The IRA talk reminded me of an interview Conan O'Brien had with Colin Quinn sometime during the late 90s. Colin spent most of it trying to get Conan to put on some kind of IRA pin to show support. So yeah, there were Americans who were publicly for that ungodly mess.

He used his job as a real-estate agent to set up a secret murder farm and first started committing violent sex crimes 30 years ago. He is very likely an accomplished serial killer.

Has there ever been a sadistic sexual serial killer who targeted adult men? Jeffrey Dahmer killed men, but he was a genuine necrophile and didn't make his victims suffer (this isn't a defense, I'm just saying it's a different sort of interest). All the others I can think of targeted women or children/teens.

I don't think it's just a practical consideration. I feel like there's a really hosed up predator-prey dynamic that goes on with these guys, and they get off on targeting victims they perceive as weak and helpless. For some reason, no one ever seems to be interested in chaining men up in sheds and sexually abusing them.

There's another guy, American, but I'm blanking on the name. He would chain them up and torture them for days. He was finally caught after a victim managed to to escape and find his way to the police.

EDIT: This fucker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Berdella


EDIT 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Eyler This guy killed both boys and young men.


Another reason sadists targeting grown men are rarer is the fact grown men are usually much harder to control by (mostly) one person, unlike a woman or a child. So even if they'd really prefer grown men, they might not won't to risk biting off more than they can chew.

I shopped in his store several times, Bob's Bizzare Bazzar, and bought a Xmas present for my wife from him. The Westport Flea Market is essentially stalls and rooms, Bob had a room - he didnt have employees so you always bought and haggled with him. It was creepy for a lot of us when he got caught. He had 4 skulls above the door which everyone assumed were fake. Jokes on them.

Oh and a local weirdo millionaire bought the stores inventory and moved it south to Harrisonville, Del Dunmire iirc.

Yeah, I've been through I think 5 custom avs in the last 3 days? You're welcome, Lowtax. Anyway.

Panzram is fascinating, because he wrote down his rationale for everything he did. He's one of those infamous crazy nihilists but his reasoning is a lot more nuanced than that, and overall extremely sad. That said, he apparently could make friends and have relationships. One of the weirdest things he mentions in his letters to the guard who was nice to him (who put $1 in his prison account so he could buy stuff and made him cry) is just this passing aside that he was seeing some dude, and that guy guy weirded out by him, so Panzram just let him off at the next harbor and they parted ways.

Like, in this story of a guy who raped and murdered absolutely poo poo tons of men, there's "Oh and I was dating some guy but it didn't work out :(."

Anyway, worth getting the book of his letters if you are interested in that kind of thing.

quote:

I am 36 years old and I have been a criminal all of my life. I have 11 felony convictions against me. I have served 20 years of my life in Jails, Reform Schools and prisons. I know why I am a criminal. Others may have different theories as to my life but I have no theory about it. I know the facts. If any man ever was a habitual criminal. I am one. In my lifetime I have broken every law that was ever made by both Man and God. If either had made more, I should cheerfully have broken them also. The mere fact that I have done these things is quite sufficient for the average person. Very few peopel ever consider it worth while to wonder why I am what I am and do what I do. All that they think it is necessary to do is to catch me, try me convict me and send me to prison for a few years, make life miserable for me while in prison and then turn me loose again. That is the system that is in practice today in this country. The consequences are that such that any one and every one can see. crime and lots of it. Those who are sincere in thier desire to put down crime, are to be pitied for all of thier efforts which accomplish so little in the desired direction. They are the ones who are decieved by thier own ignorance and by the trickery and greed of others who profit the most by crime.

I followed one of the serial killer links through to the Original Night Stalker page, and I was wondering if anybody had any insight into the whole psychological profile of serial killer thing? The very specific items on those lists always throw me for a loop. For the Original Night Stalker, for example, there's some things that make sense:

quote:

White male
Dressed well and would not stand out in upscale neighborhoods
Had some means of income, but did not work in the early morning hours
Sexually functional and capable of ejaculation with consenting and non-consenting partners
Would appear harmless

I assume you could puzzle out most of this stuff from when and where and how the guy was committing his crimes. But there's some stuff that sounds either reaching or just total speculation.

quote:

Had some knowledge of police investigative methods and evidence-gathering techniques
Intelligent and articulate
Likely began as a voyeur in his late teens or early twenties
Neat and well-organized in his personal life
Was a skilled and experienced cat burglar and may have begun that way
Would have been described by those who knew him as arrogant, domineering, manipulative, and a chronic liar

Some of this I suppose are traits common to serial killers, but "knowledge of police tactics" seems pretty specific, same thing with cat burglar. Is there a degree of art to a profile, or is it total science? All I know about psychological profiles is Hannibal, so.

Peter Vronsky gets into this a little bit in his book Serial Killers. Basically it's statistical analysis that correlates details of the crime with other similar details from other crimes, and it's not perfect and casts a wide net. I think he says it's debatable whether FBI profiles can be shown to help in specific or measurable ways.

This was my favorite entry in that list because holy poo poo this guy must have been an absolute moron.

quote:

Carl Panzram was in prison for a burglary when he confessed to his best friend, a prison guard, that he had killed 22 men and raped at least 1,000. He was sentenced to 25 years for these crimes but received the death penalty when he killed a fellow inmate. He was hung in 1930.

Not exactly, because he was openly advocating for his own death.

quote:

In June of 1929, Panzram bludgeoned a prison employee to death, and his autobiographical project was abruptly terminated. At his murder trial in 1930, Panzram told the judge that he didn't need a lawyer, he wanted to plead guilty and let the state prove its case unhindered. Upon due consideration, he was found guilty and sentenced to hang on September 5, 1930. Panzram was pleased, and admonished the Society for the Abolishment of Capital Punishment for trying to save his life:

"I prefer to die that way, and if I have a soul and if that soul should burn in Hell for a million years, still I prefer that to a lingering, agonizing death in some prison dungeon or a padded cell in a mad house... The only thanks you or your kind will ever get from me for your efforts on my behalf is that I wish you all had one neck and that I had my hands on it... I have no desire to reform myself. My only desire is to reform people who try to reform me, and I believe that the only way to reform people is to kill 'em. My motto is: 'Rob 'em all, rape 'em all, kill 'em all!'

Also, when he beat the guard to death, he immediately turned himself in and said he had definitely killed that guard and was pleased to have done so.

Carl Panzram posted:

I look forward to a seat in the electric chair or dance at the end of a rope just like some folks do for their wedding night.

Reading the collection of his letters is worth it. He is an extremely odd jumble. He definitely wanted to die, and he intended to take other people with him.

I'm not talking about Jimmy Savile I remember this fat rear end had a more British sounding name and looked more rapey and gross. I remember looking at a picture of him and thinking "that overweight British man abuses the position of power he is in to do bad things to defenseless people".

It was Cyril Smith all I had to do was GIS overweight british politician and he was the first picture. The sack of poo poo weighed a whopping 419lbs.

Panzram and Tommy Lynn Sells are really interesting because they actually talked openly about what drove them to kill and what they thought was wrong with them. Like they knew they were hosed up and once caught wanted to understand why. Kuklinski was sort of like that too, but I think he was way more full of poo poo in his interviews than Sells or Panzram.
