Why do people say, ‘they can’t be the killer. Their so nice’? Like how else are they suppose to find their victims? Being a creep?

My family had Dennis Nielson over for dinner back in 1971, when my dad was 5 years old. Apparently he was friendly, quiet and struggled to make conversation. They remember hearing about him on the news years later and being shocked.

When I was a baby we lived just 2 blocks away from where BTK lived. Crazy to think that my parents probably saw him not realizing he was the infamous serial killer that had been stalking our city

Never ceases to amaze, most serial life takers have wives, girlfriends and children.
Sometimes after they are caught.

My bio mother's maiden name was 'Sutcliffe' and she ended up changing mine to that when I was a toddler (no, we're not related to Peter Sutcliffe, the surname just means 'South of the cliff' so both families likely came from a similar area). When I was in secondary school we were studying databases in IT and the teacher was using Police databases as an example. She then mentioned the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe...All eyes turned to me and I had to explain that no, I wasn't related to him and the families just came from the same area...
I now live in the general area that the hoaxer came from (although not the exact area)...small world

Rader not only asked if the floppy could be traced but told them to be honest. After getting caught, he asked the detective why did he lie to him.

I remember hearing that when my dad was a kid, his parents freaked out at him for leaving the door unlocked at night, and he was pretty confused about it since his parents usually weren’t like that. Only later in life he learned that BTK was on the loose at that time near their home.

Edit: confusing grammar

A family friend of ours went to college with Jeffrey Dahmer. This friend actually was frat brothers with Dahmer’s roommate. He remembers Dahmer getting arrested. He said no one was shocked bc he was kinda sketchy to begin with.

The story about Nileson being asked how many he had killed happened on the way to Scotland yard with a Chief Inspector riding on the back seat with him and the inspectors' sergeant driving. The Inspector asks Nilson "So, you killed 3 or 4 blokes?". When Nielson replied, "No, more like 15 or 16." The Sergeant related that he was so shocked that he almost wrecked the car.

The things the police and judge said about those poor women is literally the same thinking as Peter Sutcliffe, not seen as human or worth anything and it's absolutely heart breaking, they deserved justice as much as someone with a job in an office

My mom interviewed the BTK guy when she still worked for the state and said he was very nice but you could tell that he enjoyed every he did. Her interview with him took 7 hours

My great grandmother told of starvation times in late 1800s. She told my mother nobody had food or meat except what they grew or hunted. Her husband had killed a bunch of squirrels and took a few to the neighbor. He swore they were all sitting around the table with meat and vegetables and looking closer he saw an infant's HAND on the dinner table surrounded by other pieces of meat. The man's daughter had been pregnant out of wedlock but no baby was ever born or seen. My gg grandmother swears it was born and they ate it.

About a year before Gary Ridgeway was caught as the Green River Killer two of my friends and I met him in a parking lot next to a bike trail along the Green River. We just thought he was a weird guy who asked weird questions about bike races in Seattle, made a comment about smelling weed, and who made a very strange joke about "The green river killer having a green car" (We were in a green VW Bug) and didn't think much of it despite being creeped out.
We had a really bad feeling but I know we were more concerned about this weird guy riding up to us on a bike while we were smoking weed because he might call the cops or something.

But when the news broke and I saw the guys face I knew instantly that we had seen him, I called my friend and the first thing he said to me was "WE MET THE GREEN RIVER KILLER!" so it wasn't just me who was 100% positive we met him.

Finally! More serial killer videos! I missed these.

[claytonbrawner]

There are more of them out there, let’s hope that they get caught too

[sithvsjedi]

Wow! The attitudes of even the judge in saying prostitutes are basically not human is disgusting. Not even searching somebody in a police station?! I was born in 1987 and knew in the past horrid prejudices & treatment existed on a grand scale but this is just utter stupidity & ignorance to a filthy level. Thank goodness we do evolve, albeit slowly.

The Albert Fish letter is regarded as the most vile confession letter in history. (For those who are curious what it says, tread lightly. It’s pretty messed up.)

[dmi]

Interesting piece. And kudos to the creator for rightfully emphasizing that all the killer's victims deserve respect, regardless of their profession.

Rifkin dumped his first victim, Heidi, in my home town. I heard the story as a kid and went to that country club multiple times. I was shocked when they identified her and her killer in 2013
