1. Charles Manson
Last but not least in our 10 most evil serial killers ever inventory is a man whose name alone has inspired countless nightmares across the US. As young as 6, little Charlie Manson would already manifest signs of psychopathy by convincing peer students, often girls, to beat up classmates he disliked, and also turning violent himself on occasion. His constant blaming of others for his deliberate misbehaving would satisfy his urge of being the center of attention, so what happened later didn’t come as much of a shocker to the people in his hometown.
After a couple of imprisonments one of the most evil serial killers ever moved to San Francisco and started “a family”, The Manson Family, which sounds like a tv show from the 80s, but it’s not. It’s really, really not. He made some sort of guru out of himself, convinced a number of female followers (and some men) to move in with him, and rode around with them in a hippie-styled school bus filled with rugs and pillows, gathering more and more followers to later settle in a deserted ranch in the San Fernando Valley. By then his amount of servants rounded the 100.
And then it happened. Charles hand selected among his faithful, those who would perpetuate Hollywood’s most infamous crime and on August 9, 1965, commanded them to break into the house the Polanski’s were renting, while Roman was away on business. It was a bloodbath. There was a dinner party going on, 6 people, including Roman Polanski’s 8-month-pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, who was repeatedly stabbed in the stomach, blood used to smear the word “PIG” on the front door. Needless to say, no one survived. The next day, it happened again, at the LaBianca’s family house.
Funnily enough, it was not the suspicion for the murders that got them detained, but the destruction of public property at the Death Valley National Park a few months prior. Of course, once they were under custody it all kind of added up and everyone went to jail, although no one got the death penalty. And where is little Charlie today, you wonder? He’s still in prison, 80 years old, and engaged to be married to a 26-year-old girl. Now that puts all of your poor judgment into perspective, doesn’t it?
This wraps it up in our list of most evil serial killers ever.
