There is a mix of both repulsion and fascination when it comes to serial killers, their lives and what triggers their insatiable thirst for killing but under no circumstances should a person take another person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
1. David Berkowitz<\/h2>\n
David Berkowitz can also be referred to as the .44 Caliber Killer or the Son of Sam and he carried out a bunch of shootings during the 1976\u2019s summer. His nickname came from the use of a .44 caliber revolver to conduct the shootings. Berkowitz killed a total of 6 people and wounded 7 more. What made him even scarier was the fact that he used to send letters to both the police and press threatening everyone with further attacks and terrorizing the inhabitants of New York City. However, Berkowitz was caught in 1977 and found guilty for all murders.<\/p>\n Bianchi and Buono were also knows as the Hillside Strangles after their MO. Between 1977 and 1978, these two serial killers kidnapped and murdered over 10 girls and women, aged between 12 and 28 years old, in California. After they kidnapped their victim, they would have driven all the way to the hills above Los Angeles and strangled her. After they were caught, Bianchi attempted to get away by pleading not guilty on the count of insanity but the court found out he was faking mental illness. Both Bianchi and Buono were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n Dennis Rader or the BTK Killer murdered 10 people between 1974 and 1991, in Wichita, Kansas. Rader used to send letters to the police under the pseudonym BTK which stand for bind, torture, kill. Rader used to follow and watch his victims after eventually breaking into their homes, binding their limbs and strangling them. Rader was eventually caught after sending a floppy disk to the police in 2005 and being traced via the disk. The BTK killer is serving 10 consecutive lifetime sentences and it is scary that someone who murdered so many people almost got away with it.<\/p>\n Arthur Shawcross or the Genesse River Killer first killed a 10-year-old boy and then an 8-year-old girl in 1972. He was caught after the killing of the girl, he plead guilty and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. He was released in 1988 and started killing again. Shawcross killed a total of 12 female prostitutes after spending 14 years in prison. The women were aged between 22 and 59 years old. Similar to the way he was caught the first time, Shawcross was eventually caught on the scene of his last murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n Ricardo Leyva Munoz Ramirez or the Night Stalker Ramirez was an American killer who terrorized the inhabitants of Los Angeles between 1984 and 1985. He used to break in the apartments of his victims and draw pentagrams as a way to express his worship for Satan after shooting, mutilating, rapping and stabbing his victims. Ramirez was found guilty and sentenced to death but remained on California\u2019s death row for over 23 years before eventually dying in his cell in 2013.<\/p>\n Jeffrey Dahmer or the Milwaukee Cannibal was a serial killer, sex offender and cannibal who operated between 1978 and 1991. He murdered and dismembered a total of 17 boys and men and he even committed necrophilia with some of his late victims, eating parts of their bodies. It would have probably taken longer for Dahmer to be caught if it weren\u2019t for one of his victims who managed to overpower him and alert the police. Dahmer was sentenced to 15 life terms in prison but was beaten to death two years after he was eventually caught, by a fellow inmate.<\/p>\n![\"american](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/berkowitz_arrest201.jpg\")
