True Crime Addict? I Got You!
Being a victim of child abuse, especially sexual, leaves it’s permanent mark on a victim. It either makes us despise child abusers, or it turns it’s victims into abusers themselves. Westley Allan Dodd had been sexually abused as a young boy, and by the time he was 13 he was assaulting easily accessible younger children such as his own cousins. Eventually this wasn’t good enough, and Westley began to kill…

Whether she’d been taken to his house or not, in the end these women (or the known victims at least) wound up in the Alaskan wilderness. The avid hunter would strip his victim naked (often in subzero temperatures) and simply set her free. She would, of course, run like hell for her life, but the killer would track her down. Robert thoroughly enjoyed hunting humans; these ladies were savagely murdered with his favorite weapons: a Ruger Mini-14 and a hunting knife.
On April 17, 1996. James went to the police station and calmly explained that his girlfriend his accidentally drowned in the bath; he claiming that she had inhaled bathwater and died even though he’d tried his best to save her. Upon entreating the residence it was immediately realized that this was no accidental death, she’d been tortured for several weeks before she died…
Tommy Lynn Sells was one of America’s worst serial killers. He killed men, women, little boys and girls alike; he often gained entrance to a victim’s home through a window. He seemed to enjoy murdering mothers and their children, but he had no scruples against ended complete families. Some of these victims were sex workers, others were killed during drug deals gone wrong; a few were trying to help him, one was a mom who pissed him off in passing so he followed her home to exact his revenge. Tommy has 22 confirmed kills, though it’s believed his true body count is higher than seventy. He was a drifter who usually left town before his victim was ever discovered, so he got away with killing for decades. I can’t detail every known murder here but I’ll tell you about some of his worst and a bit of this serial killer’s childhood…
There is an ongoing debate as to whether Richard Kuklinski was a serial killer or a hitman – it’s usually agreed upon by professionals that an individual can not be both…
John George Haigh was a very charming and well educated Englishman, a crook, a con man, and from 1944 – 1949 he tried his hand at serial killing. We know for a fact that this man killed 6, though he confessed to having murdered 3 more than that. Not a super high body count, but he is an interesting one!
This little boy is the world’s youngest known serial killer. Amardeep Sada was just 7 years old when he began taking lives, and 8 years of age upon capture. Amardeep’s victims were all very young; the boy strangled his own 8 month old baby sister to death during play time, and a few months later he did the same to his 6 month old cousin. He was only stopped after his third kill, a baby which was of no blood relation…
Since we recently spoke of King Henry VIII and that was well received (I will link that post at the bottom of this one in case you missed it, as that really should be read first) I thought we could speak of his daughters. Today we will focus on Mary, the only surviving child of Henry and his first wife, the Spanish Princess Catherine of Aragon. Now, y’all know I love history but only if it’s extra brutal and gory; they did not dub the future Queen “Bloody Mary” for nothing – she truly earned that title!
If you look at pictures of school or spree shooters, you’ll notice many have something in common. They often have wild eyes and similar hair cuts. These things are not a prerequisite but they’re common enough…
