- Serial killer Edmund Kemper's interview with French writer Stéphane Bourgoin, filmed in 1991 when Kemper was 42 years old.
Here is another video on this interview, it contains some footage not in this one. • Ed Kemper Interview - ...
Here's a picture of Kemper in 2011. He is ~400 lbs in this. i.imgur.com/xzWBeyL.jpg
Also, here is the transcript of Kemper's 2017 parole hearing. It is 150+ pages but worth reading imo. drive.google.com/open?id=1Ty9_24qKP3N4QBxaE7oTutvIDrwOSuxW
Finally, if you are interested in serial killer interviews, you will be probably find Chosen Won's videos interesting. He talks to a lot of street-walking prostitutes, the predominant victims of most serial killers. ua-cam.com/play/PLE0kP8hRK8LOS9xFZgYkMlQTpP9aIDkCi.html
oh shit !
What a find. My gawd.
Landau thanks for the pic -damn he looks even scarier older and bigger-I don't know why,I've always found him interesting,watch and read anything to do with him-and I think those girls had literally no chance of escaping him-he's still scary as hell
Thank you! He looks pretty healthy, considering. I've noticed a lot of his family tend to be big people.

if a serial killer was gonna have a podcast....its this guy.
Could be Jeffrey dahmer too
I would religiously listen to it
Call it the talking heads podcast
Vasilijan Nikolovski Joe would be like “have you ever done... what you do. On dmt??”
@Vasilijan Nikolovski Theo von Ed Kemper
I hate to say positive things about serial killers but this guy was such a waste of an otherwise sharp mind
Yeah, intelligent and very tall. Great genes, quite a shame that they weren't passed on.
Yes. 'Quite a shame' he didn't spread his wonderful seed...
Dan Goodwin theoretically, he could have overcome his mother issues and led a productive life, it comes back to nature vs nurture. I wonder what ever became of Charles Manson's child(ren? not sure if he had more than one).
Very true. (btw, I personally know two of Roch Theriault's (Canada's most notorious cult leader/murderer) sons and they're normal-ish)
yeah i hate the "blame the parents" game but this guys mother was a real bitch, i wonder if somewhere in her fucked up head she wanted her son to kill her
He’s highly intelligent. He’s got complete dominance of the conversation. He’s not talking to the interviewer. He’s talking to everyone watching.
Exactly.
I'm beyond intrigued by the psyche meds bit.
Is it safe to assume he had adhd or add judging from his reaction to amphetamines
@@rosepatterson951 how's that stupid mask treating ya?
Quite possibly
According to Englishman John Abbott who did time with Kemper at St. Quentin in the late 70s, he was also one of the strongest dudes in the California prison system at the time.

He's not "highly intelligent", you're just sick and easily impressed by a barbaric beast.
I understand how the girls trusted him and went in his car, his way of talking, his friendly face, his relaxing tone of voice, his humor. This is frightening, because I would trust him too.
It’s Too bad he didn’t get ya
@@kimberley4035 no thanks I rather get someone else🙏🏽⚰️that’s the environment I came up in.offing mf’s for trying you.welcome to the black community baby🖤🔪
@@kimberley4035 and I hella support this mf for the things he did .had he still been active we wouldn’t have so many of you feminists on ya high horse.these niggas weren’t evil at all.they were dope

This is disturbing.
This guy is very likable and very interesting to listen to, and then you remember "he murdererd and beheaded innocent girls".
@gyno shut the fuck up
@gyno He also beheaded his mother and had sex with her head.
@@jewelnicole8613 that was going to be my comment.
@@jewelnicole8613 yeah but his mom sounds like a bitch
She did indeed he had no other choice but to kill her then decapate her and skull fuck her head
The scariest part is some points you start to forget he’s a mass murderer ...
I totally agree with you, I was watching another interview with him and started to respect his intellect, took me a second to shake it off and remember what he was !
WaXeCyVuBiNo you are an asshole
Yes he is very smart
Facts!
israel ince smarter than you.
This guy should have channeled his dark energy into writing books.
He is very descriptive in his details
Probably would have won every writer's award on offer, Ed Kemper, in view of his crimes, is truly a fascinating individual.
he actually voiced over 500 audio books while he was in prison
@@rileymajor9706and the sales for those audiobooks are huge
Probably became that after all the killing
That’s why we need our parents to be parents. Regardless of what they did and didn’t learn … you should always want better for your kids even if your parents gave you the world. So she should’ve focused on his talents then persecute only bad behavior. Some people grow into this
Listening to this man speak made me think “wow what a well spoken, intelligent, & kind individual.” Then I remember all the things he did and it’s truly chilling. It’s no wonder that he became friends with the police officers in his town and hung out at the bar with them. They probably never thought this guy was behind any of it and it absolutely terrifies me that there are MANY people like this man out there. Total chameleons.
You might want to take a look at the updates on this case, he was not the guy
@@gibraltar9569Saw some news saying they identified the guy like a month ago, Google it.
It's very common for serial killers to be like that. They're pretty Charming fellows. Somehow the human mind thinks that just because somebody is nice to them means that they can't do anything wrong when the nicest people in the world are some of the nastiest. We think all serial killers are these decrepit monsters that are dirty. And look disgusting While most of them I just Your Average Joe's. But the human mind thinks that somebody who does such disturbing stuff must look sound and be truly disturbing when that isn't the case most of the time
The police didn't actually believe "Big Ed's" confession
Yes, had his life gone just a bit differently, he could have become a professor of psychology.
Personally, I find him more fascinating than Ted Bundy
Ted is boring as fuck
Right.. he is so truthful and his mind works so different. My interest has shifted far from Ted at this point from a psychological standpoint.
Meagan Kelley same!
Ted Bundy was a pissed off mamas boy who got away with murder because police technology wasn’t very good back then.
Bundy was a clown and not that smart And not attractive.
He looks and sound like a school teacher. Like a really good knowledgeable English teacher that tells great stories and never gives homework
And who has sex with corpses he murdered
And is a 2m15 genius psychopath
Yeah he’s very cunning, very smart and his way with words sucks you in and almost hypnotizes you, that’s how he was able to kill young women
😂 he definitely does

This man is still in Prison today. 48 years later. He has lived in prison longer than he lived a free life. Crazy
He's where he belongs
Joe Biden should have been there but hes too influential to be caught
The crazy part about this guy that his in the state prison in Vacaville Ca, that’s where I live. Shit i didnt know im that close
To this guy
side by side environmentaL cause....
The actor that played him in Mindhunter did such an incredible job. Can't believe he didn't get an Oscar. That was Leo and Johnny Depp level of acting. He killed it, so much so he said in an interview it was extremely hard, and he never wants to play a serial killer or even a bad guy who murders again. It deeply disturbed him, and the other actors who were interviewing him. They also said they were extremely uncomfortable and kept forgetting their lines due to the actors demanding presence and intensity of his lines and deliverance of those lines.
To bad they didn’t continue that series, although the last few episodes weren’t as good as the first, but I still would have liked them to continue it. Oh well I guess.
Leo isnt that good of an actor bud
How would he get an Oscar for tv? Not how it works
Lol @ He killed it…
@@K4inan they had Leo fill River Phoenix's shoes after River died
Please mothers, be kind to your sons.
Elaborate please? I don't really understand how narcissism plays into this.
JohnnyAppleseed bullshit
JohnnyAppleseed John Douglas ,you know FBI psychologist that worked extensively with Kemper to form the FBIs modern profiling models, would likely disagree with you
No one is to blame for what he did except himself.
Freeb Ca Ultimately, yes, but you do have to consider upbringing and underlying issues with the brain that were present at birth. A lot of things had to come together to produce a person that does these kinds of things.
broken homes and abusive parents can really mess up people.
yeah, but... let’s not pretend that’s why he’s a grotesque murderer. i’m sure it didn’t help, but victims of abuse are far more likely to be victims again than to become abusers themselves.
look up the lead theory
@@tangyferbreze actually, a lot of victims of abuse end up being abusers, a lot of psychology experts have said, it also depends on each person because everyone is different, and a lot of other factors such as the extremity of the abuse and how long it went on for
@@tangyferbreze and by everyone is different I mean some people are more likely to do these things than others because some people get affected differently, someone might end up being more strong and mean, others end up becoming sensitive
Yep you're going to get comments that keep looking , attacking the end result which is him. Reminding you what a terrible person. he is ... and that things he did was awful. ..awful things that are disgusting but he wasn't born that way. We are all responsible for his Behavior imo. he was forged over years by his surroundings. We are what we eat. Everybody has an answer after the fact but he was trapped ! in his mind.
@@jhonfamo8412He was born that way. His horrendous acts as a child have been left out... trying to molest and even kill his sisters, trying to catch his stepmother naked, staring at his grandmother etc
His family wants nothing to do with him and have vowed to kill him if he's freed. They suspected him of the coed murders, long before law enforcement and have said he hasn't confessed to all.
This is truly a gem on youtube, 1 hour and a half of Kemper talking. Thank you so much.
You're welcome
Ya'll are creepy af
You shut your mouth buddy
@@coenh8735 I'm with you
@@coenh8735 Yet, here you are?
A serial killer walks into a room to do an interview with a fella about half his size. No cuffs and no guards escorting him. The guard who lets him in is a woman about half his size.
He loves cops tho would never hurt them hahah
Everyone likes Ed
KRK KLN they probably scared of him and wanted to be nice to him Lol shoot.
KRK KLN the justice system being super effective
Its probably guards with shotguns right around the corner
jesus christ the creepiest part is how likeable he is
Ik, gotta keep reminding yourself what he did. Very strange.
Thats how powerful a brain can be. Interesting.
Check out Dahmer, Rifkin and Michael Ross, they give real insight, not like Bundy or Gacey. Because they admit the crimes and talk about how and why they did it. Rifkin is so odd too. He tried to have sex with the corpse because he read Bundy and Ridgeway did that, but didn't like that. I think there are different types of killers, some are necrophiliacs, others are not. Ross said his fantasies developed into murders late in his life, during college. Earlier in his life he would dream about kidnapping girls that fall in love with him.
Stop taking the Lord’s name in vain.
@@kellywebster573 its ok, he doesnt exist so he dont mind
This guy can talk for hours without any prompting- it is fascinating. Brilliant storytelling skills. Usually I’m annoyed by people who are compelled to chronically speak; not so with this …uhhh, serial killer? Poor guy. Poor victims. Poor world for missing out on what he could have been.
Dont say poor guy hes a narcissistic murderer its not his fault he was born as that but that is his fault with what he chose to do poor victim this guy should have just stayed away
@@fleshplushie pardon me for not conveying it more astutely- I stand corrected
@@TheHergeea nah your kinda right just dont take away what he did
I feel like the video format just makes it more palletable. If you were stuck in the cell with the guy and he just talked like this constantly, it would drive you nuts. You don't experience the same psychological responces to watching a video of a guy talking constantly as you would doing the same thing in reality. You aren't compelled to look at them as they speak, which gets uncomfortable when a person doesn't stop talking and you don't get responces popping into your head that they don't give you a chance to say, because there's no point. He also probably repeats himself on a dialy basis. The brain digests videos differently from essentially the same experiences in real life. Brain scans of people watching videos causes them to produce brain wave activity that is associated with the same brain activity that happens while you are dreaming. If it's real life your brain actually does a lot more work and activity happens in comparison therefore it's simply not as easy to be relaxed and comfortable listening to a speaker in real life versus watching a video of them saying the same thing.
@@dickrichard626 faie
It’s so confusing to see someone that’s so intelligent/self aware, that made the choices he made.
Its scary how normal he appears to be. Hard to imagine him doing those horrible things.
Maybe there is no opposition in that.
..... you clearly haven't met enough abusers that create people like him.
Random fart sound at 40:46
That's the thing....the way kids are taught about "strangers" and how people portray killers and rapists etc is in such a way as to distance them from humanity. To frame them as some monstrous and immediately identifiable creatures. They ARE just regular people. They're human like everyone else, they just have done things that, as a society, we've created a tabu around. Ask a small kid what a stranger looks like, and it'll illustrate this well. Many will describe a dark, sneaky, ugly and mean person. It's something I've been very conscious of when teaching my kids about self awareness, self defense etc.
I bet that when he killed he was also chilled af.
I feel like i could listen to him talk forever...scary.
He has actually narrated audio books. So you're not the only one whom feels that way.
you'd be surprised what god can forgive and redeem not that he's a Christian but god forgave murderers in the bible.
@PNW Ghost Talk are you attracted to him?
@@johntopham3 there's very particular difference between attracted to someone and liking someone's voice. And he has bit of Morgan Freeman's voice so... of course it's natural thing he didn't achieved by himself, So...
R you on meds
I find it absolutely fascinating to listen to how emotionally intelligent this man is. Most SKs are a bit ambiguous about themselves and their thoughts and behaviors, but Ed seems to be very aware of himself. More than a lot of “normal” people, even. He is very interesting to listen to and has given, what seems to be very genuine insights into his psychology.
He is high iq, I think he taught himself these emotions by studying others, I doubt it was inbuilt
Yes agree, it's almost like you don't believe for a moment that he has done this horrific things. Then you have to remember yourself from time to time.
But I think this man is only dangerous in certain circumstances " alone in a car with a woman"
Take that opportunity away from him, and he is no longer a danger to the society.
What's a SK?
@@user-ru9gf7ky2y omg 🙄
SERIAL KILLERS.
@@jimmykarlsson2567 Nice passive-aggression.
He is so careful with how he presents himself. In one interview when talking about killing his mother he went through killing her and then said “and then I humiliated her body”.
You know damn well that means he screwed her corpse. The fact he can come off as likable (proven in the comment section of any interview) when talking about cold blooded murder makes him so incredibly dangerous. He never takes accountability but points to everything else. I’m sure his mom was abusive and awful but HE chose to kill, behead and even cannibalize human beings.
Make no mistake, he's definitely dangerous beyond words (if not perhaps older and slower now) but he has taken accountability for what he did many times in many interviews and states very clearly it was his choice to kill. He's extremely self-aware which is what makes him so fascinating to researchers.
He had sex with her decapitated head, so yeah, pretty much.
I find him such a complex study but sure would not want to ever be alone with the guy.
@@DarlaAnne I read the whole transcript of his last parole hearing in 2017 and he has not taken responsibility or accountability. Sure he says he has done it but he says it is BECAUSE of xyz. Usually his abusive mom. That is not responsibility or accountability. And that is how he frames it in interviews. Sure he says he did it but he blames it on something that drove him to it.
To take responsibility and accountability is to say “I did this heinous thing and it was wrong” END. STOP. Don’t then pass it off by saying it is because of anything. No matter how abusive and shitty Anyones life is…murder falls on the murderer. Until he stops giving bull shit explanations I won’t view it as taking responsibility and the parole board agrees with me.
He decapitated his mother, cut out her tongue, ripped her trachea out and fucked her face...nice
@@dingledo23 he is gonna be in jail and never get out but the man can't explain his mind? Bullshit is thinking everyone is like you, people react differently.. Look how Bundy tried to play it, that's what you are describing..
Accountability means nothing to a psychopath, he values his freedom which he gave away.
40:35 he clearly states he's not putting what he did to girls on her. Her mother is part of the person he is, that doesn't mean he doesn't take responsibility or that he's got an excuse. Just because he's not using the same vocabulary as you to describe what he did doesn't mean he's downplaying things. I know he can manipulate but in this position l, what's the point ? He admits what he did an not only in this interview.
I can see that the Mindhunter actor is more based on THIS Ed Kemper than the 1984 Ed Kemper. That's interesting
absolutely, I was watching a side by side comparison with Ed from 84, in the interview they based the dialogue with the agents, and I was thinking before that video, he was doing a great job (the actor), but does not look like the Ed from that video. I think they choose this one for the looks and because of the series is a drama and that acting works better than that real Ed for what they are trying to tell in the first season.
I would say somewhere in between.
david I think it’s cause he was in jail for a long time at that point in the show so he was trying to give this persona of him being adjusted to jail.
This one can get anything he wants from the canteen
I wonder what these serial killers would talk about if we'd put them all in one room.
That’s so freaky! I was exactly thinking the same thing and for some reason also thought this guy would hate Ted Bundy😂
A lot of them, though equally depraved, have very different temperaments. Dennis rader for example, the BTK killer, is apparently incredibly dull and dry, so much so in fact that most criminologists don't bother to interview him for his insights, because he's so boring.
Kemper is a fanatic's dream because he's always ready to regale, to put on a show - generally I'd imagine they're rather untoward and manipulative people, they might want to talk to the everyday person about their killings, from which they would surely derive some satisfaction, but not other killers.
Probably Trump, super bowl and internal jail-jokes
they'd be bitching about their vacation time, 401K etc...
Severed heads 😂
If only this man had been raised properly, he may have actually done good for the world.
If only he hadent raped and mutilated young girls, maybe they might have had a life. How about a thought for them, instead of lionising this bastard!
Listen to this devil. Speaking about houses that looked like dungeons, and dingy basements, and beds with handcuffs and rusty pipes, and stained carpets, and all sorts of dark nonesene. Gues what guys? HE COMPLETELY MADE ALL OF THIS UP. THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO TO PEOPLE....He is liying. AS USUAL. He makes things up to lure females and kill them. All that dingy dungeon horror stories he told? About him being locked up in a basement? Is a lie. It was actually what he fantasies of doing *to women* . He is retelling his deeds of what he did and wants to do, by pretending it was what happened to him, and He is getting aroused by it, but this interviewer is too slow to catch on
Lol
He’s got stories for days… And I’d listen to all of them.
He'd be a horrible cell mate. Never stops talking.
@@dougstyles those are the worst…
@joechiodi5529 Right?! Even when they see u trying to read some old western paperback book,they keep talking.
@@dougstyles that’s usually when I tell them to shut up or have them hit the box and move to another cell.
This guy is one hell of a storyteller.
Effortless!
this is what happens when you read books instead of vegging infront of a tel-lie-vision
@@MelchizedekKohen and are white or irish
Not really, he has been repeating the same self pity stories since he got caught.
One hell of a psychologist too
It's weird because he can articulate his feelings and emotions so well but couldn't stop himself from killing
aj12 i think he made a choice
Besides, he's had a lot of time to reflect on everything. He was more of a mess when he did the killings.
He enjoys articulating his deeds .
Demonic
He did learn how to no longer kill young woman he put himself in a place full of men he turned himself in he was never caught I have watched police try to take credit for 'catching' no he could have killed 20 more girls before they ever caught him he killed his mom he's not stupid he knows they would put two an two together he knew the only way was to get himself away from his victims
The way he describes his living environment as a kid was so good I could picture it vividly. I can see that being scary as a kid.
I think one of the saddest thing about a lot of these serial killers beside the victims, is that everybody had so much potential. I think if Ed had a normal two parent home with a bit of early childhood intervention, he'd have been a good member of society.
He is a fascinating individual. What could’ve been if he had a loving and caring mother and grandmother.
Can you imagine if he applied his mind in other fields? Like science or just research?
Waste of intelligent minds bruh.Just like ISIS.They could use their military to protect civilians,but instead they attack them.
Or the NBA, he’s 6’9
or pig food. he would be good pig food.
leonthesleepy you almost forget he is a killer
With this level of aspergers and ocd..... the iphone would still have a head phone jack.
It’s scary because if I met him at a bar I wouldn’t mind talking to him all night and if I get a ride back home and that’s when he cuts my head off lmao
Funny you say that because he used to sit at the bar with he local police. He befriended them and would ask them questions about procedure so he could gather information. . and he found it interesting. They liked him, thought he was harmless.
You wouldn't be able to lmho that's for sure!!!
@Ghost Heart hahaah "meh, that happens"
lol, great comment
Lolllll beware!!!!!!
Ed Keeper is one of the most self aware people I have ever seen. Its crazy.
The fact that someone like him, with his level of perception and intelligence turned out to be a serial killer is a bit of a godsend.. when it comes to trying to understand why people do this, I mean.
Most serial killers dont seem to understand the demons that drive them. They're just slaves to their desires. And Kemper is too, but the fact that he knows it and understands it makes him more dangerous.. and tragic. Must of been hell for him fighting those demons and losing. He's probably much happier now that the temptation has been taken away from him.
I’m sure he is . I think that’s why he turned himself in. He knew he needed help and was ready to end it.
He does have self awareness but you can see how he plays himself as the victim in every single story he tells. He is manipulative still
You're exactly right. And his demon was his mother...
That's why he won't go for parole
Factual. Ed is a fascinating case that goes beyond psychoanalysis of a killer. It’s a deep dive into the human mind & the psyche of human nature on a very broad spectrum.
*The fact that most of us feel scared and disgusted by what he did, but at the same time stay calm with him talking, says a lot about him. He is a natural manipulator, a demon disguised as a human.*
This isn't manipulation. You fail to realize that killers are equally as human as you. They aren't monsters, they are your father's, mother's, brothers, sister's, etc. They aren't robots, they have thoughts like you or I. The man is being honest. People have been killing people longer than we have had written/spoken language, for many different reasons. It's deeply human
He's fragmented. Extremely narcissistically abused. His real self is gone. Nothing to do with demons. We need to be aware of child abuse. So we stop breeding these. Society should impose studies and "diplomas" to have the right to have children. Having children should be a privilege. If you are healthy enough mentally and emotionally.
no you're just dumb
Legend says that he's still talking.
Nope he’s sick of talking. He’s sick of how the criminologist’s see him and how they don’t listen to him. He’s had a stroke and is old now.
😂
@@nikeeweston awww too bad I don’t feel sympathy for him
🤣🤣🤣
His still interesting at his old age just read his last parole hearing I couldn’t get enough!
And, weird enough, prison guards and administration refers to him as an absolutely model prisoner. He has been productive, and seems to be a force for good in the psych prison community he's in. He is an artisanal maker of hand-crafted cups, and has recorded thousands of hours of books for the blind, as well as managing the prison program that allows other inmates to work in these fields.
He routinely turns down parole hearings, and has no interest in being freed, because he doesn't think he's fit to be released. In terms of intelligence -- especially considering his upbringing -- he might just verge on being classified a genius. There's no excuse for what this guy did, but I wonder what have become of Ed Kemper if he wasn't abused and mistreated at home. Or, at the least, if he had the right role models to keep him from engaging so deeply in this horrible fantasy life he began to develop at an early age.
He might have been a great man.
I noticed in the video the woman guard didn't seem to take precautions. She even had her back turned to him a couple of times while he waited to be let in. Apparently, after all these years they have began to trust him due to his model behavior.
Sadly millions of people have abused. There is no excuse for what he did
I find him scary. You can tell if you're a woman alone with him he would start up with his creepy sick shit. Of course, I wouldn't guess he was a killer, but definitely a weird pervert.
can u know where this books red by him can be found? cuz I kinda like so much that person (in term of genius talkin as you say) and would be great for me found books red by him you know
interstellish actually his iq has been measured, and he is indeed a genius
I could listen to him all day. He's hella interesting. Thank you for uploading this!
I would like to see an updated interview to see what he’s like now that he spent most of his life behind bars because he’s always been an intelligent person and a great insight into the mind of a serial killer and psychopath
He's asking to get free now
Never forget that the one thing all serial killers have in common is that they are incredible manipulators. This guy was able to convince the experts to release him from Atascadero 5 years after murdering his grandparents.
The higher level point is all serial killers have missteps in their childhoods- and they can be smart, or they can be dull, or somewhere in between.
@Kurt He didn’t manipulate shit. This guy begged the doctors to keep him after he killed his grandparents and the judge at the time send him back with his mother anyway.
He actually begged to stay there. It was a Judge that put him back with his mother
Yea you’re getting brainwashed because of having low iq
You're one stupid person, he never manipulated anyone in that prison, he wanted to be kept in there u dumb fuck
I don’t think he’s manipulating, I can’t think of any motives he would have at this point. He surely does enjoy telling his stories and he offers analysis of his psyche and his actions, which I think is interesting and useful.
He was lonely his whole life and I think in prison he found people who want to listen to him, as well as a purpose in life, for the first time ever. I understand why he has refused his parole hearings, he has built a life in prison that he doesn’t believe he could have built in the real world, and he doesn’t want to give that up. He doesn’t want to get out of there.
You're right. He found his purpose.

Ew.
It’s interesting how his 1984 interview he still had ALOT of hate and sadness towards his mother. Here in 1991, he speaks about her from a more sympathetic and understanding light. He even sees that she had her own issues she wasn’t dealing with properly. Ed is a guy who would have never killed if he had a different upbringing.
I see the charm in him but I hope parole board is much more scrutinizing in making their decisions about people like him. Higher the inteligence better the manipulation.
He's an very interesting character, because despite seeming self aware and charming, he still shows the 'typical' serial killer signs.
Deadpan delivery
Long discussions about himself
An inability to take responsibility
Excuses for why he chose to murder innocents
Gloating about his accomplishments, however small.
And despite seeing all of it, I could listen to him talk all day.
He's dangerous, and he knows it. It's fortunate that the world knows it too.
100% agree.

Language barrier
@@kaidengathings3096 possibly not as I tested below ed at 139 but I think I would do a significantly better job researching and asking more incisive questions.
@@silverpairaducks possibly but my opinion is that he's not asking very good questions...he's not challenging in any way and that isn't necessarily a language thing in my opinion...EK has a high IQ so my questions would be around his absolute failure to put that intelligence to good use.
He evades speaking of his dark fantasies when asked. He evades speaking of his teacher about killing her first in order to kiss her. He’s very evasive and moves the narrative in his own direction and really does not say much of his own personal feelings and deep dark evil fantasies. He speaks of living in the basement as being in hell.
Really interesting point. A big part of what makes Kemper so interesting is his iq. Mix that with the affable persona he presents and you have a good example of what's considered the surface level charisma that a lot of people with aspd can display. When listening to him talk a lot of it is waffle that presents him in a good light. I doubt this is entirely unconscious, especially when compared to interviews with other killers like joel rifkin who try to present past events as only from their desired perspective.
For instance when talking about Herb Mullen, Kemper represents himself as a mentor figure. I doubt this is entirely accidental. I would say he probably has a fragile mental image of himself that above all he has to put forward especially in a situation like an interview regarding his past.
As such he is probably aware of the general view the public have of him and is attempting to have some control over it.
This to me suggests that regardless of awards for volunteering or mentoring of other inmates there is still little chance for reform given that lack of ability to account for his past actions, instead attempting to mask them with an idealised version of his time in incarceration.
@@Bee-gg5mk It's interesting to note that our society has given serial killers "Star status" and look to them as having an aura of information we know nothing about as the so-called experts evaluate the crimes and motives. Our society has propped them up on a pedestal and the opportunists earn millions of dollars making countless movies of the atrocious crimes and endless horrors. Their personas transform these individuals into cult figures as some women crave their attention sending lurid photos seeking marriage .
@@thelaserdoc1 Agreed. People tend to romanticise serial killers like outlaws and pirates due to the rebellious nature of their actions in regards to normal society. However when faced with a dispassionate and objective view of the crimes they commit are often abhorred.
I personally think it's probably inherent in human nature to be fascinated by the darker side of humanity as it goes against rukes we set out for ourselves and as such is a curiosity.
I wonder as well if the people that glorify killers etc may have unaddressed mental health issues themselves.
@@Bee-gg5mk They all do this!!! It is a form of control!!!

The two most terrifying things about this is that Edd is an almost perfectly average bloke with nothing unusual about him and the second thing is that he got sick of it and turned himself in, he could have gone on killing them for years and years and never been on anyone’s radar
Yeah, nah. He's a cowardly fuck who only turned himself in because he knew he was done & was scared the police were going to kill him.
He is so fascinating to listen to. I can understand why the local cops liked him.
Its incredible how self aware this guy is. In his hindsight he seems to completely understand why he was the way he was, and just exactly how he became the way he was
These guys read a LOT when they're in prison. He's probably a hell of a lot smarter now than before he ended up in prison.
@@zemocon2868 true but I believe he definitely had been analyzing himself for years prior to the killings and already understood the reasoning. He knew that he was different, and his intelligence leads me to believe that he had already made peace with his fate.
@EliaPayne As someone with ASPD diagnosis myself, I find it baffling why people are shocked that we understand ourselves
@@-BUILT_LIKE_A_BAG_OF_MILK understandable its incredible how stupid people are some times its almost like they make it sound like people with ASPD are aliens or something... 🤣🤣🤣
Most seriel killers are self aware and very intelligent otherwise they wouldn't be able to get away with killing for as long as they did
In another life this guy would have been extremely successful in some less harmful way. Dude is extremely bright.
Dude is so bright he landed his ass in prison. He’s not bright he’s a psychopath. Couldn’t figure out how to sleep with girls so he killed them. He’s a narcissistic moron who couldn’t function in society.

His rage was towards his mother and he couldn’t bring himself to do it, So sadly he killed innocent girls thinking it would help release those feelings he had towards his mother. Sad all around, may those beautiful girls rip
I wrote to him for a psychology project a few years ago & we kept in touch for awhile. He’s very forthcoming & interesting, has a very dry sense of humor. He also almost never asks for $ or things like that. He makes no excuses for what he did. He seemed to appreciate the fact I didn’t worship him in anyway, as I remember him saying he gets boatloads of letters that idolize him & his crimes, & he found that a bizarre comment on society. Funny side note: he gave me breakup advice that was probably better advice than I got from any of my friends. I don’t for a second underestimate the monster that lurks beneath his calm demeanor, nor fancied us friends, but it was an extremely interesting correspondence nonetheless. We don’t keep in touch nowadays but I do send him a bday card & $20 on his books every year. His bday is actually in a few days.
Thanks for the upload, very compelling.
What was the advice
@@tommartin7035 I thought my ex might be cheating & my girlfriends told me to let him explain himself & not to rush to make up my mind. In a manner of speaking, he basically said trust your gut & go w/my instinct. Don’t try & talk myself out of anything. He said that we always have a voice telling us something for a reason. He said he never had dates or a girlfriend but over the course of getting to know me he felt confident I was worthy of affection & loyalty & that life was too short to waste my time on someone who didn’t return the favors I had done them.
And he was right.

See it that way: interviewers play him as well because they are getting interesting non stop interviews from him because they know he likes to talk and be social and enjoys being liked. Everyone is well aware that he is a monster and he's enjoying those interviews and analysing himself (and others) and showcasing his intelligence but being aware of all that doesn't mean you can't find him likeable.

Kemper is probably the most fascinating serial killer... definitely the most fascinating to me, because there is such an immense disconnection in personality traits. Clearly his grotesque & horrific actions mark him as one of the most brutal and psychopathic of his 'breed', but he can come across as affable, personable, polite, bright, friendly... y'know, all the things we usually look for in judging people positively. Certainly he's extremely intelligent.
Therein lies the fascination. I can't in good conscience define him solely by his murderous actions, yet I'm keenly aware that, while he draws breath, he will forever be a danger to society. But he has the awareness to know this himself, to the point where he himself has told two parole hearings he was unfit for release.
To be the typical UA-cam 'he's the epitome of evil' commenter is to ignore the deeper issues that lie at the core of some serial killers' motivations. From a clinical perspective, Ed Kemper is a goldmine, because he's very self-aware and extremely bright and lucid. He can provide insights we wouldn't get from a manipulator like a Bundy or a Gacy, or a thick-brained prick like a Tobin or a Toole.
It may be that at times he is a manipulator, evidenced by his earlier memorization of psych and IQ tests, as well as his chilling interaction with the late Robert Ressler. But there is an honesty in him, born out by his surrender after murdering his mother, as well as his openness about redeemable qualities and those times where he acknowledged he may not have any. He never attempts to mitigate his actions by blaming anyone else and he even goes so far as to qualify statements that appear 'self-serving'.
It shows no desire for understanding to write Kemper off without further examination. And he knows it.
He's worth listening to because his honesty corrects the over-simplification of so-called nascent or causal developmental behaviour.
Watch any cheaply made package on Kemper and you'll hear, more often than not, that he took to chopping up his sister's dolls. Pat. Done. Here, Kemper provides context around one incidence where he destroys one doll as an act of revenge.
did you ever consider that Ed Kemper successfully manipulated you into believing that he chose to say he was "unfit" during his parole hearings for altruistic reasons, when in reality he was doing it for selfish reasons? Couldn't his goal have been to simply APPEAR altruistic and remorseful in order to provide himself with favorable circumstances during a later parole hearing?
You also make the assumption that the intentions behind his surrender didn't revolve around the advancement of his own self-serving goals. Isn't it possible that, at the time of his surrender, he was looking forward to the ego boost that would be provided by the ensuing media attention? What if he had become tired of the effort it was taking him to put on the "performance" that was obligated of him in order to avoid discovery and capture? If that's the case, surrender might be a viable solution to that problem. In other words, who's to say there weren't any number of selfish motivations for turning himself in?
You claim he doesn't blame other people for his actions. Yet he repeats over and over that the coeds he picked embodied his mother's values and that he punished and killed those young girls in order to get revenge on his mother for her mistreatment of him. Doesn't that inherently imply that his mother bears some responsibility for what he did?
At the very least, being motivated by a desire to resolve issues with his mother is much more relatable to society than being motivated by the pleasure you receive from controlling, defiling, and destroying another human being.
if torture and murder was simply Ed's maladaptive method of resolving his mommy issues, it kind of implies that the thing he's most accountable for is lacking the knowhow and wherewithal to express himself in a more productive way.
Basically everything he says or does that you've interpreted to be motivated by contrition and regard for others could be motivated by entirely different and more self-centered reasons. Psychopaths are very good at concealing their true intentions in order to get what they want.
If I couldn't relate to other people because I was incapable of empathy and I never burdened with remorsefulness for how my actions effected others, and I valued myself above all other things, and I had a vendetta against the world for not rewarding me in accordance with the great value I place on myself, I could see myself deriving pleasure from unleashing my hatred and asserting my dominance viz a viz murder. If the only times I cared about how others judged me was when it somehow benefited me (e.g. boost my ego, improve my situation, etc.), then I don't see how I would be capable of feeling shame. Shame requires a person to value and respect other people's opinion of my actions. Without shame, there's not much preventing me from seeing what it's like to put my penis in a dead person's mouth. If I don't have any appreciation for other people's dignity, and I had disdain for anyone who got in between me and what I want, there really wouldn't be much to stop me from enjoying the physical sensation of fucking a skull of my bitch mother if it was warm and wet (ew).
Friendly advice: You should be careful around people who present a very convincing case for how considerate their intentions were when everything about their actual actions speaks to deceitfulness and thoughtless cruelty.
Norman Doyle interesting comment.
Norman Doyle you need to chill mate. Hes fooling you like he did those women

Thanks for sharing.
Agreed
If only he'd focused more on basketball.
....instead he played kickball, and other activities , with human heads.
Considering his height
Part of why I find him so fascinating is that he knows he’s where he needs to be.
He's compensating for all the talking he didn't do when he was young.
That’s… Actually a really good point I haven’t heard before. Everything we’ve read about Kemper paints him as a child as disturbed, quiet and abused. Starved of positive attention from his mom and sisters. I’m sure a large part of him loves how much attention his crimes have gotten him, he gets to show off his intellect, his size, his disturbingly agreeable nature.
Agree with this. Violent criminals crave attention, usually because it's what they have been deprived of early in their life. That's why I think the media have a big role to play in motivating would be violent criminals. They effectively glorify the killings. They'd be better off only showing pictures of violent criminals in a pathetic or weak state, so no one would want to mimic their behavior.
People who were brought up fairly normally (most of them) have no concept and don’t appear to be able to comprehend what it’s like to grow up with physical and mental abuse. It can cripple you for life no matter how hard one tries.
Psychopaths are notoriously manipulative. This is demonstrated in this interview.
Exactly what I thought. Crazy.
He's the the hero of every story he tells.

He's so cleared and vivid in Psycho analysis, he would've been a perfect professor on subject.
he was a model prisoner because his mom doesn't work at the prison

Dennis rader (btk) Rodney alcala ( dating game killer) had stable childhoods with loving parents. Became serial killers. Background may contribute but nothing more. It is an individual choice and part of their personality
Sometimes I’m wondering “if I have self-awareness, Can I still able to become insane?”
This man has proved that one can still be insane even though he has conscious and self awareness.
And he’s very intelligent.
The interviewer may as well have been a potted plant. Kemper is more capable of insight and self reflection about his crimes than the questioner can probe. The interview would be of more value if Kemper simply self analyzed.
Maybe that’s why he picked this one to agree to sit with ?? A lot of time on his own head to think about how he would agree to be interviewed by
This was almost 30 years ago. In those days it was very uncommon for interviewers to ask critical questions. Also, I disagree that is such a bad thing. It is far more interesting to watch what an interviewee has to say than some pissing contest between two people where the interviewer wants to ' expose' the interviewee.
Good luck with that too when talking to someone with such high intelligence. You'd have to be extremely cunning. Even then, the most likely tactic to work is to let him talk on and on, so he'll get himself stuck.
Most interviewers today want to be too much part of the interview. The reason this whole video is interesting is the serial killer, not the person who interviews him. When this wouldve happened in 2020, it wouldve probably been the interviewers show where the interviewer would try to get as much exposure for himself. In this interview it is about the interviewee. Far better. Interviewers who are working now should take notes.

I used to cut my dolls open to see what was inside of them, but I would never in a million years think about hurting an animal .. I even became a vegan, but my interest in this subject has never left me in 73 years.

Big Ed has a great sense of humor, it's hard not to smile at his jokes. He shocks you with his clarity and awareness. He analyzes himself with confidence, uses refined language, a calm and deep tone of voice. You wouldn't think someone who killed his grandparents in cold blood and dismembered eight women could talk like that. You could listen to him for hours.
My dears, I advise you not to be fooled. Although it is difficult to resist Kemper's manipulation, do not stop at the victimhood with which he describes his childhood, which certainly was tragic. Because behind the candor with which he talks about himself, there is a narcissistic ego whose dimensions are even larger than those of his body. There is no room for the victims in Ed's stories, there is only him. His interviews are rich monologues in which Kemper never allows himself to be interrupted. Only when he talks about the murder of his mother he seems to break down slightly. Is it an act? Ed gives the impression of having observed people's emotions and trying to reproduce them as he speaks when in reality he doesn't feel any. There is never repentance for the atrocities he committed and not even responsibility. He is the victim! He did what he did because of his mother. If Clarnell hadn't behaved like that, those girls would still be alive. The psychiatrists, the staff of Atascadero hospital, the police, the student girls and the entire community of Santa Cruz, they all got deceived by Kemper's manipulative genius. Big Ed is like that: the day before he is the gentle giant of the city who has a kind word for everyone, the ideal drinking buddy with an always ready joke, and the next day he is the one who kills one or more girls and have sex with their corpses before behead them. It's always him, Big Ed.
-Quote: Francesco Migliaccio, Demoni Urbani.
This is an important interview, but the interviewer needs to shut up! All his questions stop Kemper’s insightful monologues.
Kemper will tell you exactly what his motives were and why. All an interviewer needs to do is start him talking. He’s very intelligent. He will tell his story in very articulate terms.
Kemper knows about his own motivations. His crimes are horrific. His insights are important.
.
He finally found his time to get someone to listen. It is SO fucking sad that he did these horrible things, and it's so sad that his childhood obviously played a huge part in what he did.
stop feeling sympathy for this monster.
also, he was a sicko even before his childhood. he killed his cat and got aroused by thinking about women being killed even before he was abused.
There are people with way worse lives that don’t do that shit
This guy needed a big positive bro giving him good advice in life before he did that, being alone in your thoughts for so long and being belittled can turn a man crazy
Vaishnavi Ramesh
Well the very reason he was living with his grandparents is because his mother was abusing him. He had a f*cked up childhood.
Vaishnavi Ramesh
A child needs love and affection, wich he never had from his mother. Hell even his father hated her (and it was probably mutual). If, from the first day of your existence, you don't feel loved and desired I believe it can really mess your brain up.
Let's be clear: There is no excuse for what he did. But I refuse to believe that one can simply be born like this. From what I've seen/read there's always an explanation.
Btw his mother probably had a tough childhood and/or life too, to behave like this with her own son.
Oh and I strongly recommend you read the ishmyl comment (and part of the thread that follows) below. Way more interesting and articulate than what I can provide with my current level in english. :p
Vaishnavi Ramesh
Ok, I agree.
So maybe we can say that nature made him psychotic (or whatever he really is) and then nurture made him a serial killer.
Edmund Kemper had a healthy positive relationship with his father. However, he mostly stayed with his abusive mother which is a big factor.
I have heard that Ed recorded some audiobooks in jail. I'm just wondering are they available while I find myself listening his voice at nights. Such a comforting background noise while reading
I've been a life long fan of watching forensic files and documentaries of this type and this dude seems by far the most intelligent I've seen. I was shocked to know his IQ was 145. Just 15 away from Albert Eisenstein. He has such a deep physcie and vocabulary.
Eisenstein???Einstein was obviously obviously exceptional mind and profoundly,historically rarely gifted but I think he himself said it was his persistence and creativity were what let him achieve what he achieved(but 160 iq is pretty absurd as well).
If I had to guess, I'd say he talked his victims to death
Prolly he recorded himself and played the audio of his memories and anecdotes till the victims decide they should suicide.
Those psichos are so scaring.
Jeez... haha
