The fact that she was a woman brought a ton of attention to her case. The only woman to make this list, Aileen Wurnous was a “lot lizard” (aka a truck stop prostitute) who snapped and decided to murder a handful of her clients. After that, I’m sure he’ll end up a lot higher on lists like this. There’s been a book written about Holmes titled Devil in the White City. Apparently it is being turned into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Martin Scorcese. He was also a gigantic con-artist and bigamist (he was married to two different women at the same time) and often called America’s Jack the Ripper.

He was a bit different than other serial killers on this list as his motive was financial he sold the bodies to scientists for a profit. He built a house/hotel of horrors across the street from the world’s fair in Chicago, that essentially was built as a maze and torture chamber.

Of course that didn’t work and when his sewage system backed up and was full of human parts he was arrested. Like Dahmer, he mutilated his victims after they died and would attempt to flush their chunks down the toilet. Often called the “British Dahmer”, Nilsen was a homosexual killer who murdered around 15 gay men in London between… sigh… the late 70’s and early 80’s. Dennis Nilsenĭennis Nilsen and Jeffrey Dahmer (number 4 on this list) would’ve been the best of f(r)iends. He got it, and was sentenced to death but actually ended up dying of cancer in 2013. He was a different kind of killer as his victims ranged from a 9 year old girl to a 60 year old couple he just wanted to kill and wanted the attention. He was infamous because he often referenced the Devil and painted pentagrams on the walls of his victims houses with their blood. Ramirez’s MO was to break into the homes of small girls and then rape, stab/shoot/mutilate them. He’s extremely famous but because he only operated for about a year, he doesn’t crack the top ten (this is such an odd way to rank people!). The “Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez haunted Los Angeles in 19. He’s still alive to this day living it up in a Maximum Security Mental Hospital. Luckily for people in places like Leeds and Bradford, that confession stuck despite the fact that he plead not guilty (on the grounds of diminished responsibility).

He wasn’t the brightest bulb as somehow getting pulled over for having a false license plate lead to him confessing his crimes. Like Jack the Ripper, he targeted prostitutes. In 1981 Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering up to 13 women and attempting to murder 7 others. Peter Sutcliffe was known as the “Yorkshire Ripper” and operated for a short period of time but still left his terrible, terrible mark on society. He received 250 years in prison and thankfully died of a heart attack in 2008.
He has zero empathy and if you have the nerve to watch his documentary you’ll see what a complete sociopath looks like.

After he was released he killed 12 prostitutes between the ages of 22 and 59. He was somehow only convicted of manslaughter for the death of an 8 year old girl and only served 14 years in prison.

He, like many others, targeted prostitutes but he also murdered small children when he was younger. Shawcross was known as the Genesee River Killer and operated in (prepare to get used to this) the 1970’s. Arthur ShawcrossĪrthur Shawcross’ infamy grew thanks to his Netflix Documentary Interview with a Serial Killer. Either way, hunker down and get ready to read about 15 of the most notorious serial killers known to man… 15. While that’s a topic for a different day, it’s really interesting that so many men went mental back then. As you will see, there was a huge increase in serial killers in and around the 1970’s.

They are the closest thing that we have to a movie (in real life) and some of them become so notorious that they become (in)famous whilst in prison. Despite the fact that they’re absolutely abhorrent human beings, serial killers captivate the public’s attention.
