Discussion on Serial Killers, Spree Killers, Mass Killers, And single event killers. (2 Viewers)

To start. I have always found Serial Killers fascinating. What makes them do what they do?. I know I am not the only one. This is the place to talk about it. I'll start. Who do you find the most fascinating and why?.

The youngest and only girl was 7. 1980. The oldest 17. 1981.

28 listed victims. But not all the names are listed. Alot say "Attributed to Williams. Closed". What a cop out.

Interestingly the "Atlanta Child Murders" is on the list. Wayne Williams was never charged with the deaths of any children. Only adults.

Wayne Williams didn't kill all of those kids. I guess we'll never know.

Police Thought Deaths of 22 Seniors Were from Natural Causes — But Now They Suspect a Serial Killer

Killed several husbands and her daughter and a brother-in-law. Linda from It's A Crime. An easy and short listen with a ton of info packed into 20 minutes... I cant figure out how she does that...

Then when finally caught after how many husbands, she gets not that bad of a sentence and then she escapes with a man she met in prison (huh, different rules then?). Then when caught again she even has the prison warden and his wife letting her and others out on pleasure outings, going to movies with them, etc... The warden drops her at her mom's for an hours long visit with no supervision...

Yeah. Nothing wrong with that.

Preying on the elderly really pisses me off.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah. Nothing wrong with that.

It was interesting, Linda gets in all necessary details but yet not too log of a video. Did you know flypaper was made with arsenic back in the day? This was what she was using or so it seemed...

 

[Mel70]

This doesn't taste funny at all. That strikes me as strange it wouldn't.

Yeah thanks. I want to kill my Mom too. WTH were they thinking?.

Fly paper was quite 'popular' then, another example (there are more)

We probably think that because arsenic has an "ick" at the end... Lol.

 

[Mel70]

My Grandparents used flypaper on their farm.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah thanks. I want to kill my Mom too. WTH were they thinking?.

Per the video, the sheriff and his wife thought if shown (paraphrasing) trust and compassion, it would help prisoners in their rehabilitation... Interestingly enough she did stop trying to escape when having it that nice but who needs to escape when you get outings like anyone unwatched...??

She served her time if I recall (never should have been out), said she would never marry again and she did but this time he "disappeared"...

They never addressed whether she ever had other children after killing the first... All those marriages, it seems unlikely she wouldn't have been it did not sound like it...

Oh O.K. I was thinking of the ones you hang that are spiral and yellow. Thank You for posting this.

 

[Mel70]

You've had several outbursts of violence while incarcerated. But have I killed anyone? Gotcha there Warden.

That's an interesting read too. Apparently people, or some, were well aware of flypaper and its versatility shall we say?

I remember the sticky fly strips on farms and even in some homes as a child. I don't know that they had arsenic but apparently way back they did...

 

[Mel70]

I didn't either. Rat poison I knew. But not fly paper.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I bet fly paper was a very not unusual purchase by most people so it wouldn't call much attention necessarily like rat poison might... Crafty one wasn't she... Even in the case @Whatsnext posted, he sent I think it said his daughter to purchase it...
