    On the subject ive always believed there was a serial killer in the Leinster Area.I'd say he's pretty dormant now with the introduction of mobile phones and that.But ive often wondered if there was one out there how many did this evil fooker kill?

    Well the disappearances stopped when a certain rapist went to jail.

    I've had a morbid obsession with Jack the Ripper since I was allowed as a small child watch that 2 part series with Michael Cain on the telly by my mad granny who lived in the middle of nowhere on an isolated farm.

    So he's my fav :D

    I was just about to mention that.

    Albert Fish is one that always gives me the shivers when I think about it. What he did was absolutely messed up. And the sad thing is, it's probably nothing compared to what some people are doing at the moment. It's usually pure chance that causes most serial killers to be caught. Most of them and their victims will never be found.

    Wasn't it actually Dr Harold Shipman who was the most prolific serial killer of all time? Over 200 deaths have been laid at his feet, anyway.

    There is something more insidiously sinister about him. The calculated way in which he fully exploited his position of utmost trust to kill, and make a profit. I find it more chilling the Hollywood movies style serial killers, tbh.

    I went through a phase in the 90's reading about most serial killers. To date, the worst that I have ever read about is Peewee Gaskin. His torture methods of both male and female were unspeakable...

    Agreed. Citizen X is a film about him, or rather, a film about the forensic analyst Viktor Burakov (played by Stephen Rea) who worked on the case for nearly 10 years. There's a scene at the end where his superior (Donald Sutherland) formally apologises for pushing Burakov to breaking point on the case and Burakov breaks down completely. Don't know if it's true but it's a scene that's stayed with me.

    He only tried to profit with one of his last victims by forging her will which is one of the reasons he got caught.

    Garavito and Lopez, both Colombian, are the two serial killers at the top of the List of Serial Killers by Number of Victims. The third on the list is also Colombian.

    5th is an American guy I've never heard of, surprisingly.

    Are you defining "worst" as the person who killed the most or the person who was just not good at being a serial killer. lol.

    Watching a docu on BBC4 last night about the Shankill butchers... reckoned that those bastards as a collective were Britain's worst serial killers...

    As for the world's worst? No clue, maybe Hitler or one of those madfellas?

    Beat me to it.

    Says it all when the UVF gave the ring leaders details to the IRA so they could meter out a bit of revenge.

    Ed Kemper was a crazy bastard. He killed his mother, decapitated her and then had oral sex with the head.

    Carl Panzram was pretty horrific by all standards. In between murdering at least 22 people and sodomizing over 1000 men (and no he wasn't gay) he came out with some of the craziest quotes ever:

    “I have no desire whatever 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.”

    "I wish you all had one neck and that I had my hands on it.”

    His final words were like something from Sin City:

    "Hurry it up, I could hang a dozen men while your fooling around."

    Yeah he was a bad dude. More of a psychotic hitman than a serial killer though.

    Denis Nielsen has always fascinated me. Read a book about him "Killing for company". Kind of strange - seems he was lonely and found it difficult to make / keep friends. There wasn't cruelty per se involved but he sure was a disturbed individual.

    Scary to think he could have been stopped earlier in the investigation.
    Found it hard to watch any films with Dennehy after watching "To catch a Killer", he was so good -evil personified.
