8. Juana Barraza

The “Old Lady Killer” was once a professional wrestler, currently serving a sentence of 759 years, though Mexico’s maximum prison sentence is 60 years and she is not likely to see a life outside of prison ever again. Harbouring a great deal of disdain and hatred for her mother for trading her daughter’s body for beer, leading to her being reportedly raped many times, Barraza hunted women sixty years or older, bludgeoning them to death after having scoped them out on the street, gaining their trust and access to their homes by helping them with groceries, offering cleaning services, or posing as a nurse or social worker offering check-ups and welfare programs. Barraza did indeed rob her victims, but it seems that was very much a secondary purpose, caring more about the incredible pain she inflected on helpless old women than what she could make from them after the fact. Accused of forty deaths, and only admitting to one, Barraza was found guilty of sixteen charges of murder and aggravated burglary, including eleven separate accounts of murder.
7. Jeffrey Dahmer

A raging alcoholic by the age of eighteen, the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer killed his first victim, hitchhiker Steven Hicks, just before shipping off to Germany after enlisting. Alleged to have murdered again in Germany, nothing was ever proven, and only just over two years into his service, Dahmer was discharged for his drinking. Several years after, taking a man with him to a hotel room to get plastered, Dahmer woke to his dead partner, not recalling the actions of the night. Dismembering, and masturbating over the corpse, Dahmer then disposed of the body, and for the next thirteen years, engaged in a killing spree. Murdering seventeen men and boys, predominantly African-American, Dahmer would select his victims from the fringes of society so as to minimize his chances of being caught for raping, lobotomizing, murdering, dismembering, ejaculating over, and even eating his victims. Keeping parts of the bodies for trophies, Dahmer also engaged in necrophilia before dismemberment, and though it took many close calls to finally catch him, he was convicted, and sentenced to sixteen life terms, though he was murdered by an inmate who didn’t like listening to Dahmer’s stories…
