John Wayne Gacyhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../Waynegacy.jpg
(March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994) was an Americanserial killer.
He was convicted and later executed for the rape and murder of 33 boys and young men between 1972 and his arrest in 1978, 27 of whom he buried in a crawl space under the floor of his house, while others were found in nearby rivers. He became notorious as the "Killer Clown" because of the many block parties he threw for his friends and neighbors, entertaining children in a clown suit and makeup, under the name of "Pogo the Clown."
Early life
Born John Wayne Gacy, Jr. in Chicago, Illinois, the second of three children,[1] he was raised a Catholic in a suburb of Chicago. He had a troubled relationship with his father, John Samuel Gacy, Sr. (June 20, 1900 - December 25, 1969), a physically abusivealcoholic who often called his son a "sissy."[2] He was close to his mother, Marion Elaine Robinson or Robertson (as listed in Cook County Marriage Index) (May 4, 1908 –[December 1, 1989).[3]
When Gacy was 11, he was struck on the forehead by a swing. The resulting head trauma formed a blood clot in his brain which went unnoticed until he was 16, when he began to suffer blackouts. He was then prescribed medication to dissolve the clot. [4][5]
After attending four high schools, Gacy dropped out before completing his senior year and left his family, heading west. After running out of money in Las Vegas, he worked long enough to earn money to travel back home to Chicago. Without returning to high school, he enrolled in and eventually graduated from Northwestern Business College.[6][7] A job selling shoes followed shortly after graduation, and in 1964 the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company transferred Gacy to Springfield, Illinois. In September of 1964, Gacy married Marlynn Myers. He became active in local Springfield organizations, joining the Jaycees and rising to vice-president of the Springfield chapter by 1965.[8]
Marlynn's parents, who had purchased a group of Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises, offered John a job as manager of a Waterloo, Iowa KFC, and the Gacys moved there from Springfield.[9]
[edit] Imprisonment, divorce, parole
The Gacys settled in Waterloo and had two children, a son and a daughter. Gacy worked hard at his KFC franchise but still found time to again join the Jaycees.[10] Rumors of Gacy's homosexuality began to spread but did not stop him from being named "outstanding vice-president" of the Waterloo Jaycees in 1967.[11] However, there was a seamier side of Jaycee life in Waterloo, one that involved prostitution, pornography, and drugs, one which John Gacy was deeply involved with. Gacy himself was cheating on his wife regularly.[12] At the same time Gacy opened a "club" in his basement for the young boys of Waterloo, where he allowed them to drink alcohol but made sexual advances towards them.[13]
Gacy's middle class idyll in Waterloo came crashing down in March 1968 when two different Waterloo boys, aged sixteen and fifteen, accused him of sexually assaulting them.[14] Gacy professed his innocence and it appeared he might beat the charges, but in August of that year he hired another Waterloo youth to beat up one of his accusers. Gacy's henchman was caught and confessed all, and Gacy was arrested.[15] Before the year was out he was convicted of sodomy and sentenced to ten years in prison.[16]
Imprisonment was rapidly followed by his wife's petition for divorce. Gacy and his wife were divorced in 1969. He never saw his children again.[17] During his incarceration, Gacy's father died from liver cirrhosis, on Christmas Day 1969.[18] He was paroled in 1970, after serving 18 months. After Gacy was released, he moved back to Illinois to live with his mother.[19] He successfully hid this criminal record until police began investigating him for his later murders.

Gacy with Rosalynn Carter, 1978
Gacy moved in with his mother and got a job as a chef in a Chicago restaurant.[20] In 1971, with his mother's financial assistance, he bought a house at 8213 West Summerdale Avenue, in an unincorporated area of Norwood Park Township, Cook County,[21] which is surrounded by the northwest side Chicago neighborhood of Norwood Park. The house had a four-foot deep crawl space under the floor.[22]
On February 12, 1971, Gacy was charged with disorderly conduct; a teenaged boy claimed that Gacy picked him up and tried to force him into sex. The complaint was dropped when the boy did not show up in court. The Iowa Board of Parole did not learn of this and Gacy was discharged from parole in October 1971.[23] On June 22, 1972, Gacy was arrested again and charged with battery after another young man said that Gacy flashed a sheriff's badge, lured him into Gacy's car, and forced him into sex. Again, charges were dropped.[24]
In June of 1972, Gacy married again, to Carole Hoff, an acquaintance from his teenaged years. Hoff and her two daughters moved into the Summerdale home.[25] In 1975, Gacy started his own business, PDM Contractors, a construction company.[26] At the same time, his marriage began to deteriorate. The Gacys' sex life came to a halt, and John would go out late and stay out all night.[27] Carole found wallets with IDs from young men lying around. John began bringing gay pornography into the house.[28] The Gacys divorced in March 1976.[29]
Gacy became active in the local Democratic Party, first volunteering to clean the party offices.[30] In 1975 and 1976 he served on the Norwood Park Township street lighting committee.[31] He eventually earned the title of precinct captain.[32] In this capacity, he met and was photographed with First LadyRosalynn Carter, who was in town for the annual Polish Constitution Day Parade, held on May 6. Gacy was directing the parade that year, for the third year in a row. Carter posed for pictures with Gacy and autographed the photo "To John Gacy. Best Wishes. Rosalynn Carter". In the picture Gacy is wearing an "S" pin, indicating a person who has received special clearance by the Secret Service.[33] During the search of Gacy's house after his arrest, this photo caused a major embarrassment to the Secret Service.[34]
[edit] Murders
In July of 1975, one of Gacy's employees, John Butkovich, disappeared. Butkovich had recently left Gacy's employ after an angry argument over back pay Butkovich was owed. Butkovich's parents urged police to check out John Gacy, but nothing came of it and the young man's disappearance went unsolved.[35]
After Gacy's divorce, the killings began in earnest, and Chicago police would miss several more chances to stop John Gacy. In December of 1976 another Gacy employee, Gregory Godzik, disappeared, and his parents asked police to investigate John Gacy, one of the last people known to have spoken to the boy. But in neither case did the police pursue Gacy and in neither case did they discover his criminal record.[36] In January 1977 John Szyc, an acquaintance of Butkovich, Godzik, and Gacy, disappeared. Later that year another of Gacy's employees was arrested for stealing gasoline from a station; the car he was driving had belonged to Szyc. Gacy said that Szyc had sold the car to him before leaving town, and the police failed to pursue the matter further.[37]
Not all of Gacy's victims died. In March of 1978, Gacy lured Jeffrey Rignall into his car. Gacy chloroformed the young man, took him back to the house on Summerdale, raped and tortured him, and dumped him, alive, in Lincoln Park. Police drew a blank, but Rignall remembered, through the chloroform haze of that night, a black Oldsmobile, the Kennedy Expressway, and some side streets. He staked out the exit on the Expressway until he saw the black Oldsmobile, which he followed to 8213 West Summerdale. Police issued a warrant,[38] and arrested Gacy on July 15. He was still facing trial on a battery charge for the Rignall incident when he was arrested in December for all the other murders.[39] In December 1977, still another victim, a 19-year-old boy, complained that Gacy had kidnapped him at gunpoint and forced him into sex. Yet again, Chicago police took no action.[40]
Gacy's downfall came in December 1978, following his last murder because of one simple act of carelessness: killing a boy who lived in his own neighborhood. Robert Piest, a fifteen-year-old boy, disappeared on December 11 from the Des Plaines, Illinois pharmacy where he worked after school. Just before he vanished, Piest told a co-worker he was going to a house down the street to talk to "some contractor" about a job.[41] John Gacy had been at the pharmacy that night discussing a remodeling job with the owner. Gacy denied talking to Piest when Des Plaines police called him the next day,[42] but the Des Plaines police did what Chicago police failed to do and checked Gacy's record, discovering that he had done time for sodomy.[43] A search of Gacy's house on December 13 turned up some suspicious items--a 1975 high school class ring, drivers' licenses for other people, handcuffs, a two-by-four with holes drilled in the ends, a syringe, clothing too small for Gacy, and a photo receipt from the pharmacy where Robert Piest worked. Detectives noticed an offensive odor coming from the crawlspace beneath the house.[44]
Further investigation revealed that a Gacy employee, Gregory Godzik, had disappeared. The high school ring was traced to John Szyc, also missing.[45] From Gacy's second wife they learned of John Butkovich, missing since 1975.[46]
On December 21, 1978, one of Gacy's employees told the police that Gacy had confessed to over thirty murders.[47] Shortly thereafter Gacy was arrested for marijuana possession.[48] Police took out a second warrant, went back to the house on Summerdale, and found human bones in the crawlspace.[49] Gacy then confessed to some 25-30 murders, telling investigators that most were buried in the crawlspace and on his property and that he threw the last five, after the crawlspace was full, off the I-55 bridge and into the Des Plaines River, including that of Piest.[50] Gacy drew police a diagram of his crawlspace to show where the bodies were buried.[51]
Gacy told the police that he would pick up male teenage runaways or male prostitutes off the streets, and take them back to his house with either promising them money for sex, or just grab them by force. Gacy would often stick clothing in their mouths to muffle their screams. After he would choke them with a rope or a board as he sexually assaulted them. Gacy would also keep the bodies with him for as long as decomposition would allow. He picked up at least one of his victims at the bus station. The youngest identified victims were Samuel Stapleton and Michael Marino, both 14 years old; the oldest were Russell Nelson and James Mazzara, both 21 years old. Eight of the victims were so badly decomposed that they were never identified. Twenty-nine bodies were found in Gacy's crawlspace and on his property between December 1978 and March 1979.[52] Robert Piest's body was discovered in the Des Plaines River on April 9.[53]
[edit] Trial and execution
On February 6, 1980, Gacy's trial began in Chicago.[54] During the trial, he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. However, this plea was rejected outright; Gacy's lawyer, Sam Amirante, said that Gacy had moments of temporary insanity at the time of each individual murder, but regained his sanity before and after to lure and dispose of victims.
While on trial, Gacy joked that the only thing he was guilty of was "running a cemetery without a license." At one point in the trial, Gacy's defense also tried to claim that all 33 murders were accidental deaths as part of erotic asphyxia, but the Cook CountyCoroner countered this assertion with evidence that Gacy's claim was impossible. Gacy had also made an earlier confession to police, and was unable to have this evidence suppressed. He was found guilty on March 13 and sentenced to death.
On May 10, 1994, Gacy was executed at Stateville Correctional Center[55] in Crest Hill, Illinois, by lethal injection. His last meal consisted of a dozen deep fried shrimp, a bucket of original recipe chicken from KFC, a pound of fresh strawberries and French fries. His execution was a minor media sensation, and large crowds of people gathered for "execution parties" outside the penitentiary, with numerous arrests for public intoxication, open container violations, and disorderly conduct. Vendors sold Gacy-related T-shirts and other merchandise, and the crowd cheered at the moment when Gacy was pronounced dead.
According to reports, Gacy did not express remorse. His last words to his lawyer in his cell were to the effect that killing him would not bring anyone back, and it is reported his last words were "kiss my ass," which he said to a correctional officer while he was being sent to the execution chamber.[56]
Before the execution began, the lethal chemicals unexpectedly solidified, clogging the IV tube that led into Gacy's arm, and prevented any further passage. Blinds covering the window through which witnesses observed the execution were drawn, and the execution team replaced the clogged tube with a new one. Ten minutes later, the blinds were reopened and the execution resumed. It took 18 minutes to complete.[57]Anesthesiologists blamed the problem on the inexperience of prison officials who were conducting the execution, saying that proper procedures taught in "IV 101" would have prevented the error. This apparently led to Illinois' adoption of a different method of lethal injection. On this subject, the chief prosecutor at Gacy's trial, William Kunkle, said "He still got a much easier death than any of his victims."
After his execution, Gacy's brain was removed. It is currently in the possession of Dr. Helen Morrison, who interviewed Gacy and other serial killers in an attempt to isolate common personality traits of violent sociopaths; however, an examination of Gacy's brain after his execution by the forensic psychiatrist hired by his lawyers revealed no abnormalities.

Andrei Chikatilo
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...lo-mugshot.jpg
Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo (Russian: Андрей Романович Чикати́ло) (October 16, 1936 – February 14, 1994) was a notorious Russian serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov, The Red Ripper or The Rostov Ripper. He was convicted of the murders of 52 women and children mostly in the Russian SFSR between 1978 and 1990 (some victims were murdered in the Ukrainian SSR and in the Uzbek SSR).
Early life
Andrei Chikatilo was born in the village of Yablochnoye, Ukraine. When the Soviet Union entered World War II, his father was called to the army. Chikatilo had to share a bed with his mother. He was a chronic bed wetter, and his mother beat and humiliated him for each offense.
The war years were traumatic ones for Chikatilo. During the Ukrainian famine, Stalin forced Ukranian farmers to hand in their entire crop for statewide distribution. Mass starvation ran rampant throughout the Ukraine, and incidents of cannibalism soared. Chikatilo's mother told him that his older brother Stepan had been kidnapped and cannibalized by starving neighbors; It has never been independently established whether this actually happened.[1] During the war, Chikatilo witnessed some of the effects of German bombing raids, which both frightened and excited him.[2] In 1949, Chikatilo's father, who had been captured, returned home; Instead of being rewarded for his war service, he was branded a traitor for surrendering to the Germans.[3] As he grew older, Chikatilo learned he suffered from chronic impotence, worsening his social awkwardness and deep-seated anger. [4]
Chikatilo was a good student, and set his sights on Moscow State University, where he hoped to achieve a law degree. Chikatilo failed the entrance exam, however. After finishing his mandatory military service in 1960, he moved to Rodionovo-Nesvetayevsky and worked as a telephone engineer. Chikatilo's only sexual experience in adolescence was when he, aged 18, jumped on a 13-year-old girl (his sister's friend) and wrestled her to the ground, ejaculating as the girl struggled in his grasp.[5]
In 1963, Chikatilo married a woman that his younger sister introduced him to. The couple had a son and daughter. Chikatilo later claimed that his marital sex life was minimal and that he would ejaculate on his wife and push the semen inside her with his fingers. In 1965, their daughter Luda was born. A year later, they had a son named Yura. In 1971, Chikatilo completed a degree in Russian literature by a correspondence course and tried a career as a teacher in Novoshakhtinsk. His career ended after several complaints of child molestation, however.[6] He eventually took a job as a clerk for a factory.
Beginning of the murders
In 1978, Chikatilo moved to Shakhty, a small coal-mining town near Rostov-on-Don, where he committed his first documented murder. On 22 December, he lured a nine-year-old girl to an old house (which he had purchased in secret) and attempted to rape her but failed to achieve an erection. When the girl struggled, he stabbed her to death. He ejaculated in the process of knifing the child. From then on Chikatilo was only able to achieve sexual arousal and orgasm through stabbing and slashing women and children to death. Despite evidence linking Chikatilo to the girl's death, a young man, Alexsandr Kravchenko, was arrested, tried and confessed under torture. He was executed for the crime.
He did not murder again until 1982, but in that year he killed several times. Chikatilo established a pattern of approaching runaways and young vagrants at bus or railway stations, enticing them to a nearby forest, and killing them. In 1983, his murdering did not begin until June, but he murdered four victims before September. His victims were all women and children. The adult females were often prostitutes or homeless women who could be lured with promises of alcohol or money. Chikatilo would typically attempt intercourse with his adult female victims, but he would usually be unable to get an erection, which would send him into a murderous fury, particularly if the woman mocked his impotence. He would achieve orgasm only when he stabbed the victim to death. His child victims were of both sexes; Chikatilo would lure them to secluded areas by promising them toys or candy.
Six bodies (out of 14) had been uncovered by 1983. A Moscow police team, headed by Major Mikhail Fetisov, was sent to Rostov-on-Don to direct the investigation. Fetisov centered the investigations around Shakhty and assigned a specialist forensic analyst, Victor Burakov, to head the investigation. The police effort concentrated on mentally ill citizens in the area and known sex offenders, slowly working through all that were known and eliminating them from the inquiry. A number of young men confessed to the murders, although they were usually mentally handicapped youths who had admitted to the crimes only under prolonged and often brutal interrogation. One under-age homosexual suspect committed suicide in his detention cell. In 1984, another 15 murders took place. The police took to additional patrols and posted plain-clothes men at many public transport stops.
Arrest and release
Chikatilo was identified behaving suspiciously at a Rostov bus station. He was arrested and held. It was found he was under investigation for minor theft at one of his former employers, which gave the investigators the legal right to hold him for a prolonged period of time. Chikatilo's dubious background was uncovered but provided insufficient evidence to convict him of the murders. He was found guilty on other matters and sentenced to one year in prison. He was freed in December 1984 after serving three months.
Later murders and the manhunt
Chikatilo found new work in Novocherkassk and kept a low profile. He did not kill again until August 1985, when he murdered two women in separate incidents. He is not known to have killed again until May 1987 when, on a business trip to Revda in Ukraine, he killed a young boy. He killed again in Zaporozhye in July and in Leningrad in September.
The moribund police investigation was revived in mid-1985 when Issa Kostoyev was appointed to take over the case. The known murders around Rostov were carefully re-investigated and there was another round of questioning of known sex offenders. In December 1985, the police renewed the patrolling of railway stations around Rostov. Chikatilo followed the investigation carefully, and for over two years he kept his desires under control. The police also took the step of consulting a psychiatrist, the first such consultation in a serial killer investigation in that country.
In 1988 Chikatilo resumed killing, generally keeping his activities far from the Rostov area. He murdered a woman in Krasny-Sulin in April and went on to kill another eight people that year, including two victims in Shakhty. Again there was a long lapse before Chikatilo resumed killing, murdering seven boys and two women between January and November 1990.
The discovery of more victims led a massive operation by the police. A part of the operation involved a large number of the force patrolling train and bus stations as well as other public places around Rostov area. Major bus and train stations were patrolled by the police force wearing uniforms. Smaller and less busy stations were patrolled by undercover agents. The idea behind this was as follows: the police were hoping that after seeing numerous police force at large train and bus stations, the serial killer would rather attempt to find a victim at a smaller station, where the presence of police was not apparent. The operation also involved a large number of young female agents dressed like prostitutes or homeless people. They kept wandering aimlessly in and around stations as well as traveling extensively along the routes where dead bodies were found.
On 6 November, Chikatilo killed and mutilated Sveta Korostik. While leaving the crime scene, he was stopped by an undercover policeman who was patrolling the Leskhoz train station and saw Chikatilo approaching from the woods. According to the policeman, he looked suspicious. The only reason for someone to go into the woods at that time of year was to gather wild mushrooms (a popular pastime in Russia). However, Chikatilo was not dressed like a typical forest hiker. He was wearing rather formal attire. Moreover, he had a nylon sports-bag, which was not suitable for carrying mushrooms. Secondly, his clothing was dirty and he had what looked like smeared blood stains on his cheek and ear. The policeman stopped Chikatilo and checked his papers. Having no formal reason for arrest, the policeman let him go. Had the policeman checked Chikatilo's bag, he would have found the amputated breasts of Sveta Korostik. When the policeman came back to his office, he filed a formal routine report, indicating the name of the person he stopped at the train station. Shortly after the encounter, the police found two dead bodies, 30 feet apart, near the train station Leskhoz. It was determined that one of the victims was killed around the date of the police report filed about this suspicious man near the Leskhoz station. It was the second time Chikatilo was indirectly associated with a murder of a child (the first one was in 1978, when a witness reported seeing a man whose description matched Chikatilo with a girl who was later found dead).
Final arrest and Chikatilo's confession
Even after the incident, the police still didn't have enough evidence for arrest and prosecution. However, Chikatilo was put on 24/7 watch by the police. He was constantly followed and videotaped by undercover agents. On 20 November 1990, Chikatilo left his house with a one gallon flask for beer (at that time, one could hardly buy bottled beer in the Soviet Union; one could only buy beer from a mobile beer station or café selling beer by volume; but even this type of beer was hard to find). Chikatilo kept wandering around the city with the flask. He kept attempting to make contact with children he met on his way. Finally, he entered a small cafe where he bought 300ml of beer (the police force wondered why anyone would wander around the city for several hours just to buy 300ml of beer). The fact that he kept approaching children triggered the decision by the police force to arrest him when he exited the cafe.
Again, the police had 10 days to either charge Chikatilo with murders or to let him go. Upon arrest, the police uncovered another piece of evidence against Chikatilo. One of his last victims was a physically strong (although mentally challenged) 16 year old boy. At the crime scene, the police had found numerous signs of physical struggle between the victim and his murderer. One of Chikatilo’s fingers had a relatively fresh wound. Medical examiners concluded the wound was, in fact, from a human bite. In fact, his finger bone was broken. Chikatilo never sought medical attention for the wound.
The strategy chosen by the police force to make him confess was somewhat unusual for the police at that time. One of the chief interrogators kept telling Chikatilo that they all believed he was a very sick man and needed medical help. This gave Chikatilo hope that if he confessed, he wouldn't be prosecuted by reason of insanity. Finally a psychiatrist was invited to "help" Chikatilo (involvement of a psychiatrist during investigation was something the police had never done before). The psychiatrist was very sympathetic to Chikatilo's mental problems. After a very long conversation, Chikatilo confessed to the murders. Again, confession was not enough to prosecute him. Interrogators still needed hard evidence. Chikatilo volunteered to provide evidence – he showed buried bodies that the police hadn't discovered yet. That was it: police had enough evidence to put him on trial. Between November 30 and December 5, Chikatilo confessed to and described 56 murders. Three of the victims had been buried and could not be found or identified, so Chikatilo was not charged with these crimes. The number of crimes Chikatilo confessed to shocked the police, who had listed only 36 killings in their investigation. A number of victims had not been linked to the others because they were murdered far from Chikatilo's other hunting grounds, while others were not linked because they were buried and not found until Chikatilo led the police to their shallow graves.That was enough evidence to put him on trial.
Imprisonment
Special precautions had to be taken while keeping Chikatilo in prison. Violent and especially sexual crimes against children are "taboo" in the Russian underworld. Prisoners accused of raping and/or killing children in Russian prisons are "cast down" (опущены) to "untouchable" (опущенный) status, abused, and sometimes killed by their cell mates. The problem was complicated by the fact that some of the relatives of Chikatilo's victims worked in the prison system. There was a high probability of Chikatilo being killed in his cell before his trial.
While in his cell, Chikatilo was put under 24/7 video surveillance. While the suspect often acted bizarrely in front of his investigators, his behavior inside the cell (when he thought nobody was watching) was absolutely normal. He ate and slept well. He exercised every morning. He extensively read books and newspapers. Chikatilo also spent a lot of time writing letters and complaints to his family, government officials, and the mass media.
Trial and execution
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Chikatilo's trial was the first major event of post-Soviet Russia. He went to trial on April 14, 1992. Despite his odd and disruptive behavior in court, he was judged fit to stand trial. During the trial he was kept in an iron cage in the center of the courtroom; it was constructed for his own protection from the relatives of his victims. The trial had a very disturbing atmosphere. The relatives kept shouting threats and insults to Chikatilo, demanding the authorities to release him so that they could execute him on their own. There were many incidents of relatives fainting when the names of the victims were mentioned. The police guards inside the court room had to suppress what looked like an emerging riot several times. When offered to speak, he gave a two hour speech in which he explained himself as a man robbed of his genitals. He claimed to be condemned to a life of sexual frustration. Chikatilo's insane behavior in the courtroom was believed by many to be an act. If found insane, he would be placed in a psychiatric hospital. If proven sane, he faced execution. Chikatilo made many ludicrous statements, on some occasions, he announced he was pregnant or was being radiated. Twice, he dropped his pants and exposed his genitals, shouting that he was not a homosexual. On the last day of the trial, he broke into song and had to be removed from the courtroom. When offered a final opportunity to speak, he remained mute.
The trial ended in July and sentencing was postponed until October 15 when he was found guilty of 52 of the 53 murders and sentenced to death for each offense. When given a chance to speak, Chikatilo delivered a rambling speech, blaming the regime, certain political leaders, his impotence (even removing his trousers at one point) and defending himself by pointing to his childhood experiences in the notorious famine which took place in Ukraine in the 1930s. (However, it should be noted that Chikatilo's birth in 1936 occurred after the Ukrainian famine, which occurred in 1932–1933.) At one point he claimed that he had done a favor to society by cleansing it of "worthless people" (many of Chikatilo's victims were young prostitutes, alcoholics, and run-away teenagers).
On 14 February 1994 after Russian President Boris Yeltsin refused a last ditch appeal by Chikatilo for clemency, Chikatilo was taken to a soundproofed room in Rostov prison and executed by a single gunshot behind the right ear.

Anna Marie Hahn
"Arsenic Anna"
Born: July 7, 1906
Executed: Hamilton County December 7, 1938
The first woman to die in the electric chair in Ohio and America's first female serial killer to die in the chair. She was executed for the murder of 73-year-old Jacob Wagner of Cincinnati in 1937. Hahn, an immigrant from Bavaria, was suspected in numerous other poisoning deaths.
As a teenager, Hahn gave birth to an illegitimate son (the father was purportedly a Viennese physician). Her family shipped her off to America in 1929. She married Philip Hahn of Cincinnati a year later.
Hahn began poisoning and robbing elderly men and women in the city's German community to support her gambling habit. Enest Kohler, who died on May 6, 1933, was believed to be her first victim. Hahn had befriended him shortly before his death; he left her a house in his will.
Her next victim, Albert Palmer, 72, also died soon after she began caring for him. Prior to Parker's death, she signed an I.O.U. for $1,000 that she borrowed from him, but after his death the document was either discarded or simply "disappeared."
Jacob Wagner died on June 3, 1937 leaving $17,000 cash to his "beloved niece" Hahn. She soon began caring for 67-year-old George Gsellman, also of Cincinnati. For her service before his death July 6, 1937, she received $15,000.
Georg Obendoerfer was the last to die, on August 1, 1937, after he traveled to Colorado Springs with Hahn and her 12-year-old son. Police in Colorado said Obendoerfer, a cobbler, "died in agony just after Mrs. Hahn had bent over his deathbed inquiring his name, professing she did not know the man." Her son testified at her trial that he, his mother, and Obendoerfer traveled to Colorado by train from Cincinnati together and that Obendoerfer began getting sick en route.
George Heis was one of the very few who survived Hahn's ministrations, having ordered her from his home. By then, however, Heis was partially paralyzed from Hahn's previous murder attempts.
After Obendoerfer died, an autopsy revealed high levels of arsenic in his body. Police became suspicious of the spate of deaths around Hahn. Exhumations of two of her previous clients revealed that they had been poisoned.
Hahn was convicted after a sensational four-week trial in November 1937 and sentenced to death in Ohio's electric chair, an execution that was carried out on December 7, 1938.
