20 years for each of six murders adds up to 120 years. He has only been convicted of six murders so far but has been charged with 26...There wasn't enough evidence on the other 30 or so he killed to charge him. A lot of the evidence was found by sifting through pig manure for teeth and undigested bones then matching the dna with family members.

Personally I think he should be fed to his own pigs.

Many of these hogs were made into sausage and sold to the public.

Ewwwwww! I think that trumps Dahmer! Gross. Serial killers are fascinating when you try to get inside their heads. Don't understand how they can just kill with no remorse!

33% or something like that of serial killers are black males.
But you don't hear about them in the news. Black male criminals are often depicted as thugs, robbers, gangsters and at the most double murderers. Rarely as serial killers.
