Top 5 Creepiest & Mysterious Serial Killers

Hey there, DETECTIVES! It’s me, DETECTIVE WRITER here. This week, we are going to talk about a brand new topic: the most petrifying and unreal serial killers both known and unknown. That’s right, we’re going do a short history lesson but don’t you worry, it’s fun and sweet well for me at least! But all jokes aside, let’s get started…

1. Ted Bundy (1946 – 1989)

Now, I know we have all heard of him thanks to childhood crush and High School Musical star, Zac Efron and a few articles of him popping up and about, but Mr. Ted Bundy was one charming man who led dozens of innocent women and young ladies to their horrific deaths during the 1970s. Investigators have speculated that Bundy’s killing spree may have started much earlier than the 70s as several bodies were found murdered in similar manners as Bundy’s victims. For some particular reason, Bundy kept some of his victim’s severed heads as mementos as though he wasn’t terrifyingly strange enough. 

2. Jack the Ripper (Unknown)

I know we have all heard of this strange individual once or twice before but the fact that no one has no idea just who he or she is, makes them even more strange. Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer who is believed to have committed over five gruesome murders between the late 1880s through the early 1890s. There have been a few assumptions over who the killer could have been or if there was more than one but unfortunately, there is no actual way of knowing.

3. The Zodiac Killer (Unknown)

An unknown serial killer who targeted couples, only two men have survived. He or she is believed to have committed a murder spree through 1960s through 1970s but tragically, similar to Jack the Ripper, no one has no way of knowing who the perpetrator actually is because he or she made sure of that.

4. Pedro Lopez (1948 – ?)

No, DETECTIVES, not the baseball player- the serial killer. This individual is from Columbia and has reported to have committed over 300 murders of young women and sexually assaulted over 100 young girls. I would truly love to say this individual is behind bars but sadly, he was released in 1998 due to “Good behavior” and in 2002, he was reported to have murdered someone else but no one knows where he is to this day.

5. Jeffrey Dahmer (1960 – 1994)

This individual had murdered more than 17 young men and boys, perhaps over some kind of fetish and even kept photos of some of his victims mutilated bodies. In order to hide the corpses, he kept a vat of acid. He was killed in 1994 by one of his fellow intimates, Christopher Scarver.

I know, these people are scary but don’t worry, DETECTIVES, the longer we continue to solve crimes, the more we can help make the world a much better world through positivity and faith. Just one day at a time.

Until then, keep on sleuthing, DETECTIVES!
