Top 10 American Serial Killers
Many years ago we wrote the definitive list of Serial Killers. That 2007 list ranked killers based on various factors, only one of which was their death toll. It included a variety of nations. This new list is a little more precise: focussing on American male killers only and ranking based on the verified death toll. Consider this a bit of housekeeping. A future list will look at female killers, though there is only one who had sufficient kills to be included on this list based on the death toll, and she is added as a bonus item.

Top 10 Serial Killers Who Had Even Creepier Admirers
Over the years, there have been many cases of highly intelligent individuals becoming infatuated with convicted serial killers to the point of obsession. Some have even married them behind bars. Sheila Isenberg, the author of “Women Who Love Men Who Kill”, explains in her book that there are numerous reasons behind this phenomenon. Some of these individuals might have been abused by a partner or parent themselves, some simply enjoyed the thrill of knowing where their “boyfriend” was at all times and others were simply involved for the fame and attention. The following cases all describe cases of “fans” who came across as very creepy to the public as they stopped at nothing – sometimes even turning to murder themselves – in order to get up close to the serial killer.

Beating a DNA Test - Trickery Gone Wrong
Winter shutdown. This is my favorite time of the year. I get at least 2 weeks off during this time. What makes it more fun is the two major holidays – Christmas and New Year. For someone who likes to shop cheap, Boxing Day is a huge deal for me. It is the Canadian version of Black Friday in the US. More shopping, more fun.

Scott Peterson: The Monster Within
My mild OCD has been present for as long as I can remember: the constant resets, the inevitable restarts, the never-ending rewinds. Though my symptoms have taken shape much differently in adulthood, including those representative of skin-picking disorder (SPD), there's one obsession I've not been able to let go of: locking the front door.

"I Don't Like Mondays"
America has a history of school shootings dating all the way back to 1764 in which the schoolmaster of a settlers' log schoolhouse and ten students were killed during Pontiac's Rebellion. The ones that most likely come to mind are those with the highest body counts, which include the ones committed at Virginia Tech (the highest one to date with thirty-three deaths), Columbine High School, and Sandy Hook Elementary School. As shocking as those were, many people might be unfamiliar with the first-ever school shooting committed by a female. She may not have had the highest body count, but she managed to carry it all out without having to step foot onto the property. Brenda Ann Spencer told those around her that she wanted to do something big to get on TV, and she got her wish.
