Charles Ng | Photos | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderers
I saw this one on 20/20. The guy Lake and Ng would kidnap a family, then kill the father and child, then enslave the wife as a sex slave before finally killing her months later. It had to have been as bad as it could get having to endure being a slave to the men that killed your family. Ng should have been tortured for the rest of his life. Lake snaked out by taking cynide.

I agree. The scariest part is everyone who knew him had no idea. Most couldn't believe it when he was arrested.

The Black Widow.

For me, I fully expect a man to be the serial killer.

On the contrary, when a women does the killing, I am shocked. I normally let my guard down, I see women as loving and caring human beings. Not knowing, that my coffee has been tainted or whatever. That is scary because of the trust that I place on women.

There are a lot less women killers than men and when women kill they make very fascinating case studies. They usually use poison to do the deed. Women usually kill for motives like profit. I know Aileen Wuornos was regarded as a serial killer and by the definition she was but women lack that sexual sadism aspect to their murders. Men definitely are no. 1 as far as serial killing goes and far more scary.

He was sent to a mental hospital and not a prison. But he was a body snatcher. Went to graveyards and dug up bodies that he took home and made stuff out of their body parts, like lamp shades of their skin etc.

He killed mainly because he didn't want to be alone and I don't think he was into gratuitous torture.

I concur NoJiveMan.

Dahmer was apparently pickling and marinating some of the body parts for later meals. That's just downright creep and gross.
