The fact he was only discovered due to his own confession and that there wasn't a hint of suspicion around him is sobering and probably an indication of how ingratiated he had become with the local police
@@lilchaos4792 eh. Maybe. He peobably would've been questioned but he has such a good relationship with everyone and he's a very smart guy. He could talk his way out of it
He gave himself up only 3 days after he murdered his mother, because he knew he would get caught. He didn't do it out of remorse or skillfulness. It was already over and he knew it, that is why it only took him 3 days. He wanted to do it before the police actually catch him, which would have been inevitable.
@@musicalcohol Getting caught is a whole different thing than being identified as a serial killer. He would've been identified and probably caught but it wasn't a given. Police at the time didn't even co-ordinate among themselves. According to him, his will to kill had been nullified. He was able to talk to young women like a normal person does. He realised killing his mother had been kind of a watershed moment for him. So, he decided to turn himself in. Of course, I don't believe him completely but that's what he said and did. I don't see a reason why he lied because he had been a model prisoner and was even sent to some reform institution where he taught people computer science? I'm not sure what he taught but it was something along the same lines.
I can't even imagine the terror that these poor girls felt once they realized they weren't safe. Being trapped with anyone is scary let alone an almost 300 pound 6'9 man. I hope and pray those girls are at peace and are being taken care of. Absolutely heart breaking.
The basement his mother locked him in wasn't just a door and a flight of stairs. It was a trap door in the floor of the kitchen that was under the kitchen table. Imagine doing that to a child night after night, holy shit.
@Dr Benway M.D She had him locked up by the time he was 15. He got too big for her to handle. She had to protect his sisters. What's a mother to do?🔑Throw away the key😨
@@evr134 he started doing that after she began locking him and being aggressive... in another interview he said that she was so aggressive as a person, she mistreated his dad, his only friend or at least the only nice person who was arround..
Kemper is the scariest serial killer, I think. Incredibly intelligent, physically powerful, completely self-aware of the horrific nature of his desires but psychopathic and narcissistic enough to be emotionally detached from his crimes.
@@hlowrylong why are you romanticizing them? they would’ve shown u no mercy, think abt the victims as well, incredibly disrespectful and this is coming from someone under 18.
What truly intrigues and scares the hell out of me is, I’ve seen Kemper interviewed and he comes across as a big lug. Friendly, articulate and intelligent. I think it’s that disarming first impression that made/makes him so dangerous. I’m certain he knows and used that to his sociopathic advantage. My heart goes out to the families he destroyed. When a parent loses a child, that pain remains for life.
Yes, I saw clips from an interview at the channel The behaviour panel here at YT. And he has a way a bit like JW Gacy, appear as a guy who'd be a likeable and somewhat humoristic co-worker or a neighbour. And I think that is the scary, not like someone like Ramirez, who you would avoid.
It's not a disarming personality. He was social around guys and posed no threats to guys because guys didn't do anything wrong to him. His contempt for the way his mother punished and yelled at him traumatized him to the point to where his mental instability warped her treatment to him as a need to completely dominate and control them. In his mind, the best way to do that was making them a corpse first.
@@diinferi7485 I was aware of his mother’s awful treatment, the context, as you explained it, makes sense. Let me rephrase that! It’s actually crazy but it makes sense considering his psychological problems.
Why would you be surprised? Plenty of these guys are charming, personable. That's how they're able to have so many victims. Of course you have people like Ramirez and BTK that just blitz attack.

It’s not- mine happened in either 1993 or 1994 and they had keeper by then but when I first heard his voice- I was right back in that car like it was yesterday. Hadn’t thought about it probably the week since it happened almost 30 years ago.
I am a 70 year woman that hitch hiked across the country east to west, north to south many times in the early 70's. I shudder now. I never had one bit of trouble and I thank God and my Guardian Angel(s) often. I call my Angel plural because I'm sure I wore a few of them out. Thank you all. I was hiking in Atlanta in 1972 and was picked up by a plain clothes homicide cop...BIG lecture. He took me to police HQ and showed me 8×10 glossies of murder victims and made me promise to stop it. I didn't but he sure tried. We went on to date for a couple of years and remained friends for a long time. Good guy. I am so happy we never see hitch hikers in this day and age, but I am sorry that the world has gone so off it's rails. God bless all who are reading this. Take care, friend.
As a non American it does seem that the west coast , California up to and including the PNW and Alaska ,was a serial killers dream and incredibly dangerous, especially for women
The 70s were truly the time to be a serial killer. Dahmer, Bundy, Kemper, and numerous others I can’t recall. Wild West of the entire country. Holy shit.

detective thinks he killed his mother to spare her the embarrassment of finding out what he had done, I think he killed her because he thought he was going to lose his opportunity to do it.
He killed his mother because he realized the victims were surrogates. She was the object of his rage. Not the co-eds they were just connected enough to his mother to satisfy him. Hes talked about it in interviews before.
Who knows why he did it. May be he was tellin the truth or maybe he was just feeding them what they wanted to hear. He was good at reading other people in that aspect.
Edmund Kemper has always struck me as one of the most terrifying serial killers. He is highly intelligent, a giant of a man, and carefully but innocuously plotted his evil deeds. What confuses me though is that he showed extremely strange behaviour from a really young age: At 9 years old, he decapitated dolls belonging to his sister; At 10, he stated that to kiss his teacher, he would have to first kill her; He then started torturing and dismembering animals; As a young teenager, his mother locked him up in the basement, fearing that Ed would sexually abuse his sisters; At 15 he murders his Grandparents???? Spends 5 years with hardened criminals in a mental institution. And then at 20, he is RELEASED, and they warned the youth authorities NOT to send him back to his mother, and yet they did exactly that. It’s actually a series of disasters that Ed Kemper was allowed to rejoin a normal society! Seriously, HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN??????????
My brain at 230 am "hmm we should probably try get some sleep" Also my brain "We should keep binging serial killer documentaries instead." Edit: thanks for the likes 😊 nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks like this!
The amazing thing about this story is how incompetent and destructive the police and other institutions are. The killer was literally right in front of them.
Understand that the best argument whens in court rather then the truth. Understand how Ted Kaczynski was caught while watching the narrative that law enforcement tried to spin. Seeing how the Zodiac killer was handled & never caught. I also believe our justice system to be nothing more then a PR firm & lip service.
Our legal system is nothing more a then a form of Tax...Speeding tickets...No current tags on your car,plus court cost that can be as much as 300 bucks for something as simple as doing 40 mph in a 35 mph zone ...It's a racket...I'm not a fan of DUI drivers, but one single DUI can cost the driver well over 2,000 dollars
Thank you. So uncomfortable how they talk about his "extraordinary" and how he is a 6' 9" "gentle giant". Also the comment about how he must feel as disgusted by his crimes as the rest of us. Nah he was proud. Total POS.
They say that because that’s how they perceive most of these guys. Think of Gacey, Dahmer, Bundy, all those guys were nice enough guys. They they turn out to be killers.
One way of looking at his surrender is as an act of self-aggrandizement. He controlled when he killed, and he controlled when he was caught. It's very characteristic of the narcissist to control absolutely everything. In controlling his capture he was able to put another feather in his cap, so to speak. "Look at me! I'm smarter than everyone. The only one who could catch me, is me."
Kemper believed most of his life that he was stupid...believing his mother who told him so frequently. It wasn't until after his apprehension that his IQ was tested. He tested at a genius level but was unaware of it till then.
He wasn't smart at all. The single most ridiculous and unacceptable decision by this justice system was that he was released AFTER MURDERING HIS GRANDPARENTS IN COLD BLOOD. This mental nutjob NEVER should have been out on the fucking streets. This is ridiculous. The blood of these murdered women are squarely on the court and criminal psychiatrists. This was a travesty!!! I don't care if he passed all of his multiple choice mood quizzes. "So you're mentally healthier huh, Ed? Well good, maybe you'll be able to better handle living in this mental institution for the rest of your life because you are not leaving, under ANY circumstances. I don't care if you win the Nobel Peace Prize, you are stuck here for the rest of your life."
Haha...the first time he called to confess the cops just laughed at him,when they finnally listened he was expecting a grand manhunt but got dissapoint and got bored so he turned himself.
@@ZombieMiezz nah, he’s just a jobless 25 year old living off of Unemployment and his moms cooking. He’s got too much time on his hangs and probably spends it watching MSNBC and getting spoon fed BS all day.

There is a vastly higher number of kids who have this childhood that live productive lives that benefit society than not. Psychopathy is literally a deficiency in the brain and it seems to be from birth as far as I've read.

"Maybe he was killing his mother all along" - that phrase is so true! Probably the only person in this world he had a valid reason to hurt was his mother. Not those poor girls.
Bear in mind that accounts of how bad his mom was comes from Kemper himself. The man is a grade-A liar and manipulator so I'd be careful to take his words seriously.
@@rubydancer4241 Kemper never outright blamed his mother for his murders he was very conscious of his actions and never placed the fault at anyone. Parents are often blamed because most serial killers have a terrible childhood for instance Gacy had a terrible father and Ed Gein had a terrible mother or little Mary who had possibly the hardest life of any serial killer. Ed and Mary never blamed their mothers for their murders in fact Ed loved his mother more then anything. Kemper was very upfront with what happened there's no reason to lie about the emotional abuse he possibly suffered if he never blamed his mother for anything plus his mother still had no right to treat her son terribly by locking him under a trap door or calling him terrible names or the torture from his sisters as well. Plus his father confirmed how terrible his mother was
Kemper has stated in interviews that he often searched for victims after having arguments with his mother and that she refused to introduce him to women attending the university where she worked. He recalled: "She would say, 'You're just like your father. You don't deserve to get to know them'."
@@JeanneMadsen I think I can imagine that because I'm 195cm and 105kg and I have a classmate (girl) who is 163cm and around 65kg or something like that
Grannvale Flame Emperor 70 kg isn’t overweight. Unless you are 150-160 cm but it depends on the built of the person. If you are almost 170 cm, 70 kg won’t make you overweight only not skinny. I have friends with 164 cm and 72 kg and she is not overweight when you look at her. Voluptous.
I can't imagine this as I am 49, from the UK and I can't relat to cm's and kilos. However, thankfully the US still talk in my language. I prefer stones to lbs though for guaging a person's weight.
The thing of it is, Ed knew how to manipulate and put on the "gentle giant" act. There was no true intention to be a better person. He was also in a mission to make a name for himself in any way he could. He's obviously got something severely wrong with him but he was also smart. Those 2 combined and you got a recipe for an evil monster
@@kenben6240 Yes, it was an act. He isn't a gentle giant. He's a manipulative killer that deceives simple minded people. His intelligence is insane if you watch an interview with him. You really need to be able to detach yourself from any compassion if you watch an interview because its so easy to be sucked in by how good of an actor he is.
@Lebo leigh Leigh the fact that you would write this on a story like this one proves you and this killer might have quite a bit in common. he had the doctors notes of various crimes and you had this video. ugh.
i mean, "should" is a tricky word because it carries with it subjective thought. if i was king of the world, there would be a lot more criminals weighted and dumped in the ocean because i don't understand what i consider the futility of it all concerning violent criminals and the way they are handled in the West. however, he was fifteen and it was decades ago so no, he shouldn't be locked up forever.

@@Raison_d-etre while Ted Bundy tried to blame pornography, just to justify his deeds. Ed was aware of what he did and one might say own it. If I’m not mistaken (I just started watching) during his trial when asked about the punishment he said that what he has done it should be death, but the state change the law and death penalty was no longer an option.
I'm SICK TO DEATH of murderers whining about their childhood. I grew up in one of the WORST childhood homes imaginable. But I don't consider killing people or animals.
A lot of times it's the upbringing of someone with mental illness though. Some may have a bad childhood but no mental illness, vice versa. I have mental illnesses but I don't think about killing anyone either, but I also didn't have a bad childhood. The combination of both can cause one to murder.
Why is it so hard for so many people to accept that people's behaviors are factors of both genetic and epigentic factors? Why are so many people it has to be either nature OR nurture and not both?
A psychiatrist told me that the factors involved in behavior development are nature, nurture, environment and “we don’t know”. I think the “I don’t know” has to do with how the individual ties the factors together. He was a child psychiatrist for years and he told me that he was unable to determine which children would turn out well and which ones wouldn’t.
@@shadrach6299Wow, thanks for this comment. I haven't heard that 'factor' mentioned much. THIS, I believe, is the part that is almost impossible for people to come to terms with. It is just too unsure, too scare and abstract for people to reconcile and live with. Then our own children or loved ones - or we - could do this.
Just think of how much time , effort and the rest has to go into detective work for things like this , the guy was smart as often are most serial killers , how do you think they get away with it for so long even with full police teams working on cases 24/7 ... not to mention this is a documentary dumbed down , it would take a whole week if they went into every tiny detail .
@@johnnyflannigan136 juvenile records don’t get expunged as they say trust me. I got 30 priors as a juvenile and I hear about it every time I go to court.. I’m 24 now
The saying," you teach children how to treat you when they get older", this stands true for the majority of these serial killers, they've suffered horrible abuse.
@fundudehere1 no excuse for a dog being violent either but I'm willing to bet if you beat your dog it would probably start biting you. So maybe don't abuse your kids, or pets. Or anyone for that matter.
There’s a lot of abused children who do not commit any crimes or act cruelly towards other people. It’s all in how the person interprets what happens to them and how they react to it later in life
I would've kept a closer eye on him after he killed his grandparents at the age of 15. That's not typical behavior in 10th grade, at least a little less common than sneaking out at night to get drunk with your buddies. 🤔 Some would say it was a red flag.
Kevin Worrell thanks to California having lax laws for minors back then was to blame. Politicians are to blame for him getting a slap on the wrist for KILLING HIS GRANDPARENTS!!
Why? he just killed his grandfathers, no big deal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cops as cunning as ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they actually love this kind of guy, but woe into you if you are innocent, they will never stop till they find the way to accuse you of something. Disturbing.
@@johnmonk66 murder is murder when the state says its murder, intentional killing by one acting under the imprimatur of a state is definitionally not murder--it doesn't make it any less morally reprehensible because its done in the name of the state. my point here is that these cops are incompetent as were the cops in Dahmer's case when they returned his 14 year old victim to him..
moral of the story. the law won't protect you. Instead, they will make a psychiatric patient their assistant and let them out as "cured" to commit more crimes. wow.
Moral of story is don't go around killing people.I notice you folks (those of the Caucasian persuasion when it's one of yours as it is often) like doing this sh*t of blaming the victim. Hitchhiking in those days was pretty safe.
I watched a documentary about identical triplets who were separated at birth. Each were raised in completely different ways yet in their teenage years all three spent time in a psychiatric hospital. That proved to me that you're sometimes born with these pre existing conditions that could turn you into a killer...
This is true they ask for family history of mental disorders in case of evaluation of mental health , especially suicide and schizophrenia does run in some families
I think it’s very fascinating that he blew up when faced with a female asking him questions. It just makes me wonder, if more women had interviewed him or psych evaluated him, maybe he wouldn’t have been able to pull off that he was so normal, or “cured” after killing his grandparents. I wonder if any of the psychiatrists at the hospital he was held in were women.
There actually have been multiple female psychs on his case over the years; as time went on his apprehensiveness and hostility towards women pretty much vanished. Notice how the one female psych they did interview was one of the later ones; she displayed the same niceness towards his case as the men. It's not just gender; it's experience with him. He's rather asocial as it is, has never been treated great by his female family members, picture an incel talking to a girl right as he's getting out of the incel phase. He's still gonna come off apprehensive and nihilistic. Kemper is not used to women much. He's only been evil to them. He's trying to make the best of his situation, but it's not like he's had to apply his social skills to females much yet. It is a bit different, especially if you're asocial and used to dudes. He has also been apprehensive to male psychologists, though he's much more used to dealing with men, to the point you can't help but respect his approach in the iconic "panic button interview" where displayed a particularly calm and tactical use of intimidation, after around an hour of personal and dark questions that intimidated the interviewer. I'm pretty sure it's the oldest gentleman you see in this documentary, the man speaking at around 21:14.
@kinG iZZy Um, they don't display empathy towards his actions. In reality, the man has been very forthright and forthcoming; the image drawn by the investigators is pretty much the same one you would draw after looking deep into this case. He at least deserves the gratitude of an honorable portayal of his actions. It's the least they could do after he described the murders in detail with a heavy, emotional manner through the years, helped them find all the bodies he killed, has never committed a violent crime in prison, nor acted in a truly unlikable manner while in prison, helping inmates, those outside the prison walls, and even himself come to terms with their punishments and make the best of it. The man is the definition of vilified, however you might see it.
I have a very difficult time understanding why after killing his grandparents was he allowed out of any institution. That is not like punching someone. He buried a cat alive! What would make anyone think he was o.k. after 5 years? There is no way he could ever be o.k. never. I am not a psychologist and I know that. Wow someone really dropped the ball on this guy.
He was on the janitorial staff and had access to the room where they keep the psych tests. He memorized all of them. He was a super friendly guy, very smart, and then he aced multiple exams.
@raysfan9172 He was a minor of 15 when he killed his grandparents - juveniles don't get kept in for life so of course he got discharged from hospital. He probably didn't admit to burying the cat alive until after his second arrest.

@Aaron James I never said that about any serial killer, but by him it's known that he had a very high IQ. He even talked his way out of prison to kill a whole bunch more and played the police for years. I don't know anyone who did something similar. Good day to you.
Easy. The cars back then were made differently than they are today. The handles may have been the kind to open only pulling up or down hence blocking the handle from unlocking/unclicking open. Just like today's cars have the different inside door locks without the rounded piece on top of the door lock. I can see the Chapstick working on those older late 60's to early. 70's vehicles. ✌
The old cars had handles on the inside that you had to pull out to open. By putting a chapstick in the gap, the pivot end of the handle was not able to go back and therefore the door wouldn't open.
When i worked at Atascadero State Hospital, in the 2000's, we NEVER let Sexually Violent Predators be involved in "treatment" of other patients, as they did when Atascadero State Hospital allowed Kemper as a patient. That is horrific! Good God, we would have NEVER LET A PATIENT be involved in patient care. IQ is not a quantification of your ability to recover from your monstrosity. When i worked at Atascadero State Hospital we had several "high IQ" Patients who were monstrous Sexually Violent Predators and Serial Killers. IQ is not a guarantee of either recovery or the ability to process. Kemper was sick.
Don’t know whether it’s true or not, but saw a crime show about Ed Kemper that said, when all this stared happening, that the university issued warnings about accepting rides from strangers, they advised if young women were going to hitchhike, then they should only accept rides with people that had university parking stickers on their car.
One of the craziest things about Kemper is that he could have gotten away for a much longer period of time. There was a part of him that seemed to wrestle with himself, that wanted to do the right thing. It was like his conscience was keeping him awake. I don't think any other serial killer that I'm aware of has ever turned on himself and his base desires to try to keep society safe from him. Many have gotten sloppy over time, and BTK's desire to reveal details about his crimes to authorities accidentally showed too much information about himself, too, but they didn't necessarily want to get caught. Kemper did. I'm very grateful that he did. He will always be a bit of an enigma.
I don't think he wanted to turn himself in... he thought he made a mistake by murdering his mother because he thought he had been discovered, and he murdered her in a disorderly way and he knew they were going to catch him for that. The man does not regret anything, for him they were not women, they were objects.
@royal24 It's probably for the same reason why people love horror movies. We want to learn about them, being repelled by them, as a means to understand what depravity can lead to.
Serial killers are just a symptom of a sick, sick society. Consider that serial killers as we know them were quite rare before 1870. It wasn't until 1970 that the FBI even recognized that they existed and that's when they invented the term "serial killer". Since 1870, the number of detected serial killers has increased decade by decade until today, See the 1983 FBI film "No Apparent Motive" here on YT. There you will hear FBI profilers tell you that the number of serial killers exploded around 1950. In that film, you'll hear about the then new FBI VICAP system which was intended to track serial killers but it has had only limited success since then. Focusing on individual serial killers, even as the "experts" still do today, will never yield the answer to what serial killers are really all about because they are a symptom of an increasingly sick society. Otherwise, why didn't they exist before 1870 ? Is it the case that "evil" individuals just started appearing around 1870 and have increased in number since then ? There are definitely societal reasons why serial killers exist, but no one wants to look at that because it would tarnish the reputation of the glorious Industrial Revolution and all the wonderful inventions and money that it has generated. As far as I can see, serial killers are an unintended negative side effect of the Industrial Revolution and no one is going to come to grips with this problem until our society admits that. Consider also that serial killers happen more in some countries than in others with the USA leading the pack with 58% all serial killers in history being detected there. Are we to assume that more "evil" individuals reside in the USA, or is it the case that the USA is the sickest society, hence the society where most serial killers have appeared. But as long as people childishly conceive of serial killers as "the Evil Bogeyman hiding beneath your bed" a real scientific understanding of serial killers and the sick society that spawns them will never commence. ... jkulik919@dmail.com

God, it deleted my comment. Well, look. In this case. In a sick way. The system did make one into the other. For two people even. If you watch the 1992 interview tapes Kemper goes into detail about dicking with Herbert Mullin in prison. They harshly disliked each other, and in the end, their relationship was benevolent. Kemper helped Mullin come to terms with his killings while they were locked up together (they weren't supposed to be) and even helped change Mullins perspective for the better in the same way Kemper found better purpose in prison.

pvst humvn no, I’m talking to you like you think you’re smarter and more attentive that everyone else. Just stop. Auras and dog don’t catch serial killers. 😂
@@williamsullivan3702 Because he most likely wasn’t a true sociopath/psychopath. He realized that the women he had killed were stand-ins and practice for his mother. Once he was able to kill his mother he had fulfilled the bloodlust that had built inside of him for so long. He knew he deserved to be punished for his crimes and this means that on some level he did feel some remorse. This theory could be further supported by how he helped the police try to profile other serial killers while in prison. Probably in an attempt to atone for his sins.
@@Sam-nz3vj I would agree with you. People seem to be under the impression that all serial killers are psychopaths, but there can be many other reasons why people would kill other people
Serial killers are people that can never be reformed. You cannot let them out of the prison. think it won't happen again... they will always DO their evil acts, Just like pedophiles.
Eventually, we will understand neuroscience well enough to do so. But we aren't there yet. The brains of serial killers generally don't display any obvious anatomical abnormalities, which means that it's not that they are missing or suffer atrophy in parts of their brains, but two parts aren't communicating or firing properly. Areas associated with empathy might not be talking to areas associated with cognition, for example, allowing these people to be so coldly calculating.
@Fresh Beginnings moron is not name calling? You said nothing about my age what does that have to do with anything. Obviously you still understand my fked up English.
His mug shot at 15 gives me chills. His eyes really do look dead and lifeless. I watch crime shows a lot but this is one of the few that really hit me with how messes up it is.

I agree. I thought it rather odd that she had this grand story about how he exploded at her, and others had to come in to stop him, and she was so scared that she said she jolted backwards in her seat, and yet.........has no idea what she asked him, but it was probably about women. Uh? You recalled all that detail about this encounter but cannot recall the actual event which set it all in motion?
His mothers abuse drove him out of his mind and turned him into a madman. BUT there is no doubt in spite of his history he made the choice to do these things. Nobody made him do them he made a choice to do so
Why do these male detectives sound so sympathetic towards him? “He was tall” “He had a bad home life” “He was 15 and grew up in a mental hospital”, etc, etc.
@akagami i mean, the fact he behaved un such a way, his mom had to lock him in the basement says a lot. but who knows. maybe locking him there was what started it all.
@@pursuedcomic3 the combo resulting a serial killer is usually mostly brain development and a bit of the surrounding situation or a bit of brain development and a big part of the surrounding situation. its always those two factors mixed togheter, especially because there's people who were heavily ab*sed and didn't turn out like kemper for example
The producers of this program decided the full details of his mother’s and her best friend’s murder and his treatment of their remains were too gnarly to mention here... dude is truly twisted.
I love how they always make a big deal of a serial killer out in public as a crazy thing. What do you think they have no job and sit in a room all day? No shit they’re out in public
So true. But I think people would like to assume that serial killers look different than others (who are normal and kind people). Those people believe that they couldn't possibly look like them, you know? But they do. Because killers are people, essentially, so they look like people. But it's hard to think about it though, because we would all prefer that killers would be easy to detect, but they're not. Hell, even you could've talked to some random killer out in public before! It's creepy.
When you watch his interviews you can see how easy it was for him to disarm someone. He comes across as likeable. Not once would I think I needed to have my guard up against him.
You can be born with bad genes but a bad environment is probably the greatest trigger. Having said that frontal lobe damage OFTEN triggers mass murderers. If he was abused as badly as I suspect.. Then I bet its one trigger!
It's been observed that many of them had some sort of brain injury when young whether or not they were treated. Many were abused by either mom or dad or both.
Untrue, I'm afraid. Only 40% of convicted serial killers were abused as children. It depends on whether or not they have compulsions to kill, or aggression. I disagree with this Freudian analysis.
@Piatequila not everyone processes emotional or physical abuse in the same manner. Some it makes stronger others it destroys. I'm more than certain that with Ed Kemper it destroyed him inside.
SC is my hometown. There aren't many remnants of Kemper there, but my art teacher had a friend of a friend who was picked up by him, and ended up making an excuse for him to stop the car early because she was freaked out. When he was caught she recognized him immediately and realized that her gut feeling was right and she could have died.
@@mishikokenkebashvili879 she was with a friend so they were both able to tell him to stop. They kept saying that they knew someone nearby and they were expected at that person's house.
The dude who played kemper in mind hunter might have done one of the single greatest portrayals ever. It’s scary how spot on he was.
Seriously. Half the time I had to remind myself this guy is just an actor and not the real guy lol
Yup true. He portrayed Ed Kemperovic very well
@Max Larsen Why?
Damir Perkovic he was so specific pure class performance.
It was not just the guy who played Kemper in Mindhunter. Excellent performance from the guys who portrayed Son of Sam and Manson as well.
The fact he was only discovered due to his own confession and that there wasn't a hint of suspicion around him is sobering and probably an indication of how ingratiated he had become with the local police
99% of cases are solved by confessions/tips/forensics and criminal's mistakes.
@@par2go737 eye witness testimonies, and CCTV cameras too
He had to call 4 times they hung up on him .
His mom was murdered. He would've been the prime suspect
@@lilchaos4792 eh. Maybe. He peobably would've been questioned but he has such a good relationship with everyone and he's a very smart guy. He could talk his way out of it
Keep in mind... Kemper was never caught. He gave himself up.
He gave himself up only 3 days after he murdered his mother, because he knew he would get caught. He didn't do it out of remorse or skillfulness. It was already over and he knew it, that is why it only took him 3 days. He wanted to do it before the police actually catch him, which would have been inevitable.
Just got tired lol
It's a good thing too
@Curtis Fleabag ya animals like that don't change their strips over night
@@musicalcohol Getting caught is a whole different thing than being identified as a serial killer. He would've been identified and probably caught but it wasn't a given.
Police at the time didn't even co-ordinate among themselves.
According to him, his will to kill had been nullified. He was able to talk to young women like a normal person does. He realised killing his mother had been kind of a watershed moment for him. So, he decided to turn himself in.
Of course, I don't believe him completely but that's what he said and did. I don't see a reason why he lied because he had been a model prisoner and was even sent to some reform institution where he taught people computer science? I'm not sure what he taught but it was something along the same lines.
I can't even imagine the terror that these poor girls felt once they realized they weren't safe. Being trapped with anyone is scary let alone an almost 300 pound 6'9 man. I hope and pray those girls are at peace and are being taken care of. Absolutely heart breaking.

The basement his mother locked him in wasn't just a door and a flight of stairs. It was a trap door in the floor of the kitchen that was under the kitchen table. Imagine doing that to a child night after night, holy shit.
Right? She had to have problems too.
@Dr Benway M.D She had him locked up by the time he was 15. He got too big for her to handle. She had to protect his sisters. What's a mother to do?🔑Throw away the key😨

@@evr134 he started doing that after she began locking him and being aggressive... in another interview he said that she was so aggressive as a person, she mistreated his dad, his only friend or at least the only nice person who was arround..
Kemper is the scariest serial killer, I think. Incredibly intelligent, physically powerful, completely self-aware of the horrific nature of his desires but psychopathic and narcissistic enough to be emotionally detached from his crimes.

What truly intrigues and scares the hell out of me is, I’ve seen Kemper interviewed and he comes across as a big lug. Friendly, articulate and intelligent. I think it’s that disarming first impression that made/makes him so dangerous. I’m certain he knows and used that to his sociopathic advantage. My heart goes out to the families he destroyed. When a parent loses a child, that pain remains for life.
Yes, I saw clips from an interview at the channel The behaviour panel here at YT. And he has a way a bit like JW Gacy, appear as a guy who'd be a likeable and somewhat humoristic co-worker or a neighbour. And I think that is the scary, not like someone like Ramirez, who you would avoid.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 Yeah, exactly ….Ramirez is a perfect example. His eyes showed the evil!
It's not a disarming personality. He was social around guys and posed no threats to guys because guys didn't do anything wrong to him. His contempt for the way his mother punished and yelled at him traumatized him to the point to where his mental instability warped her treatment to him as a need to completely dominate and control them. In his mind, the best way to do that was making them a corpse first.
@@diinferi7485 I was aware of his mother’s awful treatment, the context, as you explained it, makes sense. Let me rephrase that! It’s actually crazy but it makes sense considering his psychological problems.
Why would you be surprised? Plenty of these guys are charming, personable. That's how they're able to have so many victims. Of course you have people like Ramirez and BTK that just blitz attack.

detective thinks he killed his mother to spare her the embarrassment of finding out what he had done, I think he killed her because he thought he was going to lose his opportunity to do it.

@@courtneyrae3056 I remember he said he killed his mother after he successfully hold the urge to kill his potential hitchhiker victim

Who knows why he did it. May be he was tellin the truth or maybe he was just feeding them what they wanted to hear. He was good at reading other people in that aspect.
Edmund Kemper has always struck me as one of the most terrifying serial killers. He is highly intelligent, a giant of a man, and carefully but innocuously plotted his evil deeds.
What confuses me though is that he showed extremely strange behaviour from a really young age:
At 9 years old, he decapitated dolls belonging to his sister;
At 10, he stated that to kiss his teacher, he would have to first kill her;
He then started torturing and dismembering animals;
As a young teenager, his mother locked him up in the basement, fearing that Ed would sexually abuse his sisters;
At 15 he murders his Grandparents????
Spends 5 years with hardened criminals in a mental institution.
And then at 20, he is RELEASED, and they warned the youth authorities NOT to send him back to his mother, and yet they did exactly that.
It’s actually a series of disasters that Ed Kemper was allowed to rejoin a normal society!
Seriously,
HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN??????????
"Innocuously plotted his evil deeds" is an oxymoron. Its like saying 'harmlessly plotted to harm people'.

Understand that the best argument whens in court rather then the truth. Understand how Ted Kaczynski was caught while watching the narrative that law enforcement tried to spin. Seeing how the Zodiac killer was handled & never caught. I also believe our justice system to be nothing more then a PR firm & lip service.
Our legal system is nothing more a then a form of Tax...Speeding tickets...No current tags on your car,plus court cost that can be as much as 300 bucks for something as simple as doing 40 mph in a 35 mph zone ...It's a racket...I'm not a fan of DUI drivers, but one single DUI can cost the driver well over 2,000 dollars

@@sethl9035the “gentle giant” gets me too because there is nothing GENTLE about him…
They say that because that’s how they perceive most of these guys. Think of Gacey, Dahmer, Bundy, all those guys were nice enough guys. They they turn out to be killers.
Especially the end, "he just wanted to be a normal boy, poor him, i'm sure he regrets EVERYTHING and is as horrified as we are!!"... yikes.
Its because all are men! And he never represent a danger for mans, only for womans... he heat woman with all his soul....
One way of looking at his surrender is as an act of self-aggrandizement. He controlled when he killed, and he controlled when he was caught. It's very characteristic of the narcissist to control absolutely everything. In controlling his capture he was able to put another feather in his cap, so to speak. "Look at me! I'm smarter than everyone. The only one who could catch me, is me."
He wasn’t caught though was he 😂😂 he gave himself up
& he was. that's what bothers me the most. this dude was the "evil man". completely evil but really smart/clever
I disagree, I think he had the fear that if he wasn't caught he wouldn't get the notoriety and the "fame"
Kemper believed most of his life that he was stupid...believing his mother who told him so frequently. It wasn't until after his apprehension that his IQ was tested. He tested at a genius level but was unaware of it till then.
He wasn't smart at all. The single most ridiculous and unacceptable decision by this justice system was that he was released AFTER MURDERING HIS GRANDPARENTS IN COLD BLOOD. This mental nutjob NEVER should have been out on the fucking streets. This is ridiculous. The blood of these murdered women are squarely on the court and criminal psychiatrists. This was a travesty!!!
I don't care if he passed all of his multiple choice mood quizzes.
"So you're mentally healthier huh, Ed? Well good, maybe you'll be able to better handle living in this mental institution for the rest of your life because you are not leaving, under ANY circumstances. I don't care if you win the Nobel Peace Prize, you are stuck here for the rest of your life."

@@rubydancer4241 Kemper never outright blamed his mother for his murders he was very conscious of his actions and never placed the fault at anyone. Parents are often blamed because most serial killers have a terrible childhood for instance Gacy had a terrible father and Ed Gein had a terrible mother or little Mary who had possibly the hardest life of any serial killer. Ed and Mary never blamed their mothers for their murders in fact Ed loved his mother more then anything. Kemper was very upfront with what happened there's no reason to lie about the emotional abuse he possibly suffered if he never blamed his mother for anything plus his mother still had no right to treat her son terribly by locking him under a trap door or calling him terrible names or the torture from his sisters as well. Plus his father confirmed how terrible his mother was
@@dazitmane8905 Not just his mother, the father as well
Kemper has stated in interviews that he often searched for victims after having arguments with his mother and that she refused to introduce him to women attending the university where she worked. He recalled: "She would say, 'You're just like your father. You don't deserve to get to know them'."
learning about women thru his mothers actions possibly was what made him this way

I'm SICK TO DEATH of murderers whining about their childhood. I grew up in one of the WORST childhood homes imaginable. But I don't consider killing people or animals.
Right! It's a choice that is made. If you can take lives like this, there should be an automatic death sentence.
That was just a narrator you know that right..
A lot of times it's the upbringing of someone with mental illness though. Some may have a bad childhood but no mental illness, vice versa. I have mental illnesses but I don't think about killing anyone either, but I also didn't have a bad childhood. The combination of both can cause one to murder.
Sick to me?
Shut up. It's not about you.
Why is it so hard for so many people to accept that people's behaviors are factors of both genetic and epigentic factors? Why are so many people it has to be either nature OR nurture and not both?
A psychiatrist told me that the factors involved in behavior development are nature, nurture, environment and “we don’t know”. I think the “I don’t know” has to do with how the individual ties the factors together. He was a child psychiatrist for years and he told me that he was unable to determine which children would turn out well and which ones wouldn’t.
@@shadrach6299Wow, thanks for this comment. I haven't heard that 'factor' mentioned much. THIS, I believe, is the part that is almost impossible for people to come to terms with. It is just too unsure, too scare and abstract for people to reconcile and live with. Then our own children or loved ones - or we - could do this.
Maybe it's a way of separating the ed kempers of the world from us so called normal people

Give them a break. An IQ of 145 mean Kemper's in the 99.865 percentile. Very few people are smarter than him in comparison.
Way to be insulting.
Just think of how much time , effort and the rest has to go into detective work for things like this , the guy was smart as often are most serial killers , how do you think they get away with it for so long even with full police teams working on cases 24/7 ... not to mention this is a documentary dumbed down , it would take a whole week if they went into every tiny detail .

I would've kept a closer eye on him after he killed his grandparents at the age of 15. That's not typical behavior in 10th grade, at least a little less common than sneaking out at night to get drunk with your buddies. 🤔 Some would say it was a red flag.

@@Nameless.stranger Three Identical Strangers was MESSED up.
I think it’s very fascinating that he blew up when faced with a female asking him questions. It just makes me wonder, if more women had interviewed him or psych evaluated him, maybe he wouldn’t have been able to pull off that he was so normal, or “cured” after killing his grandparents. I wonder if any of the psychiatrists at the hospital he was held in were women.
There actually have been multiple female psychs on his case over the years; as time went on his apprehensiveness and hostility towards women pretty much vanished. Notice how the one female psych they did interview was one of the later ones; she displayed the same niceness towards his case as the men. It's not just gender; it's experience with him. He's rather asocial as it is, has never been treated great by his female family members, picture an incel talking to a girl right as he's getting out of the incel phase. He's still gonna come off apprehensive and nihilistic. Kemper is not used to women much. He's only been evil to them. He's trying to make the best of his situation, but it's not like he's had to apply his social skills to females much yet. It is a bit different, especially if you're asocial and used to dudes.
He has also been apprehensive to male psychologists, though he's much more used to dealing with men, to the point you can't help but respect his approach in the iconic "panic button interview" where displayed a particularly calm and tactical use of intimidation, after around an hour of personal and dark questions that intimidated the interviewer. I'm pretty sure it's the oldest gentleman you see in this documentary, the man speaking at around 21:14.
@kinG iZZy Um, they don't display empathy towards his actions. In reality, the man has been very forthright and forthcoming; the image drawn by the investigators is pretty much the same one you would draw after looking deep into this case. He at least deserves the gratitude of an honorable portayal of his actions. It's the least they could do after he described the murders in detail with a heavy, emotional manner through the years, helped them find all the bodies he killed, has never committed a violent crime in prison, nor acted in a truly unlikable manner while in prison, helping inmates, those outside the prison walls, and even himself come to terms with their punishments and make the best of it. The man is the definition of vilified, however you might see it.

He was on the janitorial staff and had access to the room where they keep the psych tests. He memorized all of them. He was a super friendly guy, very smart, and then he aced multiple exams.

Im still trying to figure out how in the hell did he used lip balm to stop a mechanism to keep one locked in the car
Easy. The cars back then were made differently than they are today. The handles may have been the kind to open only pulling up or down hence blocking the handle from unlocking/unclicking open. Just like today's cars have the different inside door locks without the rounded piece on top of the door lock. I can see the Chapstick working on those older late 60's to early. 70's vehicles.
✌
The old cars had handles on the inside that you had to pull out to open. By putting a chapstick in the gap, the pivot end of the handle was not able to go back and therefore the door wouldn't open.

Can’t even call hur his mum tho
What a f___ up.
that's worse? you yourself is sick af@@zNowly
One of the craziest things about Kemper is that he could have gotten away for a much longer period of time. There was a part of him that seemed to wrestle with himself, that wanted to do the right thing. It was like his conscience was keeping him awake. I don't think any other serial killer that I'm aware of has ever turned on himself and his base desires to try to keep society safe from him. Many have gotten sloppy over time, and BTK's desire to reveal details about his crimes to authorities accidentally showed too much information about himself, too, but they didn't necessarily want to get caught. Kemper did. I'm very grateful that he did. He will always be a bit of an enigma.
I don't think he wanted to turn himself in... he thought he made a mistake by murdering his mother because he thought he had been discovered, and he murdered her in a disorderly way and he knew they were going to catch him for that. The man does not regret anything, for him they were not women, they were objects.
He also refuses parole every time it comes up because he knows he'd kill again if given the chance.

We want to learn about them, being repelled by them, as a means to understand what depravity can lead to.
Serial killers are just a symptom of a sick, sick society. Consider that serial killers as we know them were quite rare before 1870. It wasn't until 1970 that the FBI even recognized that they existed and that's when they invented the term "serial killer". Since 1870, the number of detected serial killers has increased decade by decade until today, See the 1983 FBI film "No Apparent Motive" here on YT. There you will hear FBI profilers tell you that the number of serial killers exploded around 1950. In that film, you'll hear about the then new FBI VICAP system which was intended to track serial killers but it has had only limited success since then. Focusing on individual serial killers, even as the "experts" still do today, will never yield the answer to what serial killers are really all about because they are a symptom of an increasingly sick society. Otherwise, why didn't they exist before 1870 ? Is it the case that "evil" individuals just started appearing around 1870 and have increased in number since then ? There are definitely societal reasons why serial killers exist, but no one wants to look at that because it would tarnish the reputation of the glorious Industrial Revolution and all the wonderful inventions and money that it has generated. As far as I can see, serial killers are an unintended negative side effect of the Industrial Revolution and no one is going to come to grips with this problem until our society admits that. Consider also that serial killers happen more in some countries than in others with the USA leading the pack with 58% all serial killers in history being detected there. Are we to assume that more "evil" individuals reside in the USA, or is it the case that the USA is the sickest society, hence the society where most serial killers have appeared. But as long as people childishly conceive of serial killers as "the Evil Bogeyman hiding beneath your bed" a real scientific understanding of serial killers and the sick society that spawns them will never commence. ... jkulik919@dmail.com

Eventually, we will understand neuroscience well enough to do so. But we aren't there yet.
The brains of serial killers generally don't display any obvious anatomical abnormalities, which means that it's not that they are missing or suffer atrophy in parts of their brains, but two parts aren't communicating or firing properly. Areas associated with empathy might not be talking to areas associated with cognition, for example, allowing these people to be so coldly calculating.

False disclosure by producers. In actuality Kemp was hungry and his mom couldn't cook him a meal, so he cooked her and her friends in a bloody soup.
Which dude?
@@anonymousperson3023 the dude
How do you know that? This is interesting because the details surrounding those murders are inconsistent.
I love how they always make a big deal of a serial killer out in public as a crazy thing. What do you think they have no job and sit in a room all day? No shit they’re out in public
So true. But I think people would like to assume that serial killers look different than others (who are normal and kind people). Those people believe that they couldn't possibly look like them, you know? But they do. Because killers are people, essentially, so they look like people. But it's hard to think about it though, because we would all prefer that killers would be easy to detect, but they're not. Hell, even you could've talked to some random killer out in public before! It's creepy.
Of course its a big deal like one could be sitting right next to you, got in the elevator with you or hang out in a bar.
When you watch his interviews you can see how easy it was for him to disarm someone. He comes across as likeable. Not once would I think I needed to have my guard up against him.
It's wierd they keep eluding that he was a good guy. They should be saying he killed his grandparents at 15 in the same sentence. 🤦🏼♀️
yea because his personality made him really nice and friendly, the things he did were all his mother's fault
@@min_2479 What horse shit.
Did you know he was 6'9? I don't know if they mentioned it.
Yes they did,two times!
Wowww thanks for mentioning it, I was waiting for that through the whole series. Thank you, thank you very much
Thanks I did not know that
You can be born with bad genes but a bad environment is probably the greatest trigger. Having said that frontal lobe damage OFTEN triggers mass murderers. If he was abused as badly as I suspect.. Then I bet its one trigger!
Tori Gratton
Yeah, product of your environment is it.
Exactly.
I don't know how these people think they can abuse children and not have them retaliate eventually.
It's been observed that many of them had some sort of brain injury when young whether or not they were treated. Many were abused by either mom or dad or both.
Untrue, I'm afraid. Only 40% of convicted serial killers were abused as children. It depends on whether or not they have compulsions to kill, or aggression. I disagree with this Freudian analysis.
@Piatequila not everyone processes emotional or physical abuse in the same manner. Some it makes stronger others it destroys. I'm more than certain that with Ed Kemper it destroyed him inside.
Why is the music so loud?? Lol
SC is my hometown. There aren't many remnants of Kemper there, but my art teacher had a friend of a friend who was picked up by him, and ended up making an excuse for him to stop the car early because she was freaked out. When he was caught she recognized him immediately and realized that her gut feeling was right and she could have died.
Wow, that was close, thankfully, he stopped the car, I wonder what would she had done if he didn't stop?
How did she convince him to stop the car??
Damn
@@mishikokenkebashvili879 she was with a friend so they were both able to tell him to stop. They kept saying that they knew someone nearby and they were expected at that person's house.
@@natasham3346 that's scary holy shit
