Real life killers: Hunting doesn’t necessitate skill: one can go out with a weapon of choice, selecting a target at random, pursuing it (poorly or not) and, in spite of any skill, still make out with a catch. That’s entirely possible, and for some, it really does work, but for these real-life serial killers, hunting was/is more than that. There must be a focus, a discerning quality; a demographic of victim.

They each had to properly control the situations they found their victims in so that they succeeded in capturing their prey. A good number of these hunters relied on their ability to lure victims with scams, or sweet talking, and some of these killers knew where just the right hunting grounds were to ensure success each and every time.
An interesting thing to notice is that, given their clear desire for control, most of these killers set out to hunt the weak and needy, giving them an even greater sense of power, while remaining the cowards that most of them were, in terms of having a fight.
That being said, with the exception of one on this list, each and every killer, thinking they had it made, never expecting a victim to make it away from them alive, assuming they were always covering their tracks well enough, was caught and, in some cases, put to death themselves as many a reader will think justified after reading the cases below.
10. Pedro Lopez
Known as the “Monster of the Andes” Lopez is said to have killed more than three hundred people. From a young age, Lopez found himself homeless, and engaged in a life of violence and sexual abuse in his home country of Columbia. After being released from jail for his early criminal life, Lopez embarked on a killing spree between Columbia, Peru, and Ecuador. Targeting young girls of little means, Lopez would rape and murder these children, eventually getting caught by a local community, having tried to abduct a nine-year-old girl. Tribal law of the area sentencing him to be buried alive, a Western missionary convinced the people to turn him in to the Peruvian authorities who then deported him to Ecuador where he was charged with the murder of one hundred and ten girls, and sentenced to only sixteen years of prison time (their maximum sentence at the time). Released two years early for good behaviour, he was sent to Columbia, institutionalized for a year before deemed sane, and then he disappeared. One can’t help but wonder if, after likely killing near three hundred women, he should have been buried alive in Peru after all.
