        I saw a new book at Borders the other day about this case entitled The Killer of Little Shepherds.

            I don't know for sure about translation but the author is Douglas Starr.

                Thanks everyone for contributing!





                Boston, you say? I live in the area, although I've never heard of him before. Definitely going to have to look into this....





                My friend lives quite a bit away, so I'm still waiting for the return of my copy. XD





                Thank you for your fascinating input, Jeff. <3 I really appreciate it.

                I'm probably going to go through these names over the weekend and organize the list properly- ABC order, timeline, victim #, confirmed, suspected, or unknown.


                Totally amazed how many women are on this list.

                  Maria van der Linden (or Van der Linden or Vanderlinden) murdered by poison 16 to 27 people (sources vary) between 1880 and 1883 in Leiden, Holland. Another 45 - 50 victims survived.

                  Cool name.

                    Ratcliff Highway murders?

                    Might be considered a spree killer, I don't know much about the case until I get the book from mum

                    nice list btw and worth a bump!

                      You might also add

                      Harry Hayward of Minnesota - who murdered his misress Kitty Ging with two assistants, and in his confession mentioned several other previous killings that had not been solved.

                      Samuel Dougal, who killed one definite victim in 1899 (and was tried for it in 1903 and convicted). He may have killed two earlier wives in the 1880s.

                      Dr. Milton Bowers of San Francisco - supposedly (he was acquitted)killed three wives.

                      Robert Butler, who killed a wife, husband, and child (but was acquitted after a remarkable defense of himself in court) and later killed a man he was trying to rob.

                      John Owens, who slaughtered a family of a blacksmith in 1870.

                      Thomas Fury (Great name that!) who killed his family in 1865 or 66 - he wanted to get his figure into the Tussaud Chamber of Horrors.

                      Emmanuel Bartholemey - made a career of killing policemen and political opponents in France in Britain, fighting the last known duel in England (which he probably fixed against his opponent). He ended beng hanged in 1855 for killing a wealthy merchant (who he was possibly trying to blackmail) and a retired soldier who tried to stop him. Reading about him he comes across as a total villain. He had one defender: Victor Hugo writes a chapter honoring him as a French patriot who "was misunderstood" by the British in the novel Les Miserables. If one really thinks highly of Hugo, reading that idiotic chapter reduces the novelist's stature quite a bit.
