ΔΕΙΤΕ ΟΛΟΚΛΗΡΗ ΤΗΝ ΛΙΣΤΑ ΤΩΝ SERIAL KILLERS ΣΕ ΟΛΟΚΛΗΡΟ ΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟ!
ΠΟΙΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΑΣ   ΦΙΓΟΥΡΑΡΕΙ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΑΓΚΟΣΜΙΑ ΛΙΣΤΑ ΚΑΙ ΓΙΑ ΠΟΙΑ ΕΓΚΛΗΜΑΤΑ; 

 

Luis Alfredo Garavito – «Το Τέρας»
 
 
Ενδιαφερόταν κυρίως για χωρικούς και παιδιά του δρόμου. Τους παρέσυρε στην εξοχή, βίαζε, έκοβε τους λαιμούς τους, ενώ συχνά διαμέλιζε τα πτώματα. 140 θύματα επιβεβαιώθηκαν πως είχαν πέσει στα χέρια του Garavito, ο συνολικός όμως αριθμός είναι περίπου 400. Στην αρχή καταδικάστηκε για 30 χρόνια φυλάκισης, όμως επειδή συνεργάστηκε με τις Αρχές η ποινή μειώθηκε στα 22 χρόνια.
 
Pedro Alonso Lopez – «Το Τέρας των Άνδεων»
 
O Lopez έδρασε από το 1969 έως το 1980, σε Κολομβία, Ισημερινό και Περού, βιάζοντας και στραγγαλίζοντας νεαρά κορίτσια. Τα επίσημα στοιχεία μιλούν για 110 θύματα, οι εκτιμήσεις όμως κάνουν λόγο για 350. Καταδικάστηκε σε 16 χρόνια φυλάκισης και το 1998 αφέθηκε ελεύθερος. Το 2002 εκδόθηκε νέο ένταλμα σύλληψης γι' αυτόν, όμως δεν μπόρεσαν ποτέ να τον βρουν.
 
Billy Gohl
 
Ο Billy Gohl ήταν αξιωματούχος της Ένωσης Ναυτικών στην Washington το 1902 και η δουλειά του ήταν να καλωσορίζει ναύτες στο λιμάνι. Πολλοί από αυτούς βρέθηκαν νεκροί (140 στον αριθμό), όμως ο Gohl θα παραδεχτεί πως σκότωσε μόνο 2 εξ αυτών. Ο παρανοϊκός δολοφόνος θα πεθάνει το 1927 σε άσυλο για ψυχοπαθείς εγκληματίες…
 
Serhiy Tkach – «Ο Μανιακός του Pologovsky»
 
Έδρασε από το 1984 ως το 2005. Ο αστυνομικός Serhiy Tkach στραγγάλιζε νεαρά κορίτσια ηλικίας 8-18 ετών και κατόπιν ασελγούσε στα πτώματά τους.
 
Pedro Rodrigues Filho
 
Έδρασε από το 1967 ως το 2003. Στα 14 του χρόνια σκότωσε με το μαχαίρι της κουζίνας δύο άτομα, στα 18 του σκότωσε τον πατέρα του και έφαγε κομμάτι της καρδιάς του. Σκότωσε πάνω από 75 ανθρώπους με το μαχαίρι και σήμερα εκτίει ποινή φυλάκισης 30 ετών, τη μεγαλύτερη που προβλέπει το ποινικό σύστημα της Βραζιλίας…
 
Gary Ridgway
 
O σεξομανής Ridgway από την Washington στραγγάλιζε πόρνες και τις πετούσε στο ποτάμι. Ο δολοφόνος θα παραδεχτεί αργότερα ότι έκανε σεξ με τα πτώματα των ιερόδουλων, ενώ θα ομολογήσει τη δολοφονία 72 γυναικών, με τον αριθμό να εκτιμάται όμως σε περισσότερες από 90.
 
Albert Fish – «Ο Βρικόλακας του Μπρούκλιν», «Ο Μπαμπούλας», «Ο Λυκάνθρωπος»
 
Ο Fish εκτελούσε τα θύματά του κι έπειτα έστελνε γράμματα στους συγγενείς των θυμάτων περιγράφοντας πώς σκότωσε και μαγείρεψε τα παιδιά τους. Εκτελέστηκε στην ηλεκτρική καρέκλα το 1936. Ο Albert Fish έγραψε στους γονείς της 10χρονης Grace Budd: «Την έπνιξα μέχρι θανάτου και κατόπιν την έκοψα σε μικρά κομμάτια, για να μπορώ να μεταφέρω το κρέας στα υπόλοιπα δωμάτια. Τη μαγείρεψα και την έφαγα. Πόσο γλυκός και τρυφερός ήταν ο μικρός της πισινός καθώς ψηνόταν στον φούρνο! Μου πήρε 9 μέρες να φάω όλο της το σώμα. Δεν έκανα σεξ μαζί της, παρά το γεγονός ότι το ήθελα. Πέθανε παρθένα».
