entering, he confessed to also being the Boston strangler, and murdering 13 women.

His wife took his two children to her homeland of Germany at the urging of his lawyer. He was never tried as the Boston strangler, but

was given sentences for his rape and burglary charges that would ensure he spent the rest of

his life in custody. Six years into those sentences he was stabbed while in the

infirmary and found dead the next morning.

OutcomeOutcomeOne of his victims escaped and a neighbor called the police, who believed Dahmers’ story of the boy being his lover and released the boy to Dahmers’ custody and his death. A final victim was lucky enough to escape and this time the police took notice. He

admitted to the murders and detailed his brutality. He plead guilty and insane but the jury found him guilty and sane, while he was in prison one inmate tried to

slash Dahmers’ throat unsuccessfully, the next attack (with an iron bar) was successful in smashing

Dahmers’ scull and killing him.

Personality # 1, Ted BundyPersonality # 1, Ted Bundy

Born 1946, executed 1989, aged 43

Loving (church going) family

Married (in jail)

College graduate, law student, politically ambitious, rape counselor.

Respected and admired by (most) who met him.

Popular with women, generally considered to be a nice guy.

Served on crime prevention committees

Performed community service regularly

Personality # 2, Lady KillerPersonality # 2, Lady KillerChose victims who looked like

his ex girlfriend.

Crimes spanned four states

Escaped from jail to resume his killing spree

Protested his innocence until he was sentenced to death, when he showed remorse.

OutcomeOutcomeBundy managed to escape detection by pure fluke several times before finally being caught for attempted kidnapping.

His previous flukes were due to his reputation as an upstanding citizen, and his charm. After he was imprisoned

for kidnapping, while awaiting extradition to face other charges he escaped and went on a further killing spree. This time he was seen trying to abduct a school girl, a few days later he

was arrested again and sentenced to death. Hours before his execution he gave an interview, where he accepted

responsibility for his crimes and wished to inform the public of the encouragement he had from pornographic material, saying it was an addiction that he constantly needed harder and more

until he finally acted his fantasies out.

In Summary…In Summary…This lecture has shown that no one is safe from serial killers,

however, thankfully they are rare.

They target either young or old, or both.

They target men, women, boys and girls.

They do not have any identifying features.

They do not look like they are serial killers.

Quite often they are respected members of the community.

In the words of Ted Bundy: we are your husbands, your fathers, your sons, your mothers, your daughters.

The truth is that we only know people as well as they want us to know them.
