Which Famous Serial Killer Do You Think Like?

When Gaskins was just a year old, he drank a bottle of kerosene, which caused him to have convulsions until he was three years old. Later in his life, he killed people for a variety of reasons: because they had mocked him, attempted to blackmail him, owed him money, had stolen from him, or because he had been paid to kill them. Scary!!

Ted Bundy assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s and possibly earlier. Bundy was regarded as handsome and charismatic by his young female victims, traits he exploited to win their trust. He typically approached them in public places, feigning injury or disability, or impersonating an authority figure, before overpowering and assaulting them at more secluded locations. On a few occasions he simply broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept.

John George Haigh was known as the "Acid Bath Murderer". He was convicted of the murders of six people, although he claimed to have killed nine. He used acid not to kill his victims but in what he believed to be a foolproof method of body disposal: he would dissolve their bodies in concentrated sulphuric acid before forging papers to be able to sell their possessions and collect substantial sums of money. OMG!!

Peter William Sutcliffe was dubbed "The Yorkshire Ripper" by the press. In 1981 Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder seven others. He had regularly used prostitutes in Leeds and Bradford. His outbreak of violence towards them seems to have occurred because he was swindled out of money by a prostitute and her pimp, but he later claimed to have been sent on a mission to kill prostitutes by the voice of God. WOW!!

Dr. Harold Fredrick Shipman was one of the world’s most prolific serial killers in recorded history, proven to have been responsible for up 250 murders. A trusted doctor, he was well respected in his community, however colleagues and local undertakers began raising concerns over the high death rate in the area and the large number of cremation forms for elderly women that he had countersigned. Several bodies were later exhumed and post mortems revealed the same drug within their system. It was later established that he had deliberately injected the drug in an enormous number of patients, causing their death. He then forged their wills so he could inherit large sums of money and completed cremation requests to destroy the victim’s bodies.
