Ridgway and Gacy from this list.

Ridgway because of how prolific he was, and Gacy because he was pure evil.

When the victim’s families all had a chance to confront Ridgway at his sentencing, most of them railed at him about how evil and sick he was. When they did, he stood there stonefaced. Twice the families (Christian families) said they forgave him. Both times he wept.
 
Berkowitz is interesting and unique because he didn't work alone, and is one of the extremely few serial killers to work with partners. I think there is more than enough evidence to suggest that John "Wheat" Carr and Michael Carr (the literal sons of Sam Carr) were part of the killings. One of the Son of Sam letters mentions them and others. Witness sketches and eyewitnesses and at least one victim have stated Berkowitz wasn't the shooter in every case.

The Son of Sam and the Night Stalker stand in stark contrast to the claim that the "Satanic Panic" of the late 70's and 80's was groundless and overblown.

Berkowitz converted to Christianity in prison. He works with troubled youth and does a lot of community outreach.
 
That dude couldn't control his hornyness
It wasn’t just sex for Dahmer. It was also his feelings of loneliness and abandonment. He killed (and later ate) his victims because he didn’t want them to leave.

I don’t think killing itself gave Dahmer pleasure the way it did someone like Gacy. Gacy was pure evil. Dahmer was cracked.

I don’t say this to minimize what Dahmer did. He was a sick individual who committed evil and he deserved to be be punished to the full extent of the law. But he was definitely a different breed of serial killer than some of the others on this list. To me he was more pathetic than sadistic.

Thank you for incredible insight, it's most appreciated.

You’re welcome.

I don’t have the stomach for it anymore, but I used to be interested in that sort of stuff. It’s harder for me to read about that kind of stuff now. I just don’t know why people are mean to each other, or why they think they have the right to just take someone’s life. It’s too sad.
 
As a dude you could've been raped and killed and raped, again by John Wayne Gacey or Jeffrey Dahmer <30>

Robert Berdella was another one like them, preying on gay guys looking to rape and torture them over and over again. One of the creepiest things about him was he kept a journal where he'd note down how he'd tortured his victims that day. He also took a bunch of photos of his victims as they were being tortured

*Warning: Disturbing Images of Berdella's victims

He killed over 100 girls and they released him?

Wtf is wrong with people?
 
Kemper is the Apex predator of serial killers. Not many turn themselves in because they got bored of not being caught.

His interviews are some of the best I've ever seen and it's obvious his really does have an IQ of 145. You can see why the interviewers liked him so much, its like watching a brilliant psychiatrist analyse their own personality

Not many serial killers have a picture with the first Lady. Jonh Wayne Gacy is a special type of evil

A raging lefty Democrat, of course
