Dennis Rader aka The BTK Killer (BTK=Bind Torture Kill)
In 2005 he was convicted of 10 murders in the Wichita Kansas Area. He started his killing in 1974 and stopped in 1991.
“He sent boastful letters describing the details of the killings to police and to local news outlets during the period of time in which the murders took place. After a long hiatus in the 1990s, he resumed sending letters in 2004, leading to his 2005 arrest and subsequent conviction.”
The police nicenamed him the BTK killer because that was his MO or Modus Operani basically just another way of saying the way he killed people.

Edward Gein
Born August 27, 1906 in Vernon Wisconson
He was found guilty by reason of insanity of only two murders, but there were a ton of body parts found in his house some were from people he had killed and some were from bodies he had dug up from the cemetary.
“Augusta Gein, his mother,was a fervent Lutheran, drummed into her boys the innate immorality of the world, the evil of drink, and the belief that all women (herself excluded) were prostitutes, and instruments of the devil. She reserved time every afternoon to read to them from the Bible, usually selecting graphic verses from the Old Testament dealing with death, murder, and divine retribution”
It is believed that Gein was romantically in love with his mother and went crazy after her death.
