Serial Killer Trivia

Since London newspapers made Jack the Ripper internationally famous in the late 19th century, serial killers have fascinated, terrified, and haunted us—and understandably so. These real-life monsters often lead ordinary lives, except for their penchant for seeking out and killing men, women, and/or children.From Jeffrey Dahmer’s cannibalism and preservation of victims’ body parts to Aileen Wuornos’ I-75 killing spree in Florida, many stories are stranger than any fiction even the most creative novelist could hope to write

And so, whether in a quest to better understand these individuals and prevent similar crimes or simply out of morbid curiosity, we study their stories, from their (almost always) tragic and abusive childhoods to their heinous, murderous acts and, sometimes, to their own deaths, often at the hands of the government or fellow inmates.
