How can I report if I I have Information about possibly one of the murders
There really is no justice in this world when these monsters are all walking free among us. Karla Homolka particularly pisses me off because she never paid for her crimes and still was shameless enough to volunteer at a school after everything she did.
Yep. Pisses me off too. & don’t even get me started on Bernardo’s prison move.
16 years for possibly over 300 murders is insane. Get your shit together Equador!
agreed this is insane
Right
Prison for life should mean PRISON FOR LIFE! What is so hard to understand?!
damn bro I'm right here you don't have to be this loud
I’m literally discussing this with my buddy this right now how ridiculous this all is
The woman sitting on the plane next to Sobraj "The Serpent" is not okay. I wouldn't be either.
They free them while people who fight for human rights are rotting in jail
Come on
They don’t just put people in jail for protesting human rights unless they did some illegal shyt!!!
I grew up in MD during the 80s and 90s. The Freeway Phantom terrified me after an older cousin told me about it. They never talk about it on the news. No one cares he is still out there.
Serial killer nurse 👩⚕️ Cathy Wood should be on this list too, she was released from prison on January 16 2020.
No serial killer should ever see the outside world once they’ve been locked up.
Hit men are NOT serial killers. Being willing to kill for money is fundamentally different than killing because you receive innate gratification from killing
Hitmen, mass murderers, and nonsense conspiracy theories (e.g. the Smiley Face killers). Apparently they couldn't find enough serial killers to make up a full list. 🙄
3 or more.....yous a serial killer, bruh. Periodt.
@daisylavender5275 not according to literally any actual expert on criminal behavior. Serial killing is about motive, not numbers.
This might be the stupidest thing I have ever read. You can’t change the definition of serial killer to exclude contract killings bud lmfao
Are you acoustic?
Karla Homolka’s voice is much higher pitched than I’d imagined.
True Crime + Rebecca narrating= the best WatchMojo videos
Suck up.
Rebecca is the best!!!!!
@@donaldkennedy9573My favorite is Phoebe but Rebecca is iconic and always awesome 💯
Bootlicker😂😂
I think the Zodiac is dead.
It would make sense
I think the monster of Florence is dead, too. With this logic I'm surprised watchmojo didn't include Jack the ripper in this list.
@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety The Age of that Killer is Undetermined, but it's Likely that the Zodiac Killer is Dead.
I figure he's dead also
Without a doubt.
2:05 “Karen your dad’s a Rat” 😂… man I miss “Mob Wives”
Drita was right about that
I live in Vallejo,where the zodiac killer first began. And my parents said it was a creepy time to be in the area. Since you would never know if he was around or not due to no one knowing who he was. Or coming forward if they did.
@ 5:29 'The Good Nurse' is based on American serial killer Charles Cullen, NOT Norwegian Arnfinn Nesset.
The zodiac killer is probably in a retirement home, laughing his ass off in a rocking chair
Been dead for years.
@@GDAWG.do you have proof
The Justice system sucks. 🎉
Bot
Sometimes.
@@Slayde.WilsonWhy are you saying they are a bot? 😂 Do you think no human agrees that the justice system is broken so it must be a bot? Newsflash, the justice system sucks.
@@chaotic7cam a actual comment bot is the ones that have the nasty profile pics for example. There are some people who don't understand that and will defend those as well.
@@chaotic7camThanks for getting that. 🎉
New idea:
A movie about a serial killer who kills serial killers freed by the system.
Dexter
Dexter
The ones from the 70s are likely no longer with us (Zodiac, Doodler, and Freeway Phantom)
The funny thing is that the cops believe they KNOW who the Doodler is, but don't want to reveal who it is just in case the press writes a story and makes the guy run
If they're listed here, it's because they're probably still here. I mean, once desd, they no longer remain dangerous, ofc. 😅
The likelyhood is that you've sat next to or walked past a murderer more than once and didn't even know it. :P
That part!!
While she technically doesn't fit the definition of a serial killer (only two victims, not three), I would add Mary Bell to this list. After all, she did kill two kids around the same age as her, and she is walking free now under a different name.
RIP To All The Victims 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Those Criminals getting away with their Crimes and not Facing Proper Justice is the Sign that the Legal System doesn't give a SINGLE FUCK about the Victims and the Effects of that said Crime and/or Crimes.
And I am Disgusted!
I'm really curious about how you think capitalization works.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 Your Curious?
Allow me to Explain: it's meant to add Detail to what I say with a Level of Emphasis and Emotional Expression/Depth.
Or at Least that's how I put it.
And BTW I Love your sense of Curiosity!
@@SPAnComCat no, buddy, that's not how it works. If you want to add emphasis, you would capitalize the ENTIRE word. Capitalizing the first letter is for the beginning of a sentence or proper nouns, like names or cities.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 Right.

😮he does😂

This is really Scary knowing that these Serial Killers are Roaming Free along with us really unsettling, How do know they won't Kill again.😬
Over half of them are most likely dead or extremely old. The smiley face killers is a conspiracy theory, not even a real serial killer. And some of them are mass murderers or spree killers, which I realize still makes them killers, but they are different from serial killers in terms of their psychology and motivation. There's really only 2 or 3 people on this list to worry about. 😂
@@cassie1264 not to mention there's about 100 things that are more likely to kill you than a serial killer. It's still scary, somehow that seems like a worse death than dying in a car accident, or a disease, but statistically, there's a lot of things to be more worried about.
There are more psychopaths in this world than serial killers. All psychos don't kill. However, they can make your life less than desirable.
you have a better chance of getting wacked by a piece of fresh spinach, cantaloupe or some other kind of food
Who agrees that the law system protects bad people and not the innocent?
100 effing percent.
Including corrupt cops and some people in power
Those mechanisms are supposed to be there to protect the innocent from being convicted wrongly. However, it doesn't even protect them as many people have been incarcerated or executed because of corrupt police work.
The system protects the rich.
Sometimes, they especially did it with Karla and Gilbert Paul Jordon he had so many charges, murder, rape, kidnapping, indecent exposure, you name it! Yet he was released and never registered as a sex offender. Wicked and Grim did an incredible job covering these cases.
With Pedro Lopez, actually is pretty probable that he got killed because of retaliation by any of the locals of the countries he was
The 70s was a different time
😮 I used to work in Benicia, California. I would take the Lake Herman Rd route to get there. Whether in my car or on my motorcycle, I always got a weird super creepy feeling going around a specific corner. It turned out that that specific corner was the place of one of the Zodiac's spots that he murdered a couple; the male survived. ( I think it was the first one) It freaked me out so bad, when I figured that area out! 😮😳

If you kill someone you should never be able to be set free
killers running free,pedophiles,can do what they want,etc...the world is broke
I think it depends, if you're a teenager gang member and you're coerced into a hit, there is a chance of rehabilitation. Not a great chance, but it can and does happen. There's also self defense, crimes of passion, manslaughter, all sorts of other different circumstances. I generally agree with you, a stone cold killer probably can't be rehabilitated, and should be locked up permanently. But that isn't 100% of people who have killed someone.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 except people of color don't get to use the self defense act. It's really only for white people, which is disgustingly racist. White people don't go to jail for randomly killing someone just because they were in "their personal space" but, when someone is legitimately attacking a person of color they have no right to defend themselves. If they do, they will be seen as the aggressor and get charged and usually get either life or death. It's all complete bullshit! The self defense law is pretty much written so only white people can use it, which is horrible and racist.
@@Human-Equals-Garbage that's complete horse shit, black people convicted of the same crimes with the same priors actually serve less time on average, because of activist judges.
@@Human-Equals-Garbage that's just factually incorrect. You race baiters are insufferable, and a large contributer to the violent crime problems in the US.
I saw the Zodiac Killer coming as number one right away from reading the title
I’m not so sure the guy is still alive. The title is misleading
The Zodiac Killer shouldn’t even count since they were never caught.
@@kidz4p509 if he was never caught he is still free. Just as it is with the Doodler and the Highway of Tears killer.
@@kidz4p509 neither was the highway of tears killer technically. Yeah they caught one guy who had human blood in his car they believe was the killer but he was too young to be responsible for some of the older deaths/disappearances at the highway of tears making some think there was someone else
Then you got the Doodler who the only suspect wasn’t even convicted as three survivors refuse to testify so no one know they are gay. Understandable on the surviving victims part due to the hatred toward homosexuals but the Doodler still never was proven guilty or innocent in the eyes of the court.
Mass killings and serial killers are different.
I don't care how much you've changed, once you've take an innocent childs life, you should NEVER be released.. Even Prison is too good for them...
The Doodler sounds like he related to Diddy 😂😂😂
🤣
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I legit heard "the diddler," and had to rewind a couple times 😂
A lot of these murderers are familiar because of Bailey Sarian... I love Murder Mystery and Makeup Monday and Dark History. ❤
some places sure seem to go easy on killers when compared to others
I ❤ Watch Mojo Serial Killer vids 😊
i just watched a video a few weeks back about how the uk let out a crazy guy early who then went on a car chase ending in the death of a pedestrian, i think it was only hours apart. seeing that they let out even worse offenders, it now makes sense how that happened.
The thumbnail is Tom Cruise with a bad scientology costume
😂
Les Grossman before he hit the big time.
More reason to stay inside
Yeah, have fun living in fear
Night stalker, golden state killer, ted bundy, btk some of the serial killers that broke into their victims' homes.
@@americanzero who cares, with all the technology living inside was never easier
@@nexusserc I was being sarcastic
@@americanzero I’m having a fucking blast dude
20,000 dollars in reward is disrespectful to the victims
They want to capture hin so there are no more victims.
#1 should be Gustav the Nile crocodile, he's presumed dead, because there haven't been any reported sightings in years, but he was never caught.
Marybeth Tinning should also be on this list too.
Outside of Russia and other dictator countries. Mostly European country jail systems, along with Canada suck because of the short prison sentences.
Would have been nice to have more information on those whose whereabouts are known.
These monsters dont deserve to be free that's shocking and sad 💔
1:46 bruh that girl is FUCKING terrified
I was going to sleep now I'm not so sure I can 😢
I am sure a lot of nerds have already said this but, yall need to learn the difference between spree killers, killers, and serial killers. Forensically they are all distinct.
Interesting
DOODLER MENTION!!! i learned about this case roughly five years ago and i still check up on it every few months to see if any progress has been made on it
Actually most of the listed are not serial killers.
Serial killers are classified as killing 3 or more
@@alexbrown9697 unrelated victims at different locations at different times
@@alexbrown9697 killing 3 or more at one time is a mass murderer or spree killer
“a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern.”
By definition you’re wrong
@@100percentNotaBotMass murderers, hitmen, and spree killers are not, by definition, the same as serial killers.
2:45 “And now, of all things, runs a UA-cam channel!” 😮😮😮
7:27 for the crimes of the monster of Florence four people were tried, not two: in addition to Mario Vanni and Giancarlo Lotti, Giovanni Faggi was also tried and, above all, the main accused was Pietro Pacciani, who died before the end of the trial (he was declared innocent in the appeal process).
In recent years many theories have been put forward, but the most accredited (also supported by the Bicameral Anti-Mafia Parliamentary Commission of 2022) is that the accused were only "helpers" for the real serial killer, a well-known doctor in the area who apparently died in 1985 but who some say fled to South America
it's crazy how some people who are thieves spend more time in jail than serial killers xD it's the law
Watchmojo doesn't know the difference between a mass killer and a serial killer.
Killing 3 children does not a serial killer make.
“a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern.”
By definition you’re wrong
Charles just slapped that wig on straight out the box. Didn’t style it or nothin 😂
Some of these countries have ridiculously short sentences for such heinous crimes.
Mitchell Johnson, Golden and Mcgrivey arent serial killers. They're spree killers
THE DOODLER!
The Phantom Killer of Texarkana had never been caught or identified. An infamous case from the 1940's. Still an unknown serial killer. Long dead now, of course.
While it's true that Arnfinn Nesset is a free man, he currently lives under a new name and lives on a secret nursing home, which is a bit ironic considering what he was convicted for. He was actually in the news this week, and have made people talk about him, 40 years after the crimes.
This world is a joke. Just like morality. Criminals are better protected than the people whose lives they ruin.
Rip to the people who died 🙏
Wait so when exactly was the zodiac killer active mostly wasn’t it like in the 80s 70s? Oh my gosh, that is a bit freaky.
did he really kill over 100 women.
Im glad they did not archive her old younger voice from the top ten terrifying serial killer who are free right now, otherwise it would be another lazy edit
How you kill 5 ppl an only serve till you 21 wtf
America
A few on this list are not serial killers. Murderers and horrible people who should have been executed for their crimes? Yes. But, not serial killers.
It’s called homeless.
Some of these aren't even serial killers. A serial killer is defined as someone who kills multiple people with a cooldown (usually a few days) between each killing
I find the term "unhoused" a little odd. I've been homeless. To me that is a more accurate term, because being without a home means far more than not having housing. It's like "unhoused" minimises it abd dehumanises it. I'm sure others may feel differently though
So how is the phrase "un-housed" any different from "homeless"? The PC grows stronger here by the day.
It's not, and in a few years it will be deemed "offensive" and they'll find something new to call them.
It's just wordplay so they can pretend like they "care" more. And people who pretend like they care more than you really don't care at all. Otherwise they would be too busy actually caring to tell you how much they care.
Sobraj should be in prison for the crime that is that hairpiece
I wonder why, with all Americans know about serial killers, they don't seem to address the frightful conditions that CREATE them
Serial killers aren’t just an American thing. Yes we have more documented for a few reasons, American has been documenting for decades some countries haven’t. We have better funding and resources than some countries, we don’t attempt to hide the data some countries do, each country has its own definition of what qualities as a serial killer. Many factors, it’s not possible to know exactly what places have more with the vast difference between one country and another
Why does nobody talk about wayne nance montanas only confirmed serial killers although we have held trial for some killers in mt but wayne nance commited his killings in missoula mt known as the missoula mauler had some of the most brutal murders ever he was caught and killed being caught in the act by a victims husband who shot him in the back ive read the book about it it was good but Definitely disturbing please i suggest looking into it
I lived 2 blocks away from hisvold house
Norway equates(barely) 1 year of prison for a MURDER!? 😮
What a joke of "justice".
The dude who said he killed 300 people, 1 I call BS ON IT, BUT 2 if he did kill that many people in those areas, the locals would have cooked him alive by now.
There is no smiley face killer or gang of killers and mass murderers and hitmen are not serial killers.
A serial killer (also called a serial murderer) is a person who murders two or more people, with the killings taking place over a significant period of time. The serial killers' psychological gratification is the motivation for the killings, and many serial murders involve sexual contact with the victims at different points during the murder process. Salvatore “Sammy The Bull Gravano” killed people who in one way or another broke rules of Cosa Nostra, he didn’t take “souvenirs” from any of his victims nor did he sexually assault them in any way, therefore he IS NOT a serial killer! If we want to also talk serial killers what about Ray Kroc and Dave Thomas who’s fast food empires killed many people through obesity and heart disease
The Zodiac Killer shouldn’t even count since they were never caught.
So the guy killed 3 kids, for whatever reason, and he’s OUT.
WTF🤬
"Unhoused people"...Jesus...say homeless people so that listeners know what you're talking about.
The purpose of speech is to faciliate communication. Your PC BS does the opposite.
Keep me up at night pffft. I listen to them to sleep.
6:43
They committed a school shooting and actually got out of jail.😡
Unhomed people? Lol
Yeah im good in the house
Zodiac killer was a cop, and SFPD know who it is, they're just keeping quiet about it.. they probably handled it quietly because they didn't want the publicity of it.
I think and hope the people took care of Pedro Lopez.
I'll never understand the obsession with the Zodiac
Me Neither.
Yea he only killed a few people, and it's even dubious as to whether they were killed by the same person. Not trying to downplay anything, a few is still bad, but there are plenty of other killers with a higher count, and plenty of others that were never caught.
There is only one way to make sure they do not reoffend…
Is it van Schoor's fault he had to do his job as a security guard?
Leonardo dicaprio plays the one who draws people right? I seen that movie
Whoever is a fan of WatchMojo said like my ideas for them making a top gametoons villains video and with a Honorable mentions on the video also this is a video request of WatchMojo is look at the comments
3:58 commonly mistaken for the Diddler
Shame in you for presenting the smiley face thing likes there's any credibility to it. A smiley face is just a common symbol that gets drawn everywhere and if there's a smiley face drawn anywhere in the same city as a drowning occurred that's good enough for these guys.
If you would like to do more research, the smiley faces found with the bodies were found very close to the bodies. One specifically was a hung “thank you” bag with a smiley face on the tree, I believe, directly above the body. Basically, it wasn’t just graffiti. The killer(s) would purposefully put some kind of smiley face by a body. I understand the confusion tho.
I don’t think the smiley face killers are real
Video of serial killers has mitchell johnson on the thumbnail. What?
