If people are wondering how someone can get away with killing so many people. Serial killers hunt inside their own communities almost exclusively. Otherwise they would not be able to blend in. What do you think American law enforcements reaction is to 60 dead or missing people in black communities?
93 confessed/admitted to, not 38.
This list of serial killers is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.
Gotta catch em all!
Didn’t Ridgeway do 72?
What is the difference between confirmed kills and admitted kills?

Just because a killer confesses to killing someone, doesn’t necessarily mean they did the deed.
If a serial killer is into notoriety and self promotion they might be willing to confess to anything. The police might want to shut a bunch of cold cases and the killer will happily admit to them, whether or not they were involved.
This famously happened in the case of Henry Lee Lucas
I feel like he is stepping on a classic white dude’s crime. Way to break the glass ceiling!
There are several serial killers that are in the hundreds, so no. No they are not.
He’s the most prolific in the US.
I’m sure that’s what OP meant but there are more prolific serial killers in South America, Asia, and Russia:
They did say “in America”. Perhaps he’s towards the top for confirmed kills, though if we include credible suspicions, there are many terrible people that didn’t deserve even the concept of freedom.
Maybe my brain is just really fucked up, but 60 seems really really low…
Feels like you could walk into any overly crowded place like a concert, or a sports game and beat that number in about 20 seconds with the right gun.
I would have expected the number to be in the hundreds, or even thousands. I thought it was going to be Timmothy McVeigh. Assuming we’re disqualifying the 9/11 terrorists due to being not a singular person.
That would be a mass killing (many murders in one session) not serial killings (many murders spread out over time).
Those would be parallel killers rather than serial killers.
