The Japanese man fell for a woman named Renée Hartevelt while he was in

she befriended actually pregnant Bobbie Jo Stinnett, showed up at her house,

but Lisa then killed her.



4. H.H. Holmes





During the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, H.H. Holmes charmed and lured victims
to his castle of horrors, where he murdered them and hid their bodies in the walls.

was fed down to the basement where there were vats of acid to throw the bodies into.



5. David Parker Ray, the "Toy Box Killer"





Ray sexually tortured victims in a decked-out chamber he called his "Toy Box," filled
with chains, whips, and even saws. Even though there's no actual proof he killed
anyone, he's presumed to have murdered almost 60 women. Just awful.



6. The Greyhound Bus Murder





While aboard a packed Greyhound bus in 2008, Vince Li stabbed and beheaded 22-year

and is currently free.

but the crime still hasn’t been solved.



8. Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka





This rich, good-looking couple got off on killing. They raped and murdered three
women — including Homolka's little sister, who was "given" to Bernardo by Homolka
as a Christmas gift. While recording the entire evening, they drugged, raped,
and left her for dead. What the ****?



9. Christopher Porco





In 2004, Porco's dad's blood-soaked body was found in his home. His mom was in
her bed, face mutilated by a fireman's ax, but alive. Apparently Porco had forged his
parents' signatures on loans for college and a new Jeep, and they weren't happy — so
he thought murdering them would solve the issue.

them to the crocodiles. In his autobiography, he wrote, "For all of these things,
I am not the least bit sorry."

currently on death row in Oklahoma.

history at the time. The murder spree ended when Henley
brutally shot Corll to death.



13. The Beast of Ukraine/The Terminator





Anatoly Onoprienko would travel the countryside of Ukraine just to find a house

them to his fiancé — including her engagement ring.



14. Mary Bell





Bell was 10 years old when she committed her first murder, strangling a 4-year-old boy,

private parts. She now lives in England under a new name.



15. The Toolbox Killers





In 1979, Roy Lewis Norris and Lawrence Sigmund Bittaker kidnapped, raped, and
murdered five teenage girls in Southern California, over the period of five months.
The absolute worst part? Most of the items they used to torture these poor girls
were tools you'd find in your own garage.



16. Karla Faye Tucker





She and her boyfriend broke into a friend's house one night in 1983, and while there,
her boyfriend hit their friend in the head with a hammer. He started making gurgling

and vomited and couldn't escape, while the therapist said,
"You want to die? Okay, then die."
The session was transcribed, up to the moment where she suffocated.
