Why Is Ted Bundy The Most Nefarious

Serial Killer Of All Time. Essay, Research Paper

Thesis Statement: To prove that Ted Bundy is the most nefarious serial killer

of all time.

Pleasantly handsome, piercingly intelligent, he was a master

manipulator, a silver-tongued charmer who had the power to lure women to

their deaths and confuse police and the court system for nearly a decade. The

day before his death, Ted Bundy was choking back sobs, and said I don t

want to die, I kid you not, but I deserve, certainly, the most extreme

punishment society has. (Lamar, 1). Ted Bundy was laid to rest at the age

of 42 by the electric chair on January 24, 1989, from his earlier conviction of

kidnapping, and the murder of Kimberly Leach (Lamar, 2). The following

paragraphs will describe just what it takes to be a serial killer and the grading criteria it takes to be the most nefarious serial killer of all time. The following paragraphs will discuss the difference s between John Wayne Gacy Jr., Jeff Dahmer and Ted Bundy. This paper will prove that Ted Bundy is the most nefarious serial killer of all time.

A serial killer is generally a white male, between the ages of 21 to 43,

who are sexually dysfunctional and have low self-esteem. To be a serial

killer you have to have an elaborate fantasy that builds up, and then leads to

the killing sprees. In order to be considered a serial killer, the killer has to have murdered at least 10 people. Serial killers generally murder strangers

with cooling off periods between each crime. Many killers enjoy

cannibalism, necrophillia and keep trophy-like body parts as mementos of the

killers work. In order to find the most nefarious serial killer of all time,

grading criteria is required. The grading criteria of this paper is number of

murders, the method of murder and overall insanity.

Jeffrey Dahmer, a loner with a cleaned shaved appearance, preyed on

young men and boys in Milwaukee s inner city. Dahmer lured his victim s to

his apartment promising a good time or money. In his apartment Dahmer

would strangle or stab his victims, and then dismember his victims. Dahmer

admitted to eating a thigh, a calf and a heart from a victim. In other cases

Dahmer would have sex with the corpses (Saul, 2).

Dahmer s first victim was a 18 year old hitchhiker in Bath, Ohio in

1978. Psychiatrists who examined Dahmer said he was driven by

necrophilia, an erotic interest in corpses, and was partly motivated to kill by a fear that his acquaintances would ultimately reject him (Saul, 2). Near the

end of Dahmer series of killings, Dahmer lured a Laotian boy to his apartment

and attempted to turn him into a zombie by drilling a hole in his head and

pouring in a caustic liquid. The delirious, scantily dressed boy escaped and

roamed out into the street, rambling in his native language (Saul, 2).

When the police arrived at his apartment with the youth, Dahmer

invited them in, telling the police that the young Laotian boy was a willing

sexual partner earlier in the evening, so the police gave the boy back to

Dahmer. Dahmer later killed the Laotian boy. Dahmer was arrested in 1991

when a victim escaped, and notified the police. When they arrived to arrest

Dahmer, they found an empty apartment of food except for a bag of potato

chips and a victim s head in the refrigerator (Saul, 2). Millions of people

around the world were shocked as they watched on television as police

carried an 80-gallon kettle of victim s hands and genitalia. Dahmer also

stored victim s body parts in jars of formaldehyde (Saul, 2).

Dahmer admitted to killing his victims, but pleaded insanity. A jury

rejected the plea and he was sentenced to 16 consecutive life sentences. At

Dahmer s February, 1992, sentencing he said Frankly, I wanted death for

myself, I know I was sick or evil or both. Now I know I was (Jaeger, 1).

Jeffery Dahmer was beaten to death November 28, 1994 in Columbia

Correctional Institution in Portage, were he was serving his 16 consecutive

life sentences (Jaeger, 2).

Jeffery Dahmer s death toll was 16 young men and boys, he lied and

lured them into his apartment. Jeffery Dahmer was a very sick and twisted

man, he raped, and ate his victims and kept their body parts. Jeffery Dahmer

pleaded insansity, he knew he was sane, and just liked to kill people, but he

was not willing to admit that. Jeffery Dahmer is one of the most nefarious

serial killers of all time, but he is not number one.

A sharp business man, who owned a contracting company, loved to

host elaborate parties for friends and family and dressed up as a clown for the

children s entertainment. This man was known as John Wayne Gacy Jr.

a.k.a. the Clown Killer. Over a three year period John Wayne Gacy Jr. raped

and murder over 30 young boys, and the victims were later found under the

floorboards of Gacy s home (Bell, 34).

John Wayne Gacy Jr. had a troubled childhood, he was verbally
