Murderer

The Resume

    (August 23, 1943-July 24, 2021)
    Born in San Antonio, Texas
    Known as the ‘Dating Game Killer’
    Serial killer responsible for 7-100 deaths
    Known to have committed at least 5 murders (1977-1979)
    Sentenced to death (March 9, 2010)

Why he might be annoying:

    He strangled his victims, and resuscitated them during their killings to extend their pain and suffering.
    He was sent to jail for raping an eight year old girl, and was arrested again two months after his release.
    Photographs of hundreds of young women were found in his belongings.
    He ironically studied film under another convicted criminal, Roman Polanski.
    Nearly a year after being sentenced to death, he was indicted for the murders of two women in New York in the 1970s (January 27, 2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a winning contestant on ‘The Dating Game’ (1978).
    Although he won on ‘The Dating Game,’ the girl who picked him eventually decided against their proposed date (which may have saved her life.)
    He managed to land a job as typesetter for the Los Angeles Times, and aided their coverage of the Hillside Strangler.
    He has an IQ of 135.
    Charlize Theron showed up at his trial to do research for her Oscar winning role as Aileen Wuornos in ‘Monster.’
