What Serial Killer Case Do You Find the Most Intriguing???

Question

I'd say Jack the Ripper. That's just me.

Answer 1

I agree with your opinion...is gotta be Jack the Ripper...
But I was also very intrigued by the story of those two american snipers who were randomly shooting people down (I think they killed 10 before getting caught)...

Answer 2

The Moors murderers. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
Why? Because I cannot understand how she could help him to murder young children.
It is beyond my comprehension that a woman would go along with his sick fantasies.

She wouldnt help the mother of Keith Bennett, by telling where on the moors they put him body.
Yet all these years she had people saying what a changed woman she was, and should have been released from prison.
How did she manage to con and manipulate so many people.
I lived in Manchester at the time of the murders, and I can clearly remember the sense of shock and horror that everyone felt when the stories of the murders and the trial of these two monsters were on TV and in the newspapers.
He was obviously sick in the head, but what turned her into what she became. No normal woman would become a serial killer just because her boyfriend said she had to.
I find it intriguing, because I have never been able to understand why.

Answer 3

Jack the Ripper is certainly interesting, but MOST intriguing without question would be the Zodiac Killer of the late 1960s/early 1970s.

I'd say Zodiac is more intriguing than the Ripper simply because he had no apparent M.O. unlike Jack the Ripper who only killed prostitutes.

Also, Zodiac only killed in 1968-69 .... yet he spent the next 20 years taunting the police and continuing to send threatening letters, many of them written in a strange cipher code. Even experts couldn't crack solve most of them.

Answer 4

Yeah Jack the Ripper! Scary as hell I think, but still very intriguing as there are so many things that are a mystery about the case still. Also the London Hammer murders which weren't so long ago, that was really brutal and sad, and nobodys been caught which is alarming x

Answer 5

Yes I agree with you and some of the others, Jack th Ripper is most definitely very interesting.

Answer 8

Jack the Ripper because they never caught him and is still a mystery . Bet they would get him nowadays with DNA and stuff.

Answer 9

I've read quite a few accounts of serial killers, the most intriguing for me were the West's and Jeffry Dahmer, reading those books made me gasp in horror.

Answer 10

Maybe charles manson, that kind of charisma and control is interesting, theres lots of intriguing cases what makes them do what they do? lots of cases with sociopathic serial killers are interesting, the manipulative side of these people is scary.
Also Ed gein the person behind texas chainsaw (although apparently never used a chainsaw!!) and silence of the lambs the things he did were horrendous.
