Names identify us as the people who were are... and although some of the world's most infamous serial killers are known by their nicknames (Yorkshire Ripper, BTK Killer, Dr Death or the Milwaukee Cannibal); some use an alias to escape capture, kept their names as on their birth certificate, or they changed their name for reasons which gives us an interesting insight into their private life and personal demons.
As always, this is not a comprehensive or exhaustive list, and is updated as and when new information comes to light, therefore if any names are missing or are incorrect, don't get "stressy", share your wondrous knowledge with the rest of us. Enjoy the blog. Mx

As part of my deeper look into the psyche of serial killers, I shall be delving into whether there are any common links between some of the world's most infamous serial killers, in terms of when their "career as a killer" began and how long it lasted. As with every question I start with no evidence, theories or opinion, this is simply a compilation of hard data to determine whether there are any common threads or interesting nuggets. Common threads like: what age do serial killers begin killing (is it part of a teenage angst, midlife crisis, end-of-life burst, or is there no average age)? How long their career span lasts? Across what age-range? If there are any similarities at all.
Serial Killers - Career Span by Dates & Age
What follows is an alphabetic list of 54 of the UK & USA's most infamous serial killers, the dates (if known) of their first and final killings and the killer's age when these crime were committed.
** including suspected murders or theya re still under investigation for further murders
What age is a serial killer most likely to start killing? Statistically in their twenties, with that figure tailing off the older they become, but there are an unusually high proportion of serial killers (including Gacy, Shipman, Sutcliffe, Dahmer and Bundy) who all began their "killing" careers as their 20th and 30th birthday loomed nearer or passed by.
What is the average span of a serial killer's "career"? This is the hardest question to answer as serial killers tend not to quit, they usually only stop when they are caught. The FBI states that the average male serial killer has a "career" span of 2-3 years, with female serial killers lasting almost 11 years. Often females are rarely caught as (1) they don't hang around after the murder, (2) they tend not to take souveniers, and (3) they usually kill by poisoning, which means they don't have to be in the same room, street or country as their victim.
That said, often females are not included in lists of serial killers as they tend to kill many victims in a very short period of time, which categorises them as a "spree-killer". Therefore, what follows is the same 54 serial killers with their "career span" listed shortest to longest.
** including suspected murders or they are still under investigation for further murders (est) indicates that exact dates cannot be accurately stated

Dr H Crippen on trial for the "murder" of his wife
As complicated and precise as it may seem, the British legal system isn't infallible. So when the accused is found guilty by a jury of their peers, it is widely believed that the right man was caught, the sentence was just, and that the evidence was conclusive. But having been the foreman of a jury myself, the jury can only base their decision on the evidence presented before them; some of which may be sketchy, misleading, biased and often outright lies. Therefore - sometimes - those who the court convicts and sentences to death, may actually be entirely innocent.
In this two-part blog, I shall be delving into many of the UK and the USA's most infamous miscarriages of justice, which have changed legal history forever... and (hopefully) for the better.
Timothy Evans – INNOCENT & EXECUTED - On 30th November 1949, Timothy John Evans walked into a Merthyr Tydfil police station and admitted to the unlawful death of his wife Beryl, following a botched abortion, but upon the discovery of his wife’s strangled corpse and that of his infant daughter Geraldine, Evans was charged with double murder. Being barely literate, a known fantasist and easily led, Evans’ trial lasted just three days with much of the evidence not shown to the jury and after just 40 minutes of deliberation, Evans was found guilty. He was executed by hanging at Pentonville Prison.
Three years later, Evan’s co-lodger and the ex-Policeman whose own witness testimony had helped convict and execute Timothy Evans was arrested for the murder of six women (including his own wife and Beryl) in the same house at 10 Rillington Place; his name… was John Reginald Christie. Following an official inquiry in 1968, 18 years after Evan’s death, Evan’s was found innocent and was granted a posthumous pardon, which helped bring about the abolition of capital punishment in the UK in 1965. Read more.
Derek Bentley - INNOCENT & EXECUTED - On 2nd November 1952, 19 year old Derek Bentley and 16 year old Christopher Craig broke into a Croydon-based sweet factory – Barlow & Parker – Bentley was armed with a knuckle-duster and a knife, Craig with .455 Webley service revolver. When confronted by the Police, Bentley who had already been restrained by Police and who wanted Craig to drop his weapon, allegedly exclaimed “let him have it, Chris”. Confusion remains to this day over whether Bentley meant “let him have it (the gun)” or “let him have it (shoot him)”, but Craig opened fire and shot Police Constable Sidney Miles in the head.
As Craig was under 18 he could not be executed, and – although Bentley hadn’t fired the deadly shot itself and both of the weapons he had (the knife and the knuckle-duster) were still in his pockets – Bentley was charged under the “joint enterprise” law, with Lord Chief Justice Goddard describing his actions as "mentally aiding the murder of Police Constable Sidney Miles". On 28th January 1953 at 9am, Derek Bentley was hanged at Wandsworth Prison. Craig served ten years for murder, was released in May 1963 and later became a plumber. In 1998, the Court of Appeal quashed Bentley's conviction for murder and he was given a posthumous pardon. Medical records show that Derek Bentley had an IQ of just 66 (the average is 98).
Stephen Downing – INNOCENT & OVERTURNED - On 12th September 1973, 32 year old legal secretary Wendy Sewell was beaten about the head with a pick-axe handle in a Bakewell cemetery, and died of her injuries two days later. Police arrested 17 year old gardener Stephen Downing owing to bloodstains on his clothes having found her body in the cemetery where he worked. Despite having a learning difficulties, Downing (who had the mental age of an 11 year old) was arrested and questioned for nine hours, without a solicitor present and forced to sign a confession. Downing was found guilty of murder and detained at Her Majesty’s Pleasure, and – because he’d pleaded “not guilty” – he was not eligible for parole.
Following a review by the Criminal Cases Review Commission in 1997, where it was proven that Downing’s confession was inadmissible as evidence and that key witnesses had lied, Downing was released in 2001 (after 27 years in prison) and his conviction quashed in 2002, making this one of the longest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. In January 2014, a pathology report which had gone “missing” in 1973, proved Downing’s innocence. .
The Birmingham Six - INNOCENT & CONVICTED - On 21st November 1974, two bombs exploded in two central Birmingham pubs – The Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town – killing 21 people and injuring 182. Believing they were planted by the Provisional IRA, Police arrested six Belfast men - Hugh Callaghan, Patrick Joseph Hill, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker - who lived in Birmingham and shortly before the explosions had boarded a train to Northern Ireland to attend the funeral of James McDade (a friend and IRA member who’d killed himself planting a bomb in Coventry).
Once arrested, the six men were tested for explosives, interrogated for up to 12 hours, denied food, sleep, repeatedly assaulted and even subjected to a mock execution by the Birmingham Criminal Investigation department. Although forensic tests found traces of explosives on two of the men, the jury found the six guilty and they were each sentenced to 21 life sentences. On 14th March 1991, the Court of Appeal quashed their convictions having discovered that the Police had suppressed and fabricated evidence (including the explosive tests), all six were freed and awarded compensation between £840k to £1.2million. Superintendent George Reade and two other officers were charged with perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice… but were never prosecuted. Watch a World in Action Special on the Birmingham Six here.
The Guildford Four - INNOCENT & CONVICTED - On 5th October 1974, the IRA detonated 6lb gelignite bombs in two Guildford pubs – The Horse & Groom and The Seven Stars – all of which were full of British military personnel. Three Northern Irish men and one English woman were arrested - Paul Michael Hill, Gerard Conlon, Patrick Armstrong and Carole Richardson – even though they didn’t match the profile of IRA terrorists; they lived in a squat, shoplifted, took drugs and even slept rough in the city’s parks.
But during lengthy interrogations, which included torture, threats and drug withdrawal, all four confessed to the bombings (statements which they later retracted citing coercion), they were found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Following a re-investigation of the case by Avon & Somerset Police in 1989, they found the confessions inadmissible, that interview notes had been heavily edited and rewritten, and that the bombings were likely to be the work of the Balcombe Street Siege gang (known IRA terrorists), who later claimed responsibility. The convictions of the Guildford Four were quashed in 1989 and 1991 having spent 15-16 years in prison. Three Police officers - Thomas Style, John Donaldson and Vernon Attwell - were charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice… but were found not guilty. Read more.
The Bridgewater Four - INNOCENT & CONVICTED - On 19th September 1978, 13 year old schoolboy Carl Bridgewater was shot in the head with a shotgun at close range as he delivered a newspaper to Yew Tree Farm (Stourbridge). Believing that Carl must have disturbed a burglary, Police arrested four known armed robbers - Patrick Molloy, James Robinson, Michael Hickey and Vincent Hickey – having coerced Molloy (an alcoholic burglar) into admitting to being in the house and hearing the gunshot. Although all four denied the charges, they were found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 25 years served. Patrick Molloy died in 1981 in prison.
On 21st February 1997, the Court of Appeals found that Police had fabricated evidence, coerced Molloy into making a false confession and the remaining three men were exonerated. Today, the murder of Carl Bridgewater remains unsolved. Prime suspect was convicted murderer Hubert Spencer, who drove a blue Vauxhall Viva (seen at Yew Tree farm that afternoon), owned a shotgun and regularly fired it at the farm, but was eliminated as a suspect after the arrest of the Bridgewater Four. A few weeks after Carl's murder, “Bert” Spencer shot 70 year old Hubert Wilkes at Holloway Farm (next door the Yew Tree Farm), using a shotgun, to the head, as Wilkes was forced to sit on a sofa – identical to the killing of Carl Bridgewater. Watch a documentary here.
Stefan Kiszko - INNOCENT & CONVICTED - On 5th October 1975, 11 year old Lesley Molseed was raped and murdered on Rishworth Moor (West Yorkshire), numerous stab wounds had pieced her heart, her body had been posed and the killer had ejaculated onto her knickers. Police arrested 23 year old Stefan Kiszko after four teenage girls - Maxine Buckley, Catherine Burke, Debbie Brown and Pamela Hind – stated that Kiszko had exposed himself to them the day before the murder, as well as believing he fitted the profile and finding pornographic magazines and a “bag of sweets” in his car. He was the Police’s only suspect. After three days of interrogation and coercion by West Yorkshire Police, where he was denied a solicitor, he was tried and given a life sentence.
Following a 1991 re-investigation of the case, it was proven that Kiszko was innocent; he suffered from hypogonadism, that meant he was infertile which contradicted the forensic evidence and that the four teenage girls who’d accused him of “exposing himself” to them, had lied because they thought it would be “a laugh” and “it was funny”. In prison, Kiszko was repeatedly beaten by fellow prisoners and developed schizophrenia. Upon his release in 1992, he became a recluse, needing psychiatric care and died of a heart attack on 23rd December 1993. Detective Superintendent Dick Holland (in charge of the original investigation) and the forensic scientist were charged with perverting the course of justice… but were cleared of any wrongdoing.
On 5th November 2006, DNA evidence led to the arrest of Ronald Castree of Oldham, whose semen matched that which was found of Lesley Molseed’s underwear, he was found guilty and jailed for life. When Police looked into his history, it appears that in 1976, just months after Lesley Molseed’s murder, Castree was convicted of the indecent assault of a 9 year old girl in Rochdale, for which he was fined just £25 (£162 today). Watch a documentary here.
Other cases of the innocent convicted (and executed) of murder include:
Dr H H Crippen - INNOCENT & EXECUTED: On 23rd November 1910, Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged for the murder of his wife Cora, when - after her unexplained disappearance on 31st January 1910 - Dr Crippen's lover Ethel "Le Neve" Neave moved into his home at Hilldrop Crescent, and started wearing his wife's clothes and jewellery. Although Dr Crippen had claimed that Cora had died, he later retracted this statement when questioned by the Police stating that she'd left him to live with her lover - Bruce Miller - and that Crippen was just too ashamed to admit it. The following day Crippen and Neave panicked and fled to Canada on the SS Montrose but were intercepted by Police, owing to a marvellous new invention called the telegram.
Having already searched Crippen's home three times, on the fourth search Police discovered the skin of a human torso (but no head, limbs or skeleton) underneath the brickwork in his hall. Upon examination, Home Office Pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury found a small appendix scar on the skin which was consistent with his wife's medical history and based on this evidence Dr Crippen was hanged for the murder of his wife Cora.
In October 2007, David Foran a forensic researcher at Michigan State University analysed the scar tissue and compared the DNA with those of three members of Cora's immediate family, and proved that the DNA was not that of Cora Crippen, in fact the body found under the hall, wasn't a woman at all... it was a man. Dr H H Crippen was hanged solely on the evidence by Home Office Pathologist Sir Bernard Spilbury, who's conduct and evidence on numerous cases has since come into question, with many believing that Spilsbury fabricated evidence in order to make a name for himself, during an era when forensic science was still in its infancy, and was seen by the law as "new fangled" and "unreliable".

John Wayne Gacy "The Killer Clown" - DEAD - Between 1972-78, Gacy - a married man who hid his homosexuality after an abusive childhood with an alcoholic father - raped, tortured and murdered 33 teenage boys and men, hiding 26 of his victims bodies under his house's crawlspace until the smell of decomposing flesh became so unbearable it was impossible to hide. Having spent 14 years on Death Row at Menard Correctional Centre in Chester (Illinois), on the 9th May 1994 Gacy had his final meal - KFC, shrimp, fries, strawberries and a Diet Coke - and was executed by lethal injection. The procedure took 18 minutes. With no remorse for his victims, Gacy's final words were simply "Kiss my ass". After death, Gacy's brain was removed and is held in possession by Dr. Helen Morrison, a defence witness at Gacy's trial who was conducting a study into possibly brain abnormalities in psychopaths. Gacy's brain showed no abnormalities. Albert DeSalvo "The Boston Strangler" - DEAD - Between 1962-64 in Boston, thirteen women were raped and murdered by an unknown assailant, also dubbed "Measuring Man" who'd con his way into their homes. Although DeSalvo was never imprisoned for these murder (instead he was arrested for a spate of similar sex attacks), he repeatedly confessed and retracted his confession. On 25th November at Walpole Maximum Security Prison, fellow inmate Robert Wilson stabbed DeSalvo to death for selling amphetamines at a price deemed too low for the prison's crime syndicate. In July 2013, DNA found in seminal fluid recovered from the murder scene of Mary Sullivan proved a positive match to the DNA recovered from the exhumed corpse of Albert DeSalvo. Edmund Kemper "The Co-Ed Butcher" - ALIVE - Having murdered his own grandparents aged 15, Kemper was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and committed to Atascadero State Hospital. Six years later, having convinced psychiatrists he was "sane", Kemper was released and went on a killing-spree; abducting, decapitating, defiling and cannibalising the corpses of various young women (including his mother), before turning himself in. At his trial in 1973, he was found to be "sane" and although he requested the death penalty for his crimes, the state of California had temporarily suspended capital punishment, so Kemper received eight life sentences served at the California Medical Facility. Kemper is considered a "model prisoner", who is responsible for scheduling prisoner's psychiatric appointments as well as being a skilled potter. Although eligible, he was denied parole in 2007 and 2012. His next parole hearing in this year (2017). Joel Rifkin "Joel the Ripper" - ALIVE - Convicted of murdering 9 prostitutes between 1989-93 in New York City & Long Island, Rifkin was arrested on 28th June 1993 following a high-speed pursuit when officers spotted him driving without licence plates. The chase ended when he crashed into a lamp-post, outside of the courthouse where his trial would ultimately take place. As New York doesn't have the Death Penalty, Rifkin was sent to Attica Prison where - following a spat with murderer Colin Ferguson over who had the most victims - Rifkin spent the next four years in solitary confinement. In 2000, the state rejected Rifkin's lawsuit which claimed that being in solitary for 1540 days was unconstitutional, a lawsuit which - had he won - would have netted him $77 million. Rifkin was sentenced to a total of 203 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole on 26th February 2197. And before you ask? No, that number is not a typo. Richard Ramirez "The Night Stalker" - DEAD - Between June 1984 and August 1985, Ramirez, a devout satanist terrorised Los Angeles and San Francisco with a spate of 14 burglaries, 11 rapes, 5 attempted murder and 13 brutal murders, many using a machete, a tyre iron and a hammer. On 30th August 1985, Ramirez was the lead story on all news networks and noticing his photo on every newspaper he attempted to steal several cars to escape, but was chased, restrained and hit over the head with a metal bar by his pursuers. On 20th September 1989, Ramirez was sentenced to 13 death sentences at the gas chamber in California... but died of secondary complications to B-cell lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) on 7th June 2013. Aged 53, he had been on Death Row for over 23 years. Jeffrey Dahmer "Milwaukee Cannibal" - DEAD - Between 1978-91, Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys, some of whose corpses he raped, decapitated and even ate. On 22nd July 1991, he lured 32 year old Tracey Edwards into his home with the promise of $100 to take a few nude photos. Once inside, sickened by a foul odour and unnerved by a drum of muriatic acid (which he used to dissolve body parts), Edwards fled and Dahmer was arrested. Although diagnosed with a schizotypal & psychotic personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legally sane, and on 15th February 1992 he was sentenced to 15 (later 16) life sentences plus 70 years, as the Death Penalty had been abolished in Wisconsin in 1853. But on the morning of 28th November 1994, at the Columbia Correctional Institution, as he began his duty of mopping the prison showers, fellow prisoner Christopher Scarver bludgeoned him to death with a 20-inch (51cm) metal bar. As was his wishes, Dahmer's body was cremated and his ashes were divided between his divorced parents. Dennis Rader "The BTK Killer" - ALIVE - Radar was a sadist who's ominous signature was to "Bind, Kill & Torture" his ten victims between 1974-91. Always believing he was smarting than the Police, he'd often taunt them with letters published in the press, but on 16th February 2005 he sent a floppy-disk of his writing to Wichita news outlet KSAS-TV. On the disk was a Microsoft Word document, the metadata of which identified the writer's place of work (Christ Lutheran Church, of which he was President) and that it was last updated by someone called "Dennis". Knowing the evidence was circumstantial, Police obtained a warrant to test the DNA on his daughter's pap-smear, which proved a genetically similar DNA match. Radar was arrested and - as Kansas doesn't have the Death Penalty - was sentenced to 10 consecutive life sentences at El Dorado Correctional Facility where he lives in solitary confinement for his own protection. He will be eligible for parole after 175 years. Ted Bundy – DEAD - Between 1974-78, across seven states; Washington, Utah, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Idaho and California, Ted Bundy (serial killer, kidnapper, rapist and necrophile) assaulted and murdered at least 30 young women, often returning to their decapitated corpses to fulfil his sexual needs until they were so purified, that sex was not possible. Although Bundy was arrested on 16th August 1975 by a police officer who spotted him prowling a residential area in his VW Beetle at dawn in possession of a crowbar, ski-mask, rope, handcuffs and an ice-pick, they were only assumed to be burglary tools. Following a hunch, when Bundy sold his car a month later, the FBI swabbed it and found the hair strands from three unsolved murder cases. But before he could be arrested for murder, Bundy would kill six more women as they slept in their beds. He was executed by electric chair at Raiford Prison (Florida) on 24th January 1989 at 7:16 am, cremated at Gainesville and his ashed were scattered in an undisclosed location in the Cascade Range of Washington State. Aileen Wuornos – DEAD - Between 30th November 1989 and 19th November 1990, Wuornos robbed and shot at point-blank range seven men who (she claimed) had tried to rape her as she worked as a prostitute; a defence she would later recant citing robbery. Having sold many of her victim's possessions, and even seen by witnesses driving one of her victims' cars, on 9th January 1991 Wuornos was arrested on an outstanding warrant, during which time Police convinced her former lover - Tyria Moore - to elicit a telephone confession from her in return for immunity. One week later, Wuornos confessed to the murders and was sentenced to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison on 9th October 2002 at 9:47 am. She declined a last meal and simply had a cup of black coffee. Her body was cremated and her ashes sprinkled under a tree in her native Michigan by her childhood friend Dawn Botkins. David Berkowitz "Son of Sam" - ALIVE - Between 29th July 1976 and 31st July 1977, alleged satanist David Berkowitz terrorised The Bronx (New York) by killing six people and wounding seven others, most of whom were amorous couples "making-out" in cars. Although the "Son of Sam" killings sparked one of New York's largest man-hunts, eluding Police for a year, Berkowitz was arrested when he attempted to kill dog-walker - Cacilia Davis - who noticed that he escaped in a 1970 yellow Ford Galaxie... which Patrolman Michael Cataneo has ticketed a few minutes earlier for illegal parking. On 10th August 1977, as he left his home, Berkowitz was arrested; his car and home was searched and they found a rifle, a duffel-bag of ammo', a map of the crime scenes, as well as three meticulously written diaries. On 12th June 1978 Berkowitz was sentenced to serve 25 year-to-life for each murder, at the Attica Correctional Facility. Although he claimed his murders were the direct orders of a demon who manifested itself as a dog called "Harvey" which belonged to his neighbour "Sam", Berkowitz was found sane to stand trial. Since his incarceration, "Son of Sam" has found God as an Evangelical Christian, hence he has now been dubbed by fellow convicts - "Son of Hope".
