But 34-year old Israel Keyes killed himself soon after confessing to his killing, choosing to take the cowards way out instead of facing prosecution.For nearly a decade, Keyes lived life like a seemingly ordinary man. After finishing his service in the U.S. Military, he set up his Construction business. After settling into Alaska, he used his job as a contractor to travel to different states to do jobs, but more importantly to commit his crimes. On March 16, 2012, he was arrested in Texas when he used a debit card owned by a young girl named Samantha Koenig. His rental car license plate was caught by an ATM camera which led authorities directly to him. See Eighteen-year-old, Samantha was an Alaskan native who worked as a barista at a coffee stand in Anchorage. In February of 2012 someone had kidnapped her from her workplace. #2 Fritz HaarmannFritz Haarmann’s guillotined head had been preserved in formaldehyde for medical and research purposes for 89 years before it was finally cremated by the University of Goettingen's medical department in 2015.For most people, the name might not ring a bell but Haarmann was a true pioneer – in serial killing. Dubbed as “The Butcher of Hanover” and “The Vampire of Hanover,” he was born in hanover, germany in 1879, the youngest of 6 children. At a young age he would manifest his deviancy by tying up his sisters, dressing up in their clothes and even going around at night tapping on neighbor’s windows to make it seem like something supernatural was happening. By the time he was 17, he was arrested for molesting several children. As a result, he was thrown in an asylum where he was to spend the rest of his life. However, he managed to escape to Switzerland and stayed there for 16 months before making his way back to Hanover. When he got back, he enlisted in the army but was discharged due to a medical condition. Afterwards, he got married and tried his hand at leading a normal life. But In the end, he left his wife and child after accusing her of having an affair. From then on, Haarmann pursued a life of petty crime and eventually horrendous acts of violence.Support the show
