Who, in your opinion, is the worst serial killer of all time?

Question

DonkeyDan · Accepted Answer

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were completely evil and sadistic. They may have the lowest murder count out of all of these but all were children, and Brady used Hindley to lure the kids to go with them, what child wouldn't trust a woman right? Not that she was some innocent person being manipulated, she was pure evil, if you've ever heard the recording of the last moments of 10 year old Lesley Ann Downey's life you'd know why. One of the worst parts of all of this was that they never gave up the location of one of their victims Keith Bennett, and his mother died a few years ago never knowing where her son's body was. Those 2 are burning in hell for all eternity.

This is a good question, I am not able to choose!

Being I have been in the presence of two or more serial killers, and was good friends with both!

I am not able to disclose information of these people, as I have no evidence. Both their IQ is 146.

I read a lot about Serial killers, and how they are either Born, or Made. One of the ones I have met are born, and the other is made!

I do not understand why they both helped me in life, the only reason comes to mind is personal gain!

Personally I see Ed Kemper as the most 'Brutal'

As for worst, in what context do you mean?

I'd have to research it a bit more because I don't know about everyone on your list but the formula for me is merging the total numbers killed vs. how painful, horrible were the deaths... were they terrified knowing they were going to die.

For that reason I can eliminate Son of Sam because the numbers were lower compared to some of the other killers and the deaths were instant... they didn't even know he was coming. They are just sitting in their car and BAM... they are gone.

Someone who inflicted terrifying, agonizing deaths were be a worse killer to me.

Why go with an opinion, when you can go with documentation? ;-) "The most prolific modern serial killer is arguably Dr. Harold Shipman, with 218 probable murders and possibly as many as 250."

Dahmer drilled holes in peoples heads and poured bleach in them. He tortured them slowly until they died. That guy was a different level.

Wester1967 · Answer

I think by far women serial killers are much more terrifying because they use social convention to hide their black hole nihilism. Guys we know are dangerous and potentially violent. Women can sneak in the social back door, sit and have a long conversation with you and then get up and take advantage of your good graces, while you end up on the floor, robbed, broken and bleeding out with a knife in your back. This is far more often the case than people care to admit.

I’m clean sweeping with “all of the above, and those not listed”. The poor victims.

Vesuvius87 · Answer

I feel it's a toss between Ian Brady & Myra Hindley and Ted Bundy. In both cases, children were included. Ted's youngest victim was a 12 years old girl.

These are all Americans. Google Robert Picktford. There's a reason the West has the "Highway Of Tears".

I don't know who half those people are but I can't conceive of anyone more evil than Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. Let's not forget they abducted small children and tortured them to death. Only three bodies were ever found.

Naydyonov · Answer

If you were stabbed to death, would you not go to hell/heaven as a pissed off individual?
Doesn't matter if some other serial killer chopped up his victim, you'd be pissed at your murder regardless.
So it really doesn't matter. They are all bad. They are all the worst.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

Did they all kill women? Sometimes i think about why the majority of serial killers committs their crimes against women? I think the worst is someone who ain't found here and his nickname is "Jack the ripper", the bad news is that he was never found and his real identity was never known...

I think the worst between the ones you mentioned is ted bundy...

blondfrog · Answer

That's like trying to figure out what the smelliest turd is. They're all shit at the end of the day and you can surround a piece of poop with flowers but its still poop.

bolverk · Answer

You missed Fred & Rose West of the list they killed 12 people that we know of (including their 16yo daughter) there are most likely more, but Fred is dead and Rose is not talking.

Bundy, how you gonna kill and rape women and act like a bich when he’s gonna get a pole up his ass? That’s why you shouldn’t kill anybody. I wouldn’t want that or to be hung. I’d rather get the chair lol

You missed several worse ones. I'd select Josef Stalin as the worst serial killer of all time... 10s of millions of people died at his hand.
