Serial killer with a high IQ of 145

On August 27, 1964, Edmund Kemper, a disturbed 15-year-old boy, shot and killed his grandmother while she was editing a book. Kemper then stabbed her three times to ensure that she was dead. He carried her body up to a bedroom, waited for his grandfather to return home, and shot him with a rifle, after greeting him. By the age of 15, Kemper was already a deeply troubled individual, who was massive in height and build, and had an exceptionally high IQ. He was not like other kids and would not be like other adults unless it was usual to sleep with the heads of women he had killed. Kemper attributed this behavior to his mother, Clarnell Kemper, who was difficult to please, despite achieving great heights in her career as the President of the National Federation of Federal Employees. She met Edmund Kemper Sr., who was a special forces commando, and they had a son, Edmund Kemper III. When Kemper Sr. returned from war, he was wounded both physically and mentally and was no longer the man Clarnell admired. This caused her to become disappointed in him, and he eventually left the family home, leaving Kemper III to become the sole focus of Clarnell's frustration and failures. Growing up, Kemper III was bullied and harassed by his sisters, and his mother used them to belittle him at every opportunity. Clarnell even locked Kemper III in a basement in the dark, where he was forced to sleep with rats. She eventually moved his bedroom down there, and he would fantasize about violence, beheading the family cat, and keeping its skull in his closet. Clarnell tried and failed to meet a man who lived up to her high expectations, and for all her woes, she blamed Kemper III, the product of the man who had left her. Edmund cried for days, pleading with his mother to let him go live with his father, who eventually took possession of him. Kemper III moved in with his grandparents, who showered him with love and gifts,

Despite being treated well by his grandparents, Ed Kemper still struggled with his inner demons. He had a fascination with death and violence, and he would often experiment with killing animals. He would decapitate his victims and even keep their skulls as souvenirs. His fascination with death only grew stronger as he got older.

At 15, Ed was sent to live with his mother once again. His mother's constant belittling and verbal abuse pushed him over the edge. He started to fantasize about murdering his mother and even went as far as to plan her murder. In 1964, Ed finally snapped and killed his mother and his grandparents. He then drove to the police station and turned himself in.

Ed was sentenced to life imprisonment, where he would become one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. His story shocked the nation, and many people were left wondering how a person could become so twisted and evil.

One theory is that Ed's childhood trauma played a significant role in his development as a serial killer. The constant abuse and neglect he suffered at the hands of his mother left him emotionally scarred and traumatized. He was never able to develop healthy coping mechanisms, and he turned to violence as a way to deal with his pain.

Ed's case also sheds light on the importance of mental health services and support for individuals who have experienced trauma. It's important to recognize the signs of trauma and to provide individuals with the support they need to heal and recover. Failure to do so can lead to tragic outcomes, such as what happened in Ed's case.

Overall, Ed Kemper's story is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk within the human mind. It's a cautionary tale of the dangers of untreated trauma and the importance of recognizing and treating mental health issues. Ed's case will continue to fascinate and horrify people for years to come, and his story serves as a warning to us all to pay attention to our mental health and seek help when we need it.
