21. Edmund Kemper has an extremely high IQ, and was such an intelligent sociopath that in the end, he wanted to be caught because he knew that what he was doing was morally wrong, despite his lack of ability to feel empathy.
He also spent some of his time in prison helping state psychologists learn how to understand psychotic inmates better; partially by helping them form questionnaires that would be more telling.
22. Ted Bundy was actively involved in politics and there was talk that he may one day become the governor of Washington.
Also he confessed to his lawyer that he killed over 100 people, far more than the thirty or so he was charged with.
23. Ed Gein’s desire to become his mother is what inspired Norman Bates from the Novel “Psycho”, which later became the Alfred Hitchcock film. His house full of skin and bones inspired Leatherface and his behavior from “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre”. And his overall desire to become a woman inspired Buffalo Bill from “Silence Of The Lambs”.
