I don't know if I'd call him a serial killer particularly, but there's also Wesley Dodd who molested and brutally killed children.
Yeah, he's on the link I posted...there's some real prize individuals on that list.
And like Clark Fork Fantast said, the area does seem to attract more than it's share. It breaks my heart as it is a beautiful area with a lot of great people.
I've heard some speculate it's because it is an area where you can truly be alone and be left alone and have a whoooooole lot of empty to do...whatever. And that seems to attract some of the wrong folks.
The only one I can think of is the truck driver who was 28 years old. He admitted to the murders of over 12 women in several states. His name was John Williams.
We have a lot of different murders though.
I guess Tim McVeigh is considered a mass murder, not a serial.
I live in the same town as the lady who kidnapped and cut open a pregnant lady and took her baby.
The post office massacre in Edmond, Oklahoma whose name was Pat Sherrill. He killed 14 people in the post office before killing himself
I read several books about serial killers, Jerry Brudos, Green River Killer, Ted Bundy story, et. al.
Joseph Roy "Tiny" Metheny-killed 7, 5 in one day-convicted of killing two prostitutes, cutting them up, fed them to the public by mixing their remains into his pit beef where he owned a side road stand. Baltimore, MD.
His sentence was death but overturned to LWOP when they could not prove he "robbed them" by taking money from the dead girls. He sits @ Western Maryland Correctional facility in Cumberland, Maryland.
Jerome Brudos, serial sex killer in the 60's, of Salem, Oregon. Ann Rule wrote a very good book about him. He was a sick bastard but I wouldn't call him insane ~ just evil, knew exactly what he was doing.
Ward Weaver of Portland murdered two teenage girls earlier in the decade, and either raped or tried to rape his son's girlfriend.
The Greenriver Killer (Gary Ridgway), murdered around 50 women from Portland to Seattle; however, I can't remember if he was actually an Oregonian. I assume he had to at least live here awhile.
Ted Bundy.
When I attended Oregon State Police Acadamy in the early 70's Jerome Brudos case was one of the cases we studied in detail. We learned how the evidence was collected and how it pointed to him. Very interesting case. He played cat and mouse games with the investigators and thought he was too smart to get caught. He did some gruesome things to his victims. Makes me shudder to even think about it. That is just one of the reasons I beleive in a CCW.
