Top 10 Serial Killers
The Top Ten Serial Killers
"Jack the Ripper" was the alias of an unknown serial killer in Whitechapel, London who brutally murdered 5 women (mainly prostitutes) between August and November of 1888. To this day, he has remained a mysterious and popular phenomena among serial killers and popular media. Most famous in history and possibly a person of importance in English government.
Come on, its Jack the Ripper, Jacky's number 1. Well, I don't plan on ever changing my career choice to serial killer or law officer, so I don't research serial killers (I'm pretty ignorant to the subject). But he's definitely the most famous, and often times a serial killers main goal is fame, so I guess Jack wins.
As someone who isn't ignorant to the subject and studies them, I can say that the ones who have been caught are much more interesting. But if you want a good killer who was never caught, look at Charlie Chop-Off. Or Jack the Stripper. - DogmeatAndRex

Theodore Robert Bundy was an American serial killer, kidnapper, rapist, and necrophiliac who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. Ted Bundy should be #1. I feel bad for the people who lived when he roamed the streets.
People say he looked handsome and normal but underneath that smile was a monster.
A very perverted, sick, disturbed individual who acted like a barbaric animal.
John Wayne Gacy, Jr., also known as the Killer Clown, was an American serial killer and rapist who sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978 in Cook County, Illinois. This guy killed more people than Ted and should be number 1

Charles Milles Manson (1934-2017) was an American criminal who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in the California desert in the late 1960s. He is not a serial killer, he is a cult leader and ordered murders to be carried out. - HardRockSam
Yes, that's true. He never actually killed anyone. But, of course, he was responsible for murder. - JC_How
He is creepy
Edward Theodore Gein, also known as The Butcher of Plainfield, was an American murderer and body snatcher. He technically isn't a true serial killer. Serial killing is the span of 3 or more murders over a length on time. He has only been convicted of killing two people, though this is debatable, since he could've started the fire that killed his brother, but nobody know for sure if he did. But he is pretty far out there when it comes to terms of what he did with the corpses, turning parts of the bodies of dead women into furniture and trying to create a suit so he could be his mother, who he adored dearly. Ed Gein was also one of the first serial killers I studied, so I've always seen him as one of the most gruesome (yet interesting.) - DogmeatAndRex

As a child I feel this story has made me be aware of the dangours on the streets today, both husband and wife had no reason too kill the inocent children. Also when mr west was a child it got said that he was sexular abused by his mother and that his family agreed in insest this is just one of the reason for his killing those children. When mr west was younger he had a fall trying to esscape a fir and did some damage to his brain and he was in a coma for 8day, he then aged 19 ran over a a 4year old child with his ice cream van this all relates to why he killed them children, these couple were born evil.
