Forgot about Daumer. I lived in Chicago during his killings. John Wayne Gacy was arrested shortly before I moved there.

Not now, but I did about two decades ago. Lived in the same area where most of the crimes were committed, travelled the same routes the killers took to where their victims were hidden, even attended a part at a house next to where the bodies were later stored. Snowtown? (actually, I read people from Snowtown get annoyed about the murders associated with it, as its only connection to the killings was maybe 1 victim came from the town; the murders occurred elsewhere.) It has stronger ties than that. The bodies were stored in an old bank vault on the main street there. And it's possible that at least one person was actually killed inside the bank too. However, it all happened quite a while ago, so I'm sure there are multiple versions of what happened now available for public consumption.

I remember the snipers but as a rule most serial killers are white males and black people tend not to be serial killers so you're probably safe. I thought members of street gangs were basically serial killers that hunted in groups. Their behavior definitely fits the profile of serial killers. Even better stories to tell!

Dude, I think that Jack the Ripper can easily be qualified as the first serial killer. I'm more interested in the idea that the serial killer has become almost a meme in our culture. But there were probably such psychos going back to medieval and ancient times. Or were there? Is this some new phenomena or do we only know about it now because of media? The Wikipedia article supports that theory but at the same time claims that Jack The Ripper was not the first serial killer. Here is a list of earlier serial killers.

Bram Stoker's house is less than 10 minutes down the road from where I live and there's an area of land 5 minutes from here that was used as an unconsecrated graveyard for murderers and people who committed suicide long ago. Apparently, the tradition was to bury the bodies staked down lest their souls went wandering.
Oh, and in my own lifetime there was a vicious murder carried out by two sisters in the nearby council estate. The press dubbed them the "Scissor Sisters" at the time.
