Blog explanation

This blog will discuss murderers, serial killers, and all things macabre. Some girls have an obsession with cooking, or makeup, or gardening or travel...and while all of those topics are of interest to me...to be honest, aren't there enough blogs on those particular subjects? I would like to shake things up a bit. I've always had a fascination with murderers and serial killers, their back stories, their killing rituals, how they got caught...IF they got caught. I will be doing my very best to piece together any and all knowledge on every serial killer which I choose to feature here in this blog. I will even include photos of crimes scenes when available. I hope that anyone reading this blog will learn some things about a killer you've never heard of, or some new things about your favorite killer (if you've gotten this far into my explanation, I'm going to assume that you have just as big an interest in this subject matter as myself) At any rate, I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I will enjoy putting it together for you. Please feel free to share any of my posts, and give me a follow/subscribe! So here's to the creepy, macabre, and downright despicable! Happy reading!

Luis Garavito: The Beast of Colombia

Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos was born in Colombia on January 25 th 1957. Garavito was the eldest of seven brothers, who were all raised by his alcoholic father; a man who both mentally and physically assaulted him and his siblings. Garavito decided to leave home at the age of 16 to get away from his father and make his own life. Work in Colombia at the time was hard to come by, so he often moved to keep up with odd jobs. Garavito kept a steady girlfriend who had a small child when they met [When questioned after his eventual arrest she was quoted as saying that he got along quite well with the child] all of the friends he acquired over the years said he was a kind man, but could be “easily tempered.” Garavito started his killing career around 1992 and continued killing until he was caught by the Colombian Justice Department on April 22 nd 1999. Garavito targeted young homeless or orphaned boys between the ages of 6 and 16. He would disguise himself as various characters in order...

Edmund Kemper- The Co-ed Killer

Let’s jump right into it shall we? We will start with Kemper’s backstory/troubled childhood. Born Edmund Emil Kemper III on December 18 th 1948 in Burbank, California. Kemper was the middle child to Clarnell Elizabeth Kemper and Edmund Emil Kemper II. Kemper’s father was a WW2 veteran, and after the war he tested nuclear weapons in the Pacific Proving Grounds, before returning to California and working as an electrician. Kemper’s mother [who was known as a raging alcoholic] often criticized his father’s job, stating that it was “menial.” Kemper’s father once stated “suicide missions in wartime and the later atomic bomb testings were nothing compared to living with Clarnell.” He also stated that she affected him “as a grown man more than 396 days and nights of fighting on the front did.” Kemper was very aware of his parents’ issues, and I believe it was definitely a component to his later behavior. Kemper was a very large person, when he was born he weighed 13lbs and by the age o...

Gary Ridgway: The Green River Killer

Okay so let’s dive into Gary Ridgway’s backstory, to hopefully give some insight into what may or may not have caused him to eventually lash out violently and kill. Gary Leon Ridgway was born on February 18 th 1949 in Salt Lake City Utah, although he was raised near Seattle’s Pacific Highway in an impoverished neighborhood near the SeaTac Airport. Ridgway was the middle son to Mary and Thomas Ridgway. Ridgway’s father Thomas worked as a bus driver and would often complain to Gary about the presence of prostitutes in and around his neighborhood and on his bus route. Family members described Ridgeway’s mother Mary as “domineering” and also stated that Ridgway witnessed several violent arguments between his parents while growing up. Ridgway was not known as a very good student, and it is said that he has an IQ of only 82. When Ridgway was 16 years old, he stabbed a 6-year-old boy after luring him into the woods, where he stabbed him through his ribs and into his liver, apparently wantin...
