The Story of Serial Killers
The history of mankind has witnessed cold-blooded crimes which turned the world upside down and drove it down to the world of insanity. Many of these crimes inspired Hollywood to recreate their stories in movies. While one watches these movies, one can barely think someone would commit such atrocities. Whether it is a brain-sickness or something else the people committing these crimes do not hesitate to keep doing these crimes. Here is a list of some of the serial killers that changed history forever.

Reason First: The Selfless Slayer-The Co-ed Killer
Incarcerated instructor to the blind, with an IQ of 145 (for whatever that's worth), convicted serial killer Edmund Kemper is an ideal inmate in the California Medical Center. We know his conviction for the murder of ten human beings led to his incarceration, and his preference for killing, mutilating, and engaging in post-mortem taboo sex acts with young girls and college women, led to his new name: “The Co-ed Killer." But what turned him into the kind of person who could do such horrible things?

A Fraudster, A Torturer, A 'Gaslighter' And A Murderer - This 'Friend' Was Not Who He Seemed
A younger person getting together with an older (and often, more affluent) person and wanting to get their hands on the older person's money is nothing new. We have terms for it, like 'gold-digger'. What makes this story rather more unusual is the sheer, contemptuous and unalloyed greed, coupled to the heartless contempt. It seems that Field's victims meant nothing to him at all.

Reason First: When Compassion is Omitted- The Boston Strangler Case
Mystery once abounded in the case of the “Boston Strangler” during the early 1960’s. Around the time of the crimes, authorities lacked any physical evidence linking the crime to Albert DeSalvo, the killer they ultimately convicted. He didn’t even fit the name. Monikers like “The Green Man” and “The Measuring Man” applied to him. So, there was still a cloud of uncertainty hanging over a case involving the deaths of thirteen women. Imagine the terror these women faced right before DeSalvo snuffed out their lives. DeSalvo’s level of irrationality must have been high. To not think about anything beyond extinguishing the very lives he held in his hands, made him an animal.

One of the most intriguing cases I've covered is that of Teka Adams, a survivor of an attempted fetal abduction. Teka Adams was coaxed into an apartment under the false pretense of being able to pick out baby items for her unborn child.

“Eccentric” Professor Mummified 26 Dead Girls and Turned Them Into Dolls
Anatoly Moskvin’s obsession with death led him to bring the dead home with him. Yet, no one knew for years, not even his parents. His story and crimes beg the question: where is the line between “genius” and just plain “madness?”

The ‘Lone Actor’ Terrorism Attacks No One Can Prevent
On a warm and pleasant evening in June 2020, dozens of people were relaxing in Forbury Gardens, a park in Reading, England. People were sitting on the grass, in small groups of friends. Some were drinking a beer or a glass of wine: Some were having a picnic. England was gradually coming out of Covid-19 lockdown, and people were enjoying their renewed freedom. There had been a ‘Black Lives Matter’ event in the park earlier that day, and some people in the park had been in attendance.
