Hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions. But I don’t really think he could be called a serial killer. But we’ve moved on to a new category so no biggie. If anyone cares:

1. Laura Prepon as Karla Homolka in _Karla_

4. Scott “Wide Right” Norwood

Integral part of Buffalo’s offence in the late 80s early 90s, surpassed OJ Simpson as their all-time leading scorer, took the Bills to multiple divisional and conference finals, and 2 Superbowls, but will always be remembered for that one kick.  
Honestly at 47 yards was at the limit of his range in a time where the NFL success rate for a kick that long was less than 50%. He had the distance but missed it by a foot wide right.  
He played for another season before being waived for Steve Christie.
