Jeffrey Dahmer – Beaten to Death by Cell Inmate
Jeffrey Dahmer is regarded as one of America’s most horrific serial killers. Eventually, after pleading guilty to the charges of rape, murder, and dismemberment, he was subjected to rigorous 15 life sentences in 1992 but went on to serve only three years. Dahmer was, in fact, beaten to death by Christopher Scarver, a fellow inmate, on November 28, 1994.
His story is so horrifying and yet intriguing that it became the premise of a Netflix documentary series narrating the heinous crimes committed by a seemingly stoic fellow, “Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes,” and an Evan Peters-starred scripted series, “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
John Wayne Gacy – Executed by Lethal Injection
John Wayne Gacy was one of those notorious criminals who outwardly looked like a friendly man dressed up as “Pogo the Clown” or “Patches the Clown” while entertaining young children at parties; however, beneath the genial mask lay a horrifying truth. He was convicted of killing 33 young men and boys; no wonder he came to be known as “The Killer Clown.”
Violation, torture, and murder were some of the charges labeled against him. Gacy was eventually arrested and used the insanity plea card in court, hoping to get a not-guilty verdict. However, it did not work, and Gacy was executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994.
Ted Bundy – Sentenced in an Electric Chair
Who would think that a seemingly intelligent, charming, and articulate man named Ted Bundy would turn into a sadistic serial killer? Sources say that he started showing abnormal signs right at the time when he was a teenager living in Washington.
Bundy spread widespread terror during the ’70s when he kidnapped, violated, and murdered countless young women and girls. As body counts continued to rise, many people contacted the authorities about him being a possible matching suspect. He was finally caught and sentenced to death in an electric chair on January 24, 1989. Bundy confessed to around 30 murders between the years 1978 to 1978, spread around seven states.
