I can’t think of any. If you try to have the worst imagination possible that you could possibley dream up for any sort of murder I can’t see someone coming up with a worse scenario than this guy. I’m not going to go through the details of what he did but even in my wildest imagination I can’t come up with anything worse he could have done, other than to have done it to more kids. The methods he used and his total lack of any remorse is astonishing. Those last days for the boy must have been unbearable and the girl had to witness it all, as well as participate in it. The details that keep coming out are nauseating and really stretch what I think the worst humans are capable of doing to others. Just the little lines from the videos are enough to shake me to the core.
I feel for the jurors and law enforcement teams that had to view those tapes and prepare the case.
So, now for opinions, has there ever been a more henious murderer? I’m not talking about someone who killed more people, but someone who dragged it out and enjoyed it as much as this guy?
Susan Smith and Andrea Yates. Imagine what type of person you must be to go against hundreds of thousands of years of ingrained maternal instinct to murder your own children. You have to override something that nature has built in to preserve us as a species in order to do what those women did.
Elizabeth Báthory is about as bad as you can get. In more modern times, its tough to compete with Colombian serial child killer Pedro López. He killed about 300 little girls, all aged 9 to 12. Charming fellow.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Fred & Rose West yet. They tortured, raped and killed at least 12 young women, one of which was his daughter - they buried her in the backyard, under the patio. They sexually and physically tortured all of their children, even offering them to other family members (Rose’s father) to abuse. There are still debates about the extent of Rose’s participation in the crimes, some accounts paint her as an abused victim herself, others say she was a sadistic mastermind. The wiki link gives a brief summary Fred West - Wikipedia
And Karla Homolka is now out of prison and recently had a baby. Considering her history of raping and killing her own sister as well as other innocent girls, one questions her ability to be a good mother…
I first learned of Delphine LaLaurie from these boards and I must say, I’ve never read a story that made me even half as nauseous. Although I will agree that everyone listed in this thread has a good helping of eternal damnation coming to them, if such a thing exists.
