So he started when he was 23 or younger? Damn.
I always wonder how many of these killers go their entire lives killing people carefully and never being caught. Judging by the way things go in other types of crimes - probably a lot more than are ever caught.
TOP. MEN. have decided that you don't need to know that at any given time, there's an estimated 16-20 prolific, active serial killers operating in the United States, and law enforcement has no clue who they are.
