What was the name of that guy who went to jail in the 70s for brutally raping a woman and cutting her arms off? He was released the 90s, and surprise surprise, he killed another woman.

He did? When? Site please! I’m very interested in this! I remember that story (though not his name, sorry:( ) if that sick sonovabitch hurt another woman he should be executed!  
Why the #$%@ was he released in the first place?:mad:

I’m pretty tough & hardcore, but the story of what that guy did to that girl makes me tremble!

Boy, what an ugly loser of a guy. How come violent serial killers are always so stupid-looking? Wouldn’t you just like to bust his nose?

He only served eight years for the rape and mutilation.

Good lord, when did vigilante mobs become a bad thing?

They say Ted Bundy had many female admirers, even while on trial for killing a few females in horrible ways.
