Harrison Graham was a rather slow-witted man from Philadelphia, but he appears to have been fairly well-liked. Eventually, however, neighbours complained to the landlord about the rank smells emanating from his apartment. Graham argued with the landlord, which resulted in his eviction; he made sure he had nailed the bedroom door shut before leaving, claiming his valuables were inside. On 9 August 1987 the landlord called the police to break down the door; inside were the decomposing corpses of several women. Graham claimed that they had been there when he moved in, but forensics showed they had been strangled and then abused after death by Graham. He was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life and six electrocutions - after serving his full sentence he will be electrocuted.
Richard Chase. “Dracula”
Richard Chase’s second murder was January 1978 when he entered the home of the pregnant Teresa Wallin. Wallin had been taking out the trash and in doing so left the door unlocked. Richard Chase used the unlocked door as an excuse to enter the home and when Wallin came back in the house he shot her three time. He then dragged her to the bedroom and raped her dead body while he repeatedly stabbing it with a butcher knife. When Richard Chase was done with the rape he then cut her dead body open and removed several of her internal organs, using a bucket to collect the blood and then taking it in the bathroom to bathe in it. He then sliced off her nipple and drank her blood, using an empty yogurt container as a drinking glass; before leaving, he went into the yard, found a pile of dog feces, and returned to stuff it into the corpse’s mouth and throat. Two days later Richard Chase bought two puppies from one of his neighbors and then killed the puppies and drank the blood.
On January 27,1978, Richard Chase committed a mass murder. He went into the home of Evelyn Miroth who was 38 years-old. She was babysitting her 22 month-old nephew at the time and her own six year-old son and a neighbor were also in the house. At the time that Richard Chase entered the home Evelyn had been taking a bath while her neighbor, Dan Meredith was watching the kids. Dan was in the hallway when Richard Chase entered and was shot point-blank in the head. Evelyn’s son then ran into his mother’s bedroom. Richard Chase then shot the 22 month-old baby in the head before catching up to the older boy and shooting him twice in the head. When he found Evelyn in the bathroom he shot her dead.
Similar to his second murder, Richard Chase dragged Evelyn’s dead body into the bedroom and had anal sex with her dead body while at the same time drinking her blood from sliced he had made in the back of her neck. When Richard Chase was done with the rape he stabbed her body a number of times in her anus and at one point the knife penetrated her uterus. He stabbed her in a series of vital points on the body, which caused blood from her internal organs to pool into her abdomen, which he then sliced open and drained into a bucket; he then consumed all of the blood. Chase then went to retrieve David’s corpse; he took it to the bathroom and split its skull open in the bathtub, and consumed some of the brain matter.
Serial killer Harvey Glatman found an easy way to procure female victims in the 1950’s. He would place ads for “models” to pose in what were known as “detective magazine photos” which required them to be bound and gagged. He would then set about raping and strangling them. These photos show some of the women in their last moments of life.
On Monday, January 29, 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer used a rifle to wound eight children and one police officer at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, and to kill Principal Burton Wragg and custodian Mike Suchar. The school was across the street from her house. She used the rifle she had recently been given for Christmas by her father. When the six-hour incident ended and the pretty teenager was asked why she had committed the crime, she shrugged and replied, “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.” She also said: “I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun.” “It was just like shooting ducks in a pond.” and “[The children] looked like a herd of cows standing around; it was really easy pickings.” Her lack of remorse and inability to provide a serious explanation for her actions when captured inspired the song “I Don’t Like Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats, written by socialist musician Bob Geldof. Her quote “I don’t like Mondays” also appears written on a wall in the movie, The Breakfast Club.

In France, Paris police announced in 1998 the arrest of Guy Georges “The Beast of Bastille” - who raped and murdered seven women. Described as “unstable,” Georges is said to be a persistant sexual offender who had been living in cheap hotels and squats for some time. In court, Georges was described by the public prosecutor as “the incarnation of evil,” and psychiatrists warned that he could not be cured of the desire to kill. All the victims were young women, some found tied to their beds with knife or razor cuts to their throats. In 2001 he was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for twenty-five years.
