If you asked someone what they know about serial killers they will most likely mention Jack The Ripper or Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy and then perhaps branch out from there. In Canada, when you talk to people about serial killers, we have Clifford Olson, Robert Pickton and Paul Bernardo that immediately spring to mind for most. However, one thing that stands out when most people talk about serial killers is that a lot of the most prolific ones are males. You don’t often hear too much about female serial killers. Some will say that that is because the stories are not usually all that “interesting” so to speak. One of Canada’s most prolific serial killers is a name that most people know, but their memories only really trigger when the name is mentioned. Elizabeth Wettlaufer was found guilty of murdering eight people and attempting to murder six others.
