- You might get a few nightmares from this one.
So, society seems to have a weird fascination
with serial killers.
We write books, we make movies about them.
Hell, we even put wax figures of them up in our museums,
and we've all heard of the most famous ones,
like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy,
and the oh-so-creepy murderous clown:
John Wayne Gacy, but their careers are over,
so there's nothing to fear, right?
Well, as it turns out, there's more than a few
serial killers that have made a name for themselves,
that are roaming the world right now.
In fact, they may be closer than you think.
So if you thought the worst of the worst
were either dead or locked up,
prepare yourself, because here
are 10 Terrifying Serial Killers
who are free right now!
Number one is the Kobe cannibal.
The Kobe cannibal is a famous necrophiliac murderer
from Japan, who's known for killing,
having sex with, and eating a Dutch woman
named Renee Hartevelt, and yes,
he did those things in that order.
After being declared insane, he was placed
in an asylum to only be released after 15 months
due to "paperwork" problems and heavy influence
from his rich father.
Today, he enjoys a life as a minor celebrity in Tokyo
and lives an open and public life.
He's written two books, starred in movies,
and even speaks at public events
where he goes into detail about what it's like
to eat people, even mentioning that they taste like tuna.
I would say that it's weird that Japan
is making this guy a minor celebrity,
but then again, this is the same culture that
brought us bagel heads, tenticle porn,
and pixelated wangs, so, yeah, I'm not surprised.
Number two is the predator of Ciudad Juarez.
Hailing from Mexico, this unidentified killer
is responsible for 165 murders.
Since 1993, more than 500 women have been murdered
in Ciudad Juarez, making it one of the most
dangerous cities in the world.
The disturbing thing is that out of all the killings,
more than one third are so similar that they're
believed to be the work of a single madman.
So essentially what we've got here
is one of two scenarios:
either there's a whole bunch of murderers
running around in Mexico killing people,
or one murderer who's just really good
at covering his tracks.
Either way, you should probably reconsider
that family vacation to Mexico.
Number 3 is the monster of the Andes.
Born in Columbia, this murderer became famous
for the sheer number of young girls
that he killed.
Between 1969 and 1980, he killed over 350 girls,
110 in Ecuador and another 240 in Peru and Columbia,
but what's even more disturbing than that
was the penalty he got for his crimes.
As it turns out, Ecuador has no death penalty
and has a maximum prison sentence of only 20 years.
So in 1999, he was released, having served
an average of less than three weeks prison time
for each of his victims, and of course,
like most guys on this list, he didn't learn his lesson,
because he's wanted right now by Interpol
for a murder he's suspected of committing
back in 2002, meaning that he's been out there
for over a decade.
But don't worry.
I'm sure you're safe.
Nothing to worry about.
Sweet dreams.
Number Four is the Karachi child killer.
The Karachi child killer is an unidentified murderer
from Pakistan, who exclusively targets children.
Between 2012 and 2013, more than 15 children
have gone missing,
all of which were found brutally murdered.
However, at the beginning of this year,
there was a sharp rise in child abductions
in the city of Karachi, with more than 190 cases
being reported.
In fact, it's becoming such a problem
that police recommend to parents
that they don't let their children
out of their sight after dark.
Look, I don't want to make a joke,
because this is really awful,
but maybe if the Pakistani police
put in as much effort into finding this guy
as telemarketers do into calling us,
maybe they'd get somewhere.
Number Five is the Finland slayer.
Born in Finland, this psycho committed his first murder
at the age of 22, when he murdered
a husband, a wife, and their son,
all over a bike.
Since then, he's been released multiple times,
each time going back to jail for various crimes
like car theft, parole violations, assault,
and yes, even more murders.
He also successfully escaped five times
over the last 20-odd years of being in prison.
Yet, despite all of that, in July of last year,
authorities saw fit to reduce his sentence
to only 10 months, meaning that he should be free
right now.
So, if you're a bike owner in Finalnd or Sweden,
you might want to consider another mode
of transportation, because Stabby McStaberson's
on the loose, and he's got a fetish for bikes!
You've been warned.
Number Six is the highway serial killings.
These killings are unique because they
may involve up to 200 unidentified murderers,
that are responsible for up to 450 homicides
over the last 4 decades.
The victims are almost always women
in the sex trade whose bodies are found
off of highways all across the United States,
sometimes in pieces in plastic bags.
In fact, these killings have become such a problem
that the FBI created the Highway Serial Killings Initiative
to try to protect the public and identify those responsible.
The initiative includes such innovative tips as:
don't get in a truck with a stranger.
Ha! Good thing they told me that!
I was totally planning on hitching a ride
with the next creepy trucker I saw.
Whew! The more you know!
Number seven is Metal Fang.
Hailing from Kazakhstan, this sociopath
got the nickname of "Metal Fang" due to
his white metal teeth, that he used
to eat the 50 to 100 women that he murdered.
Surprisingly, he was never found guilty for his crimes,
due to a diagnosis of insanity and schizophrenia.
He's been in and out of mental instututions
for the last 30 years, and the last that anybody heard
of him was that he was deemed "cured"
and is now a free man.
That, despite reservations from some of his doctors
who he will never be cured of his cannibalistic instincts.
Well, seeing as how he's a free man,
and he was never found responsible for his crimes,
he's free to travel the world!
That means he could be anywhere,
even your attic.
Why don't you go take a look-see?
Number eight is the Long Island serial killer.
This psycho is an unidentified serial killer
who's believed to have been responsible
for 10 to 14 murders of women associated
with the sex trade since 1996.
He got his name for the way that he dumps
his victim's bodies along Ocean Parkway
on Long Island, New York.
Some people even believe that this killer
could have ties to law enforcement
because of his sophisticated knowledge
of police procedures.
So in other words, there's a real-life Dexter?
Well, that's comforting.
I guess it's to serve and protect,
and chop you up into little pieces, Clarice.
Number nine is the Smiley face killer.
The Smiley face killer is the name given
to an unidentified killer who's been responsible
for over 200 murders since the early 1990s.
In every case, a young man disappeared
after a late night of partying and was found drowned
after a certain time.
His name was given after detectives found
a graffiti Smiley face at many of the drowning sites.
What's interesting about this killer is that,
similar to the highway killings,
these occurred across the entire United States.
See? You should never trust someone
that's all about smiling and seems happy all the time,
because they're probably a psycho.
(clears throat)
And number ten, the Mexicali ripper.
The Mexicali ripper is an unidentified
serial killer from Mexico who's responsible
for killing over 44 women since 2008.
He dismembers his victims, throwing the pieces
into canals and vacant lots,
primarily targetting prostitutes in the city.
Up until 2011, Mexican police refused to admit
the existence of a serial killer, due to the vast
number of crime-related murders.
However, they have no choice now,
as a serious threat exists.
Wait a minute, Mexican police tried to cover this up?
But that sounds like corruption!
Mexican police aren't corrupt! Nah!
And that's all for this time, guys!
