FACTS ABOUT SERIEL KILLERS

Reading the post that Diamondkt had on serial killers and all of the interesting comments made me awfully curious so I did some research. I know there 's more, but this is all I found.



When a person thinks about a serial killer they inevitably think of a man. It just doesn't seem that women are capable of such brutal crimes.

Here are the names of some female seriel killers:
1.Martha Beck - hated other women but used a man as her pawn.Both were caught and electrocuted in New York's Sing Sing Prison in 1951.

2.Sante Kimes -A more recent serial female killer who raised her own son to help her. They are both in prison at this time.

3. Gwendolyn Graham and Catherine Wood - Two twisted female nurses that were in love with each other. Killed at least six elderly women and when they were washing the bodies for burial would make love. Catherine Wood became the star witness against Gwendolyn Graham. Graham was sentenced to life and Wood to 20 to 40 years.

4. Dorothea Mantalvo Puenta - Rented apartments at very cheap rates, even took in the homeless. They were her victims. She was charged with a total of 9 murders in 1993 but found guilty of only 3. She was sentenced to life without parole.

Out of all of these I find the one of Sante Kimes and her son the most interesting. She had to be pretty smart to pull of some off the things she did.The crime that had finished the pair was the murder of Irene Silverman an elderly lady who lived in an East Side mansion that she would lease for $6,000 per month. Silverman was just too well known to be allowed to disappear without a trace. What had happened was that Sante and Kenny had gotten Silverman to go into their apartment then shot her in the head with a stun gun. While she lay paralyzed on the floor, Kenny strangled her with his bare hands. After that, her body was stuffed into a suitcase and Kenny threw it into the truck of a car and then disposed of it. Sante had produced a false bill of sale for the mansion and her story was that Silverman had sold her the house. Sante Kimes had more nerve than anyone could imagine. She and her son had forged an invitation to the White House and actually met with Mrs. Nixon, the then President's wife, where Sante took a photograph of her son with Mrs. Nixon to be used to influence other politicians in a grand bunko scheme. Somehow they had also avoided the Secret Service and got to Vice President Ford during a party and had a conversation with him. Their scheme was thwarted when the Washington Papers got hold of the story about them crashing the party. People began to disappear. The family lawyer took a trip with Sante and Kenny and never returned. Sante's husband died of a heart attack, or did he? She went into a deal with David Kazdin a real estate agent and then murdered him. A Bahamian banker named Sayed Bilal discovered that Sante was doing some illegal transactions with her husband's former bank accounts and scheduled a meeting with Sante, he was never seen again.

So you see, female mass murders can be as vicious as males, there just aren't as many of them, they account for about 8% of all serial killers in this country. Their favorite methods of killing in the order of preference are: poison, shooting, beating, suffocation, stabbing and drowning.

Makes me wonder if there really is fewer female seriel kellers - or not??

Have to give credit to google for this one http://aboutfacts.net/People48.htm

Ah yes, you are following down the same path as my sick twisted mind. Welcome aboard! ;) Aren't serial killers the most fascinating reading of all? I can't ever get enough of those types of stories.

I watched a movie called "Monster" - I believe was the title. It's about a prostitute who goes on a serial killing spree. It's based on a true story and the woman was just put to death not too long ago. In fact HBO did a documentary on her before she was executed.

Anyways, "Monster" is a good, but a rather depressing movie and there is one violent rape scene that I just couldn't stomach so be aware of that part if you choose to watch it. Other than that women, I only remember one other female serial killer. We learned about her in college. She was a nursing student who was putting cyanide in orange juice samples. The OJ was given to dorm room students with their on campus gift packs. The gift packs are handed out at the beginning of the school year.

Very good one girl. I have seen the test before on DKT's site before. I originally got 2 of 10 right. My original knowledge of both historical programmers and historical serial killers was at a minimum. Took the test a second time on DKT's site and only got 5 or 6 of 10 right.

You are right to show that both sexes are sexist when thinking about serial killers.

And imagine the possibity that a man might have been convicted who were actually innocent because of such a serial-killer-woman was able to make the man look like he was guilty....

wow, this almost relates to my quote I posted last night on my blog.

go take a look.
