Dahmer's parents are Lionel and Joyce Dahmer. He was described as an energetic and happy child until the age of 4, when surgery to correct a double hernia seemed to cause a change in the boy. He became increasingly withdrawn following the birth of his younger brother, David Dahmer, and the family's frequent moves. By his early teens, he was disengaged, tense and friendless.  Dahmer claims that his compulsions toward necrophilia and murder began around the age of 14, but it appears that the breakdown of his parents' marriage and their divorce may have been the catalyst.
During his schooling at Rivere High School, he was known to be an above average student. He had interest in tennis and he was also a part of the school band.
Since his childhood he was interested in animals. He was reported to have captured insects and butterflies which he stored in jars, alive and dismembered. Seeing his father clean the family home of animal bones, his interest gained momentum. He became fascinated about the sound of bones.
Gradated from Ohio State University but gave up on education after due to an alcohol addiction.

Born: March 9, 1945 (age 74 years), Pittsburg, KS

Full name: Dennis Lynn Rader

Spouse: Paula Dietz (m. 1971–2005)

Victims: 10

BTK stood for Bind, Torture, and Kill

Dennis Lynn Rader was born on March 9, 1945, in Pittsburg, Kansas, and grew up in Wichita. The oldest of four sons, he enjoyed a seemingly normal childhood, reportedly masking such disturbing behavior as hanging stray animals.

On January 15, 1974, Rader strangled to death four members of the Otero family in their Wichita home—parents Joseph and Julie, and two of their children, Josephine and Joseph Jr.—before leaving with a watch and a radio. Strangulation and souvenir-taking would become part of his pattern of behavior. He also left semen at the scene and later said that he derived sexual pleasure from killing.

Rader struck again a few months later: On April 4, 1974, he waited in the apartment of a young woman named Kathryn Bright, before stabbing and strangling her when she returned home. Rader also twice shot her brother, Kevin, though he survived. Kevin later described Rader as "an average-sized guy, bushy mustache, 'psychotic' eyes."

Reportedly an attentive husband, he and his wife had a son in 1975 and a daughter in 1978. The next year, Rader graduated from Wichita State University with a degree in administration of justice. Still, he continued to taunt authorities and appeared to be poised to strike again.

A pen-pal friendship developed with Everson Gillmouth. When Puente was released in 1985 after serving just three years of her sentence, he was waiting for her in a red 1980 Ford pickup. Their relationship developed quickly, and the couple was soon making wedding plans. In November 1985, Puente hired handyman Ismael Florez to install some wood paneling in her apartment. For his labor and an additional $800, Puente gave him a red 1980 Ford pickup in good condition, which she stated belonged to her boyfriend in Los Angeles who no longer needed it. She asked Florez to build a box 6 feet by 3 feet by 2 feet to store "books and other items". She then asked Florez to transport the filled and nailed-shut box to a storage depot. Florez agreed, and Puente joined him. On the way, however, she told him to stop while they were on Garden Highway in Sutter County and dump the box on the river bank in an unofficial household dumping site. Puente told him that the contents of the box were just junk. On January 1, 1986, a fisherman spotted the box sitting about three feet from the bank of the river and informed police. Investigators found a badly decomposed and unidentifiable body of an elderly man inside. Puente continued to collect Everson Gillmouth's pension and wrote letters to his family, explaining that the reason he had not contacted them was because he was ill. She maintained a "room and board" business, taking in 40 new tenants. Gillmouth's body remained unidentified for three years.

Mother: Diane Wuornos
Father: Leo Dale Pittman
Brother: Keith
Grandparents: Lauri and Britta Wuornos
Childhood: She never met her father who was convicted of sexually assaulting children and subsequently committed suicide in prison. Her mother abandoned her and her brother when they were you, leaving them to Aileen's maternal grandparents. Her grandmother was alcoholic and her grandfather was violent and sexually abusive. At 11, she began engaging in sexual activities at school in exchange for food, drugs, and cigarettes. She also had sexual relations with her brother during this time.

Soon after the adoption and directly after the death of her grandfather, Aileen dropped out of school and became a prostitute. She also began living in the woods.
Education: She dropped out of high school at age 15.
Typical Killer: Aileen does not necessarily represent the typical serial killer profile: She was ~33 at the time of her first murder, she is a female killer and, she had a low IQ of 81. She also came from an unstable home and grew up in the absence of a nurturing environment.
Common characteristics of victims: older men.
The Murders: While she was working as a prostitute, the victims would attempt to pick her up in their cars, where she would kill them in what she claimed was "self-defense".
She would shoot them to death with multiple shots, typically to the head and torso.
Death Toll: 7 men
Unstable: Aileen was declared to be unstable at her trial after psychiatrists diagnosed her with  borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.
