The Russian serial Killer, The Red Ripper

The Russian serial Killer, The Red Ripper

Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo (October 16, 1936 – February 14, 1994)

This monster was allowed to commit his serial killings for over a decade due in large part to the fact that in the former soviet Union they had never entertained the concept of the serial killer. A sadistic killer known as the Red Ripper killer at least 53 women and children before he was captured.
Below you will read part of his long and bloody history. If you want the whole story you can find it in my ebook The Serial Killers Pure Evil volume one. His is the story of a man who should have been locked away for crimes during his younger days, but because he was not discovered then dozens would die horrible deaths later.

He was a Ukrainian-born Soviet serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov, The Red Ripper or The Rostov Ripper who murdered 52 women and children between 1978 and 1990. He was convicted of 52 murders in October 1992 (although he did confess to a total of 56 murders and was tried for 53 of these killings) and was executed for the murders for which he was convicted in February, 1994.
Chikatilo was known by such titles as The Rostov Ripper and the Butcher of Rostov due to the fact that a majority of his killings were committed in the Rostov Oblast of the Russian SFSR.

Early life

Andrei Chikatilo was conceived in the town of Yablochnoye (Yabluchne) in present day Sumy Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR. He was conceived not long after the starvation in Ukraine created by Joseph Stalin's constrained collectivization of farming. Ukrainian ranchers were compelled to turn in their whole yield for statewide appropriation. Mass starvation ran uncontrolled all through Ukraine, and reports of human flesh consumption took off. Chikatilo's mom, Anna, let him know that his older sibling Stepan had been grabbed and eaten  by starving neighbors, despite the fact that it has never been autonomously settled whether this really happened.

Chikatilo's guardians were both homestead workers who lived in an one-room hovel. As a kid, Chikatilo slept in a bed with his mother and father. He was a perpetual bed wetter and was censured and beaten by his mom for every offense.

At the point when the Soviet Union entered World War II, his dad, Roman, was drafted into the Red Army and there after taken prisoner after being injured in battle. During the war, Chikatilo saw an impacts' portion of Blitzkrieg, which both panicked and energized him. On one event, Chikatilo and his mom were compelled to watch their hovel burn to the ground. In 1943, while Chikatilo's dad was at the front, Chikatilo's mom brought forth an infant girl. In 1949, Chikatilo's dad, who had been freed by the Americans, returned home. Rather than being rewarded for his war efforts, he was marked a coward for surrendering to the Germans.

Modest and studious as a boy, Chikatilo was an energetic peruser of Communist writing. He was likewise an objective for harassing by his peers. During youth, he found that he suffered from imptence, this exacerbating his social awkwardness and self-loathing. Chikatilo was shy in the company of females: his first sexual experience as an adolescent was the point at which he, age 17, hopped on a 11-year-old companion of his little sister and wrestled her to the ground and discharging as the young girl struggled in his grip.

In 1953, Chikatilo completed school and appllied for a a acholarshipvat the Moscow State University; despite the fact that he passed the placement test, his grades were not good enough to be accepted. Somewhere around 1957 and 1960, Chikatilo performed his mandatory military service.



 
Marriage and educating vocation

In 1963, Chikatilo wedded a lady to whom he was presented by his more youthful sister. The couple had a child a girl. Chikatilo later said that his conjugal sex life was minimal and that, after his wife noted that he was not able to keep up an erection, he and his wife concurred that he would have to discharge by hand and push his semen inside her vagina with his fingers. In 1965, their girl Ludmila was conceived, trailed by a boy, Yuri,  in 1969. In 1971, Chikatilo finished a correspondence course in Russian writing and got his degree in the subject from Rostov University.

Chikatilo started his profession as a teacher of Russian dialect and writing in Novoshakhtinsk. His profession as an instructor finished in March 1981 after a few reports from children of both sexes that they had been molested by him. Chikatilo in the end took a job as a a supply representative for a manufacturing plant.

Starting the killings

In September 1978, Chikatilo moved to Shakhty, a little coal mining town close Rostov-on-Don, where he committed his first recorded murder. On December 22, he attracted a 9-year-old young lady named Yelena Zakotnova to an old house which he had secretly acquired; he tried to rape her, but was unable to get an erection. At the point when the child fought back, he strangled her to death and cut her body, discharging during the time spent cutting the girl. Chikatilo then dumped Zakotnova's body in an adjacent stream.

In spite of evidence connecting Chikatilo to the young lady's murder (spots of the young lady's blood were found in the snow close to Chikatilo's home and a witness had given police a definite depiction of a man nearly looking like Chikatilo who she had seen chatting with Zakotnova at the transport stop where the young lady was most recently seen alive), a 25-year-old named Alexsandr Kravchenko who, as an teen, had served a correctional facility sentence for the rape and murder of a high school girl, was captured for the murder and later confessed to the crime. He was tried for the homicide in 1979. At his trial, Kravchenko withdrew his admission and professed his innocents, expressing his admission had been acquired under compelling coercion. Notwithstanding his retraction, he was indicted for the murder and sentenced to 15 years' in prison (the greatest conceivable length of detainment around then). Under great pressure from the victims relatives, Kravchenko was retried and in the end executed for the homicide of Lena Zakotnova in July, 1983.

After Zakotnova's homicide, Chikatilo wasonly able accomplish sexual arousal and climax through stabbing and slashing of his victims and he later expressed that the urge to relive the experience of killing overwhelmed him.

Chikatilo committed his next homicide in September 1981, when he attempted to engage in sexual relations with a 17-year-old named Larisa Tkachenko in a backwoods close to the Don waterway. At the point when Chikatilo could not get an erection, he became enraged and battered and choked her to death. As he had no blade, he mangled her body with his teeth and a stick.

John Wayne Gacy The Killer Clown

John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994)

If you would like a free copy of my book in exchange for giving it a far review state in the comment box below that you would like to trade a review for a copy and I will send you a PDF version of the complete book.



 John Wayne Gacy - From The Serial Killers Pure Evil Volume One.


Gaci was an American serial killer. He was convicted and later executed for the rape and murder of 33 boys and young men between 1972 and his arrest in 1978, 27 of whom he buried in a crawl space under the floor of his house, while others were found in nearby rivers. He became notorious as the "Killer Clown" because of the many block parties he threw for his friends and neighbors, entertaining children in a clown suit and makeup, under the name of "Pogo the Clown".

Early life

John Wayne Gacy, Jr. was born in Chicago, Illinois, the second of three children, to John Wayne Gacy, Sr. (June 20, 1900 – December 25, 1965), a machinist, and Marion Elaine Robinson (May 4, 1908 – December 14, 1989). Cook County marriage records provide his mother's name as Marion E. Robertson.
He was of Polish and Danish heritage. He had a troubled relationship with his father, an alcoholic who abused him and called him a "sissy". He was close to his sisters and mother, who affectionately called him "Johnny".
When Gacy was 11, he was struck on the forehead by a swing. The resulting head trauma formed a blood clot in his brain that went unnoticed until he was 16, when he began to suffer blackouts. He was prescribed medication to dissolve the clot.
After attending four high schools, Gacy dropped out before completing his senior year and left his family, heading west. After running out of money in Las Vegas, Nevada, he worked long enough to earn money to travel back home to Chicago. Without returning to high school, he enrolled in and eventually graduated from Northwestern Business College.
A management trainee position with the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company followed shortly after graduation, and in 1964, Gacy was transferred to Springfield, Illinois. There he met coworker Marlynn Myers, and they married in September 1964. He became active in local Springfield organizations, joining the Jaycees and rising to vice-president of the Springfield chapter by 1965.
Marlynn's parents, who had purchased a group of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) franchises, offered Gacy a job as manager of a Waterloo, Iowa KFC, and the Gacy's moved there from Springfield.

Imprisonment, divorce, parole

The Gacy's settled in Waterloo and had two children, a son and a daughter. Gacy worked hard at his KFC franchise but still found time to again join the Jaycees.[13] Rumors of Gacy's homosexuality began to spread but did not stop him from being named "outstanding vice-president" of the Waterloo Jaycees in 1967.[14] However, there was a seamier side of Jaycee life in Waterloo, one that involved prostitution, pornography, and drugs, in which Gacy was deeply involved. Gacy was cheating on his wife regularly. At the same time, Gacy opened a "club" in his basement for the young boys of Waterloo, where he allowed them to drink alcohol and made sexual advances towards them.
Gacy's middle class idyll in Waterloo came crashing down in March 1968 when two Waterloo boys, aged 16 and 15, accused him of sexually assaulting them. Gacy professed his innocence and it appeared he might beat the charges, but in August of that year he hired another Waterloo youth to beat up one of his accusers. The youth was caught and confessed all, and Gacy was arrested. Before the year was out, he was convicted of sodomy and sentenced to 10 years in the Iowa State Penitentiary.
Gacy's imprisonment was rapidly followed by his wife's petition for divorce, which was final in 1969. He never saw his children again. During his incarceration, Gacy's father died from cirrhosis, on Christmas Day 1969. He was paroled in 1970, after serving 18 months. After Gacy was released, he moved back to Illinois to live with his mother. He successfully hid this criminal record until police began investigating him for his later murders.

Businessman and political activist

Gacy moved in with his mother and got a job as a chef in a Chicago restaurant. In 1971, with his mother's financial assistance, he bought a house at 8213 West Summerdale Avenue, in an unincorporated area of Norwood Park Township, Cook County, which is surrounded by the northwest side Chicago neighborhood of Norwood Park. The house had a four-foot deep crawl space under the floor.
On February 12, 1971, Gacy was charged with disorderly conduct; a teenaged boy claimed that Gacy picked him up and tried to force him into sex. The complaint was dropped when the boy did not appear in court. The Iowa Board of Parole did not learn of this, and Gacy was discharged from parole in October 1971.
On June 22, 1972, Gacy was arrested again and charged with battery after another young man said that Gacy flashed a sheriff's badge, lured him into Gacy's car, and forced him into sex. Again charges were dropped.
In June 1972, Gacy married Carole Hoff, an acquaintance from his teenage years. Hoff and her two daughters moved into the Summerdale Avenue house. In 1975, Gacy started his own business, PDM Contractors, a construction company. At the same time, his marriage began to deteriorate. The Gacy's' sex life came to a halt, and John Gacy would go out late and stay out all night. Carole Gacy found wallets with IDs from young men lying around. John Gacy began bringing gay pornography into the house. The Gacys divorced in March 1976.
Gacy became active in the local Democratic Party, first volunteering to clean the party offices. In 1975 and 1976, he served on the Norwood Park Township street lighting committee. He eventually earned the title of precinct captain. In this capacity, he met and was photographed with First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who was in town for the annual Polish Constitution Day Parade, held on May 6, 1978.
Gacy was directing the parade that year, for the third year in a row. Carter posed for pictures with Gacy and autographed the photo "To John Gacy. Best Wishes. Rosalynn Carter". In the picture, Gacy is wearing an "S" pin, indicating a person who has received special clearance by the United States Secret Service. During the search of Gacy's house after his arrest, this photo caused a major embarrassment to the Secret Service.

The Serial Killers Excerpt, Ed Gein The First American Psycho

This is an excerpt from my new ebook The Serial Killers volume one Pure Evil. This is from the chapter on the serial killer Ed Gein. He was the inspiration for the movie Psycho. Also Buffalo Bill in the Silence of the Lambs and Leatherface in the Chainsaw Massacre. This almost forgotten killer inspired some of the world's most famous movie villains and this is part of his story.

BIOGRAPHY:

Ed Gein’s family consisted of his parents, namely, George Gein and Augusta and his only sibling, his brother named Henry George Gein. George, his father was an alcoholic and never supportive. Augusta worked at her farm in Plainfield, where they soon started living.

The two brothers were always kept isolated and rarely had social interactions. They worked in the farm with their mother and she was the one who actually groomed them. Augusta had, from the very start, taught her boys that the world is a bad place, surrounded by evil beings and all females were prostitutes, symbols of the devil. She used to teach them the bible with more emphasis on the verses about death, murder and similar topics.

The two boys were being abused by their mother for being similar to their father, who according to her was a completely useless creature. Henry soon realized the wrong thoughts of his mother and tried to explain the same to Ed, being disturbed by his attachment to her. In 1940, George died of cardiac arrest and the two boys had to work to earn a living.

TRAGIC CLOSE DEATHS:

In 1944, due to an accidental fire Gein lost his brother. The police suspected it as a murder due to some odd proofs but soon the case was closed declaring asphyxiation as the cause of death. Soon after, in December 1945, Ed had to bear the pain of his mother’s demise which was due to strokes. This death was the life turner as Ed was left alone in this world.

TRANSFORMATION:

Edward had sealed all of the rooms of his house except the ground floor living room and the kitchen. Ed spent most of his time alone in the farmhouse reading about female anatomy and sexual practices. The Nazi camps’ human experiments attracted him too. Soon, he started the practice of digging out the dead bodies from the graves for experimentation.

The practice continued for long till the time when Gein started to change himself to turn into a woman. He made items from the body or skin that he later wore to feel like a female. He made a complete female costume of this sort.

Gein started craving for fresher samples and began to search for it. On December 8, 1954 Ed killed Mary Hogan, a lady who owned a tavern. The police couldn’t find out the cause and failed to solve the case. On November 16, 1957, Bernice Worden, Plainfield hardware store owner went missing when her son suspected Gein , as he was the one in the store that evening.

Serial Killers, Their Own Words

Once a serial killer is caught and convicted many of them open up about the murders that they have committed. Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez and countless others have done the same. They leave behind them chilling messages of insanity and hate.

“I love to kill people. I love watching them die. I would shoot them in the head and they would wiggle and squirm all over the place, and then just stop. Or I would cut them with a knife and
watch their faces turn real white. I love all that blood. I told one lady to give me all her money. She said no. So I cut her and pulled her eyes out.” Richard Ramirez.

These creatures, yes I call them that because their victims were all humans, but the same cannot be said for these soulless monsters, love the sound of their own voices and the attention that they receives for their crimes. Starting with this post I would like to include excerpts from my upcoming ebook The Serial Killers - Pure Evil. 

This is taken from the chapter on Richard Ramirez.

Early life

Ramirez may have been influenced into becoming a murderer by his cousin Mike, a Special Forces Vietnam War veteran who boasted of killing and torturing his Vietnamese enemies and showed him Polaroid pictures of his victims. Ramirez was present the night Mike shot and killed his wife, and her blood splattered on Ramirez's face.

Criminal career

On March 17, 1985, Ramirez attacked 22-year old Maria Hernandez outside her home. He shot her before entering her house. Inside was Dayle Okazaki, age 34, whom Ramirez immediately shot and killed. Hernandez survived. The bullet had ricocheted off the keys she held in her hands, as she lifted them to protect herself. Within an hour of killing Okazaki, Ramirez struck again in Monterey Park. He jumped 30-year-old Tsai-Lian Yu and pulled her out of her car onto the road. He shot her several times and fled. A policeman found her still breathing, but she died before the ambulance arrived. The two attacks occurring on the same day bolstered media attention, and in turn caused panic and fear among the public. The news media dubbed the attacker, who was described as having long curly hair, bulging eyes and wide-spaced rotting teeth, "The Walk-in Killer" and "The Valley Intruder".

On March 27, Ramirez shot Vincent Zazarra, age 64, and his wife Maxine, age 44. Mrs. Zazzara's body was mutilated with several stab wounds and a T-carving on her left breast, and her eyes were gouged out. The autopsy determined that the mutilations were postmortem. Ramirez left footprints in the flower beds, which the police photographed and cast. This was virtually the only evidence that the police had at the time. Bullets found at the scene were matched to those found at previous attacks, and the police realized a serial killer was on the loose. Vincent and Maxine's bodies were discovered in their Whittier home by their son, Peter.

By this time, a multi-county police investigation was in operation. The law enforcement agencies worked through the month of April with no additional attacks by Ramirez. Two months after killing the Zazzara couple, Ramirez attacked a Chinese couple, Harold Wu, age 66, who was shot in the head, and his wife, Jean Wu, age 63, was punched, bound, and then violently raped. For unknown reasons, Ramirez decided to let her live. Ramirez’s attacks were now in full throttle. He left behind more clues to his identity, and was named 'The Night Stalker' by the media. Survivors of his attacks provided the police with a description of a tall Hispanic and long dark haired man.

On May 29, 1985, Ramirez attacked Malvial Keller, 83, and her disabled sister, Blanche Wolfe, 80, beating each with a hammer. Ramirez attempted to rape Keller, but failed. Using lipstick, he drew pentagrams on Keller's thigh and on the wall in the bedroom. Blanche survived the attack. The next day, Ruth Wilson, 41, was bound, raped, and sodomized by Ramirez, while her 12-year old son was locked in a closet. Ramirez slashed Wilson once, and then bound her and her son together, and left.

Serial Killers are not Glamours

Because of a few popular films and tv shows serial killers have become the subjects of fan love. I am interested in the whys and hows of what they did, but I do not admire these vicious and evil men and women. They take human life. They do this without mercy to innocent people. 

Authur Shawcross

We are going to look at their lives and their crimes while always respecting those whom they victimized. 

Lets begin with a quote from Ted Bundy. "We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your childred dead tomorrow."

I want to introduce you to a serial killer that we will be getting to know in more detail in a future post and my upcoming ebook on serial killers.

The name of the man is Authur Shawcross. serial killer. Perhaps a cannibal and his number of know victims is 13. Also known as The Genesee River Strangler.

The Reality of Serial Killers

Despite what you have seen in some films and far too many television shows serial killers are not heroic figures. They do not sparkle and glitter like vampires in the movie Twillight. Serial killers are mean and nasty creatures that usually resemble actual human beings at the surface level only. You see what most of these evil men and women have in common is a total lack of the positive human emotions. 

 You don't understand me. You are not expected to. You are not capable of it. I am beyond your experience. - Richard Ramirez 

Serial killers are not driven by a need to impress you with their vocabulary or their cooking skills. Although some of them actually do have British accents and a few are attractive even by Hollywood standards.




Also we must understand that despite what the politically correct would want you be believe they come in all shapes, sizes, genders and races. The serial murderer could look like anyone at all. They range in age from teen to senior citizen. Some of them are ice cold killing machines while others hide a ragging kill machine behind eyes that are constantly searching for their next victim whom when found they will torture and brutalize before killing. 

I believe that the best line ever spoken by an onscreen serial killer is from the brutal film The Devil’s Rejects. “I am here to do the devil’s work.”
