From the mid to late 1940's Atlanta cop and documented Klansman " Itchy Trigger Finger " Nash is a name that's in the Encyclopedia of Serial Killers who was never punished for his crimes or heard from again.

There's also charles Northcott of the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders.He's the one Clint Eastwood based the movie The Changeling about.
Another very obscure one is Jacob Kell who in around 1945 murdered several family members and then went on to murder others in and around Wenden ,Arizona.There is a website with some info on him. Local reports claim he was caught and hung by the town's people. They even made a movie called Jacob about him in around 2011,but have never seen it.
There was also a guy named Douglas Fearin who also in either New Mexico or Arizonia took a nursing student to an old adobe church way out in the country and tortured and killed her. Only details about her death that was ever made public was he bound her with red hot wires. Since he drove a delivery truck there is some thought maybe she wasn't the first,or at least the first woman he attacked.

It's always an open question in my mind whether Klansmen and their ilk count more as terrorists or serial killers. I take it you'd put him in the SK category? Or maybe would he fit in both?

I would never say a serial killer is underrated - they are all pieces of garbage and deserve no rating of any kind, except for being called what they are: cowards, losers, psychopaths, deviants, scum.

But if there is one single serial killer and serial violent offender who continues to remain unknown by most of America and who desperately needs to be identified, it is the Original Night Stalker.

You're right. Nash was basically a racist terrorist serial killer that hardly anybody has even heard of nationally, or Atlanta for that matter. If not for Stetson Kennedy he'd be a totally obscure individual.

In case you can't tell; I am most fascinated by the old serial killers in US history. From the 1700's to about 1920 or so.
