Welcome back strangers.
Sometimes when we are making a new video I get super creeped out thinking about what
are the chances that I will experience something like the topic we are covering.
Many of us are so fortunate that we will never be able to fully understand some of the horrendous
thing's others have gone through, but what are the chances it will happen to you.
What if someone is already stalking you, watching and learning your daily routine.
Preparing to sneak into your house when you aren't home and wait for you or maybe comeback
later through a window they unlocked so they can surprise you while you are sleeping at
night.
Today we are going to discuss the top 5 states in America where you are most likely to encounter
a serial killer based on serial killings per provided by the FBI.
The last is my favorite state I have visited, and I would have never expected to be number
one on this list.
Over 20% of the documented serial killers in the world have come from a 200-mile radius
around Seattle Washington.
Many large metropolitan areas have had at least one serial killer, but Seattle has had
dozens.
There has been a total of 277 serial killers in Washington with an average number of serial
killings of 7.44 per 1 million people in the charming northwestern state.
Notable killers include: Gary Ridgway, The Green River Killer who terrorized the state
for over 20 years mainly targeting women.
Gary was convicted of 48 murders and is currently serving life in a Washington State prison,
but he claims to have killed at least twice as many victims.
Ted Bundy was a former University of Washington student who confessed to murdering 30 young
women in Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, and Florida.
Ted reportedly began killing in 1971 in Seattle, but he also claimed he killed two women in
Atlantic City in 1969 before beginning his spree of murders, kidnappings, and rapes.
Finally, Westley Allan Dodd who is known as one of the evilest killers in history sexually
assaulted as many as 175 children along with killing a 10-year-old, 11-year-old, and a
4-year-old over the course of 15 years.
His last words were, "I was once asked by somebody, I don't remember who, if there
was any way sex offenders could be stopped.
I said no…..I was wrong."
In 1993, he was the first legal hanging in the United States since 1965.
If that didn't make you rethink living the dream in Washington at least reconsider owning
a cat.
Since September of this year, there have been 13 cats murdered by a serial cat killer in
Washington State…
To many the idea of living in California makes them think of living a laid back, low stress
life in the sunshine and surf or maybe chasing dreams of stardom in Hollywood.
Yet, many of the country's most infamous serial killers have called the state home.
Over 1,500 California residents have been murdered by serial killers since 1900.
The killings peaked between the 1960's and 1980's and have finally slowed in recent
years.
Today, the average number of serial killings stands at roughly 7.81 deaths per 1 million
California residents.
During the 1980's California was responsible for over 20% of all serial killer murders,
and overall California has the second highest number of serial killers in the country.
Notable ones include: The notorious Golden State Killer, Stalker is believed to have
murdered 12 people, committed 45 sexual assaults, and robbed 120 residences from 1976 to 1986
before quietly ending his decade of terror.
He was fortunately arrested earlier this year and we covered it with Pink Spooky on our
weekly livestream podcast you should go check out.
During the 1980's, The Night Stalker Richard Ramirez raped and tortured at least 25 victims.
Thirteen of which he murdered when he was finished with them in Los Angeles and San
Francisco.
Richard was sentenced to death but died of lymphoma in prison in 2013.
The Zodiac Killer is one of the most prolific serial killers in American history that has
not been caught.
He terrorized northern California in the late 1960's and killed at least 5 victims and
injured 2 others.
He claimed to have killed at least 37 people in his letters to the police and press.
He typically targeted young couples that he would either shoot or stab to death.
The Zodiac's correspondences stopped in 1974, but some are still hopeful that his
identity will be discovered decades later similarly to the Golden State Killer case.
Recently in 2016 police arrested a suspect in the San Diego homeless killer case, and
currently there is the possibility of an active serial killer in North East Los Angeles.
Florida may be one of the best places to retire in the country, but it is also a hot bed for
serial predators with an average of 9.92 serial killings for every million residents.
The sunshine state also has the third highest number of confirmed serial killers.
Though the killings peaked in the 1980's there may be more truth behind the TV show
Dexter than many want to admit.
Notable killers include: Aileen Wuornos who murdered seven men in Florida between 1989
and 1990 by shooting them at point blank range.
She claimed her victims raped her while was working as a prostitute.
She was sentenced to death and was executed by lethal injection in 2002.
The Flat Tire Murderer killed five young women and teenage girls in South Florida between
February 1975 to July of that year.
It is believed the killer would deflate the victim's tires and gain there trust by offering
to help them.
The killer has never been identified or apprehended.

two murders while on patrol as a Sheriff's deputy in Martin County, Florida.

money provided by the mafia.
Before 1950, there were only two victims documented victims of serial killers in Nevada until
the gambling boom in Vegas and Reno.
Violent crime exploded in the desert state.
Currently Nevada has the second highest amount of violent crime in the country with an average
of 12.19 serial killings for every million residents.
The high number of tourists visiting Las Vegas, prostitutes, and desperate individuals down
on their luck create the ideal pool of victims for a serial killer waiting for another body
to leave behind in the Nevada desert.
Notable killers include: Neal Falls was who was shot and killed by an escort in Charleston,
West Virginia in 2015.
Police have linked him to at least 8 murders and potentially 4 more.
He has been linked to dismembered bodies found outside of Las Vegas and may have killed more
when he worked in Nevada at the Hoover Dam.

along side Interstate 80 that runs through Nevada.

found along the highway.
There has also been a serial shooter that has been targeting homeless people in Las
Vegas with at least 4 confirmed victims this year.
In October, 68 year old Nathan Burke plead guilty to two murders from a killing spree
that took place over 40 years ago that killed at least 5 women in Sin City.
Alaska is often marketed to tourists as the final frontier on earth, but it is also one
of the most violent places in the country with an average of 15.65 serial killings for
every million residents.
The state's isolation and rugged wilderness make it easy to commit disturbing acts of
violence and murder without getting caught.
No one can save you if there is no one around to hear you scream.
Alaska is gorgeous and a popular tourist destination, but it also has a long history of attracting
wild men, degenerates, and criminals.
Notable serial killers include: Robert Hansen, the Butcher Baker, who was a loving father,
successful baker, businessman, and hunter.
Robert's hobbies included picking up prostitutes and exotic dancers in Anchorage.
He would take them in his private plane into the Alaskan wilderness where we would leave
them in the middle of nowhere only to comeback and hunt them down for sport.
He killed at least 17 women before 17-year-old Cindy Paulson managed to escape Robert before
she was forced on his plane.
She was able to tell her story to the police who were able to connect the missing women
in the area to Robert's activities.
He was sentenced to over 400 years in prison where he died in 2014.
Klutuk was the name given to an Eskimo who murdered fur trappers near the Kuskowim River
between 1919 and 1938.
He would kill anyone who encroached on his territory whether they were white or indigenous
people.
Klutuk would either shoot or kill his victims with an axe.
Those lucky enough to survive his attacks described him to be a small but fierce standing
around 5'4'' and weighing about 140 pounds.
In 1938, when the killings stopped, a body of an unknown hermit was found in a cabin
near the Kuskowin River that matched the description of Klutuk, but no one knows for certain if
that was truly him.
In 2007, Joshua Wade was arrested and confessed to murdering at least 5 people between 2000
