Arthur Gary Bishop

I was about 4-5 years old at the time he started on his spree. Thus, I was constantly indoctrinated by my parents and school to beware of kidnappers; I guess I was in the target demographic for this guy.

/edit Geez - I just read the whole article. The prison psychologist that worked with Bishop lives right across the street from my parents! :Q

The Green River Killer (48 murders) lived in Auburn, which is less than 10 minutes from where I live.

Richard Ramirez aka The Night Stalker

I know you guys in the Los Angeles area have to remember this one. I vaguely remembering my dad buying new bolt locks for the house and sleeping on the floor of my parents bedroom. My pops had a vest he had me wear and told me that it was knife and bullet proof to bed just to calm me down. I saw the vest years later and it was nothing more then some canvas.

One? We have had two in the past few years. Three if you count the guy who was shooting people from inside the car, he is from here.

Ted Bundy, Hillside Strangler, and the D.C. Snipers all stayed in Bellingham at one time or another.

ZOMG another Bellinghamster.

What about the infanmous Green River Killer? Not QUITE as far north as B'ham, but I'd say Seattle/Tacoma/Auburn is pretty damn close.

doesn't that imply that there's a serial killer, or the serial killer is following you.
Where I live there was only John Wayne Gacy.

In peoria -Larry Bright. He'd kill prostitutes.

Yes, John Wayne Gacy killed a lot of boys in the suburbs of Chicago. I interned with 2 of the investigators on his defense team at the Cook County Public Defender's Office.
