Henri Désiré Landru's mission was money. In the years of 1914-1919, the French Serial Killer killed 11 confirmed victims, almost all of which were women with lonely hearts, and more importantly, money. The 1 extra being the teenage son of his first victim. Almost every time, he'd kill them after he was certain he'd stolen all of their financial assets. These are only the confirmed ones, especially considering the investigators tracked his connections to 283 other women, 73 of which couldn't be found. But since they didn't have enough evidence to confirm any connections to the rest of the missing 73 women, they stuck with what they DID have evidence of. His case was investigated for over a year, and the final verdict was death by guillotine for 11 confirmed murders.
