The Top Ten

1
Charles Manson
It doesn't make him a serial killer # 1! He didn't do it he might have planned it but didn't do it like you plan to fix a car but you pay the mechanic to do it he doesn't pay U. So the shooter should be #1!
He didn't really kill anybody. He wasn't really a killer actually. He was more of a manipulative kind of guy.
It's hard to say what makes a person a top serial killer, but if you have to pick one, I'd say the most famous of the bunch is a safe bet.

2Ted Bundy

My teacher was actually kidnapped by ted bundy. He pulled up in a nice car and asked her if she needed a ride some where.

Probably the last person you would've thought was a serial killer.

Killed a lot of innocent woman, nobody knows the exact number...

Known as the Lady Killer


3Jeffrey Dahmer
I did a a lot of research on this man and he did some of the most gruesome and horide things that you could do to another human he was truely very sick
Ik he is a sick twisted guy ever
He was the most gruesome murderer in recent history. He was much more dangerous than Charles Manson. IN my opinion Jeffery Dahmer is the most notorious serial killer in all of the 20th century.

4Richard Ramirez
Ramirez is the most dangerous killer of all time because he didn't lure his victims to there death ( like Dahmer) he broke into the houses of his victims at night raped and then killed the women after offing the men as soon as he got in there bedroom.
The Night Stalker was one of the most demonic serial killers in America.

Worships the Devil

5The Zodiac Killer

He was unknown. Even decades after killing they are still trying to figure out who he is. (Killed mostly in San Francisco


6H.H. Holmes
