Interviews with serial killers

The author taunted authorities and glorified the killings. When the smoking gun cleared, a young postal worker named David Berkowitz was arrested and made a confession to the killings. Also known as the Killer Clown, John Wayne Gacy was responsible for the murder of 33 men and boys over the course of a few years. In a chilling interview, Gacy had one last chance to plead his case before execution.

Gacy was eerily calm as he displayed some of the pictures that he had painted while in prison. He still did not mention any remorse for his hideous crimes. He said that people can find peace within themselves. It was strange that he mentioned his beliefs against corporal punishment and the importance of being involved in the community. When he was asked was he afraid to die, Gacy said that he had peace and no fear. He would later die of a lethal injection in Serial killer interviews remind us of the unspeakable evils that humans can impose on one another.

Hearing things in their own words make it even more disturbing. We still do not completely know what makes these misanthropic serial killers tick. Here are five of the creepiest interviews: 1. Ted Bundy Interview Just hours before he was electrocuted in the electric chair for the rape and murder of nearly 50 women, serial killer Ted Bundy gave an official interview. Jeffrey Dahmer's Interview Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the most notorious serial killers in modern history.

Charles Manson Interview The flowery summer of ended with a murder spree in the Hollywood area. In early interviews, Berkowitz claimed that a demon named Sam was controlling his mind and that he did not realize what he was doing.

Berkowitz was sentenced to life in prison. In more recent interviews, Berkowitz changed his story and said that he had been brainwashed by an evil cult. He said that he just wanted to fit in somewhere and had no intentions of killing anyone.

Berkowitz now claims that he did not act alone in the New York murders. He says that he was just an accomplice to a group of murderers. If Berkowitz is telling the truth, there are still a group of people running free who committed murder.

If he is lying, it would just be more evidence to indict a sad and twisted mind. Are we missing an interview? We're counting down the 5 scariest serial killer interviews we could find, but we can't promise you'll get any sleep after watching them. Make sure you lock your doors after listening to these devilish dialogues. Charles Manson Insults His Interviewer. On first viewing, this dialogue — during which the widely reviled cult leader Charles Manson tells his interlocutor that she needs to lose weight — seems sort of goofy.

Upon further reflection, it was precisely these kinds of cruel intimidation tactics that allowed Manson to control a handful of underlings and coax them to commit heinous crimes.

The tortured logic and extreme cruelty of Manson's rhetoric are on full display in this short, strange scene.

The strained relationship between cannibal killer Jeffrey Dahmer and his father Lionel has been explored in several books including My Friend Dahmer and A Father's Story , but their bizarre, detached kinship is on display in this spooky conversation.

In it, Dahmer explores the psychology behind his crimes while his father patiently listens and reacts. The interview itself begins at the mark. The conversation ranges from a philosophical discussion of evil, to Ramirez's take on the women who became obsessed with him after his imprisonment including one of the jurors that put him away and even into Ramirez's own personal politics.

He felt "serial killers do what governments do on a large one. They are a product of the times, and this is a bloodthirsty one. Gary Ridgway became known as the "Green River Killer" after the Washington river where his first few strangulation victims were found. His typical MO involved picking up women on the road, earning their trust, having sex with them either consensual or forcibly , strangling them with his bare arms or ligatures, and then dumping them around the forested areas of Kings County, Washington.

His massacre went on from the s to early s, and is thought to have claimed the lives of 70 to 90 women mainly prostitutes and runaways.

Ridgway confessed to the crimes, but concedes that he killed so frequently, he lost count of the total. In this interview, the Green River Killer details his ploy of using a photo of his son to win his victim's sympathy and trust.

He also discusses an incident when he picked up a victim with his son in the car. Between the years and , Rader killed 10 people men and women , all in the state of Kansas. He had allegedly learned how to get around home security systems while working as an installer for ADT Security Services.

He also liked to send taunting messages to the local police boasting about his crimes and demanding media attention. Though his last murder is believed to have taken place in , Rader was not captured until , after he had resumed sending out letters as BTK. In the end, he was undone by technology - he did not realize a floppy disk he sent to police could be analyzed to determine things like his first name and location.

The metadata on the disk led police right to him. Though there are few new revelations in this interview Rader did with NBC News, it does give the viewer some kind of insight into his motives and madness. For example, Rader states in reference to the origins of his slaughters, "I actually think I may be possessed with demons. I was dropped on my head as a kid. He also describes his meticulous preparations for the murder, which often involved stalking his victims and then waiting for them in their own homes.

On occasion, potential victims would alter their plans, thus evading BTK without even knowing how close they had come. He conceded, upon his capture, that he had planned to begin killing again, and had already started to stalk his next victim. As chilling as these stories of murder, rape, dismemberment and much worse are, there is comfort that these convicted killers, if still alive, are locked away to never hurt anyone ever again. Issei Sagawa. Initially imprisoned in France for the crime, he was later extradited in Japan, where his crime became a subject of intense public fascination.

The above is a documentary film about Sagawa's that aired in Scandinavia in the s called "Cannibal Superstar. Sagawa is currently a free man, living in Tokyo and working as a writer, restaurant reviewer!!!

John Wayne Gacy. Fast forward to the mark to see Gacy try to cover it up his blunder by telling the interviewer "Oh! Ok, I'm sorry if I led you to believe that. Strike it then. That is wrong. Though he can probably "strike" out his own memories or truths for his own advantage, the memory and permanence of film does not change and Gacy was ultimately executed on orders of the Supreme Court by lethal injection.

Charles Manson. Manson's closing line does seem somehow genuine, and may have been intended to gain sympathy from his audience. He declares, "I've been with prostitutes and bums and winos all my life. The street is my world. I don't pretend to go uptown and be anything fancy.
