The other day I was watching a biography on Alexander Pichushkin, better known at The Chessboard Killer. I don’t believe I’ve done a post on him and thought it was about time I did! Alexander Pichushkin was born on April 9, 1974 in Moscow. That’s right, we’re talking about a Russian serial killer. He committed [...]

I’ll make posts like these every now and then based on kill counts. Just like with the “By State” posts, I’m going to try and list those that aren’t every day names. David J. Carpenter: In 1961, at age thirty-three, David started demonstrating his psychotic tendencies when he attacked a woman with a hammer. In [...]

Lucian Staniak was called by some the Polish Jack The Ripper. His sadistic sex crimes would cover a three year span and would coincide with public celebrations. On the eve of a national holiday, a letter was sent to a Warsaw newspaper. The note read “There is no happiness without tears, no life without death.” [...]

The US wasn’t the only country to produce serial killer’s in the 1950′s. In England the 50′s started with one of the most notorious sex-murder cases of modern times. The story came to light when in March of 1953. The new owners of 10 Rillington Place began to remodel their kitchen. They started peeling away [...]

This case is interesting for many reasons. First of course is the fact that one of the first victims was Karla’s younger sister and that it’s a husband/wife team. Then came the trial and the media publication ban. Although it was originally said that the ban on publication of details of the case was to [...]
