Inspiration

Pop culture has found a way to glamorize notable serial killers. You may have heard of the vile actions of those such as Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Aileen Wournos, and countless others based on the cinematic reenactment of their egregious crimes. But there are far more instances of serial killers that have yet to be romanticized. I was able to gather data from other sinister examples of violent killing rampages throughout history in the United States.
