I didn’t realize Tucker Carlson was from Delaware.
bettywales
I feel bad for all the state that still don't know whodunnit...
Jmarbs
The Texas killer corrl had 2 teen age accomplices. One died this past May of covid while serving a life sentence in Texas. He was 65.
WinoCrimesand69s
I mean Corona was bad but i wouldve thought on "prolific" scale, Zodiac or Kemper recieved extensive coverage
androgenoide
Corona was accused of around 50 and convicted of 25. Lake and Ng probably killed around 50 as well but the evidence wasn't there.
rogue00ff
John Joubert (Maine) also tortured & killed two paper boys while at Offutt AFB in Bellevue, NE. SIL's dad worked on base with him.
iamthecomet
My aunt worked with the Green River killer. She worked at a long-term home for battered women. He was the landscaper. True story.
Because of him they have taken up a strictly no men allowed on the premises policy.
Leneyloo
It's weird that I was proud of my state being in the top, yes? #toocompetative
jrredneck
Whoo! Michigan!
Br0doSwaggins
Why does Steven Brian Pennell look familiar?
Aevarifails
I thought I was the only one that noticed that resemblance
CargoManshark
Carrol Edward Cole got Iowa and Nevada? Way to over achieve.
Chingchongpotatojack
Should we really glorify these psychos?
Interesting af though
Snickt
These people should be buried and forgotten.
SilBil22
Why is this a thing??? It’s like a hall of fame for them... isn’t the point to not make them more famous?
seriously9
Where is the picture of an orange?
CraptainBlack
Kinda feel like Trump should be on here by proxy
moosemanct
DC isn’t a state (yet) but that should count
DoIHaveToQuestion
Over 140k divided by 52 is still a whole lot more than anyone else on this list... also people in general are just the worst human beings.
headloser
The worst part these things are the one WE know about. I heard somewhere there about 50 to 100 serial killers in USA alone. No wonder.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Isn't it crazy that you and I know exactly where 2 of them are?
rshini
Given a lot of them target prostitutes and transient workers - people society don't give a rat's ass abut.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
So, is Trump NY or Florida, or perhaps DC since he's living there while doing all his murders?
Chronozon937
The dude from Delaware looks disturbingly familiar
tinbed25
#1. Jospeh Roy Metheny looks exactly what Id expect someone with "meth" in their name to look like..
TeacupCannibal
The BBQ was second to none, though!
ZombieDK
Pretty sure the Golden State Killer/East Area Rapist should be the California one even though they didnt catch him...yet.
MapleLeafAKAMeatball
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_James_DeAngelo
Caught but not convicted yet.
myothertotesweremcgoat
They caught him a few years ago. Joseph James Deangelo
Oh shit I didnt know that.
His arrest opened the floodgates for familial dna to be used. Season of justice!
LetMeGoogleThatShtForYou
So wheres the Scranton strangler?
gray527
Branding. Killed people in both Frankford and Scranton, but Frankford had a better media department.
MilhouseVanHoutn
Toby Flenderson fled to Costa Rica
KiopMiko
Goodbye Toby...it's been nice. Hope you find your paradise!
TheAncientSea
George Howard Skub......that’s a devil name
ChrisCorona
Richard the "Ice Man" Kulkinski was not really a serial killer. With few execptions, all murders were mafia hits.
tehranosaurusrex
If you read his book you'd know he was absolutely a serial killer. He was also from NJ not NY
I sure those killed people would be relieved to hear that from you.
guactopus
Move over ted cruz, tucker Carlson is the route 40 killer
genericusernamewastaken
Reading along... "Scheduled for release in May 2020" (Rhode Island)
Sakamakeme
25 years to serve, plus 10 years of probation, and he willingly agreed to be put as habitual felony offender
clutchthepearls
He got sentenced to another 25 years a few years ago for trying to kill another inmate
IsItBiggerThanABanana
Just read further into this cause I was curious too. Looks like he got another 25 years for stabbing an inmate last year. Still in prison.
sumowoman
Bless that stabbed inmate for his sacrifice. Probably saved several lives.
forgetthisnoise
Feel like we dodged that shit matrix style
ReginaKasteen
So close, and yet, so far...
Yeah.. it's like he wants to stay in prison.. which I may not blame him if that's all he knows.
LeeLee4734
Giggling grandma? Wtf Oklahoma?
LateNightBunnyParty
We make 'em extra creepy.
Yeah, but I was thinking Oklahoma would be in the worst with Timothy McVeigh.
He was a mass murderer, not a serial killer. That was the distinction.
So, the only difference is the length of time of death per individual? It's still murdering people.
Yeah, but this specified people who murdered a bunch of individuals over a long period of time. Serial killers. Mass murder is a bunch of +
jeenyus
Kinda surprised H.H. Holmes isn't Illinois
Holmes only had nine confirmed vs Gacy's thirty three.
XVUltima
The problem with Holmes is the lack of evidence. He certainly killed dozens, possibly hundreds, but there is no evidence on an individual
level.
CokieMonster69
Being a serial killer in Illinois is kinda like playing for the Bulls at the same time as Jordan...
4Endymion
Richard Speck doesn't even rate a mention anymore.
Elibor
1)The numbers were highly inflated by the media at the time. There are 9 they are almost certain he killed. He confessed to 27 but
2) some of those people were still alive. And his "murder castle" was also highly exaggerated.
3)This goes over a lot of it: https://www.history.com/news/murder-castle-h-h-holmes-chicago
4) While he absolutely was an abhorrent human, he isn't quite what people make him out to be. He mainly killed for insurance fraud purposes.
metalrulercid
I came looking for that but mostly his kills are unconfirmed.
TheShenanagramer
What the hell was going on in the 70s and 80s??

No internet no good security cams
Dusquidnius
The same thing that's going on now but the media and cops really don't let that info out anymore. Only when it's obvious to the public.
rhubarbarian
Leaded gasoline. (It's actually an interesting theory, check it out)
It feels like every story from that time has a hitchhiker involved
FlailosaurNuts
The lead thing is even more interesting since the same guy also invented CFCs. Thomas Midgley Jr.
EchoPMIM
IIRC, the US crime rate in general peaked around then, both violent crime and otherwise. It's been dropping steadily since around 1990.
ravenfool
LSD
BigBucketOfNope
Murder
Throwaway190190
I heard the high crime rate then was a result of high levels of childhood lead exposure in the 50s and 60s.
BeansAndRice41
It’s amazing how many are Caucasian, Middle Ages men
DrunkenMarineBiologist
Note to self: Never trust a white dude with a moustache and big glasses
Larktonguesinadicecup
Five are black. 50 states, so that's 1/10, 10%, roughly the % of US pop which is AA. Almost dead on equal.
I'd like to point out Nebraska and Oklahoma.
I’d like to point out how I thoughtfully said “many” and not all.
Yup, bunch of crazy women in Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Every other state has a man as the top serial killer. 2 states don't....
lissik
Dahmer had more kills than that. And he's famous enough that the mistake is ridiculous. Also, Carl Panzram was from MN and he had 22 I think
staktdex2718
This whole info graphic is a bit suspect
KatieVick
I think he had 17 he was convicted for
Dahmer that is
wealldobetterwhenwealldobetter
I thought so as well. Wish they would make a list of the amount of serial killers in each state. Wisconsin had quite a few
HoochIsCrazzy
Come on South Dakota, get your shit together. Those are rookie numbers
ManateemSix
Right? There are drunk drivers out there who killed more. Hardly "serial" at 2.
Meliruth
This is 2020, let's not put out a dare like that lol
Myfirstgirlfriendturnedintothemoon
To be fair, that's like 50% of the population of South Dakota
smrollinger
South Dakotan here, Anderson was no serial killer.
SoDakSmoker
I was somewhat amazed that his kill streak was 2.
HanFuckingSolo
Uhhhmmm. What. The. Actual. Fuck. Wyoming.
mondomar
There is a podcast about Alcala that I recently listened to. Kind of interesting and very sad.
aginor8
Gonna be honest for a split second I was like what the hell colorado.....
vahnn
You mean "what the maybe fuck." Between 8 and 130 lol. Could have just been 8. Homie in Michigan has AT LEAST 100.
emkayL
I’m currently listening to a wonderly podcast about him
shinyRK9
I mean... what else is there to do?
We are all prolific murderers. I killed 14 people before lunch today.
Which is why there's no one here.
gypsyj
Live here also. Can confirm
michaeloberg
Weird, the killer is listed as 8-100 possible murders, with only one in Wyoming.
I was pretty sure most of his killings were in CA, but I could be wrong.
washi
Utah has Ted Bundy, who "only" killed 8 women in the state out of his 30+ victims. Maybe it's by the most well known murders?
NotedPowerBottomAleisterCrowley
He barely counts for Wyoming. Most of his known victims are from California and New York. That super high number comes from photos found 1/2
2/2 in his home when he was arrested.
DumbShitIsMyTrigger
There's a video clip of him winning the Dating Game, too. It's terrifying

I listened to that podcast! It was a good one!
I hadn't heard about a podcast, I got it from my mom, who saw the episode in question and told me about it later
shannonogins
The dating game Killer on Spotify. It has multiple episodes running through his crimes chronologically. Fascinating and horrifying
giantrat00
Bruh the worst one imo is New Mexico with David Parker Ray. Actually the most vile shit I've ever heard in my life.
callmeKAAD
I wish I could burn the knowledge of what he did out of my brain. Dear God.
RelativeVelocity
Almost looked it up. Changed my mind.
Robert Hanson's another really awful one
RainyBeans
A friends dad knew him. His dad said he knew something was up when he said "i like prostitutes cause noone cares when their missing"
That's a common thing with serial killers, I think. They don't view sex workers as people.
SeriousLackofSkiComedies
You saw Maryland, right? The fuck?

Until you get to the Carolinas, I am guessing you can pass anything off as BBQ to the north east coast.

But Wyoming has like the lowest population density of any state. Also the scariest place I've ever driven through.
Dudes classmates probably called him “Meth”
So you haven’t seen the picture....
smirt
Why was it so scary? I’ve been all over, seemed pretty normal to me.
I cannot answer this fully in 140 characters. Mostly my weird experiences were in Evanston, it gets weird stuff because it's a border town.
