use Google.

Mass murderers are not the same as serial killers though LOL

Manson wasn't a serial killer. And TECHNICALLY, he didn't actually kill anyone.

Manson is generally considered a mass murderer, not a serial killer; and, psychologically, there are differences between the two. Mass murderers kill several people in one sitting, whereas serial killers murder someone, take a cooling off period, then murder again.
