She poisoned two husbands, tried to kill her own daughter, and typed a fake suicide note to frame her for murder. Stacey Castor was the ultimate "Black Widow."
After Michael Wallace died in 2000, his death was ruled a heart attack. When David Castor died from antifreeze poisoning in 2005, police grew suspicious. They exhumed Michael and found antifreeze in his system too. Stacey then drugged her daughter Ashley, typed a confession note, and left her for dead. Ashley survived and testified against her mother, who was convicted of second-degree murder and attempted murder. Stacey died in prison in 2016.

"Robert Lyons wouldn't be attending an Avril Lavigne concert for decades after being convicted of murdering his mother because she wouldn't arrange tickets for him."

"He performed at children's parties as Pogo the Clown. He shook hands with politicians. He was also a rapist and a murderer who buried 29 bodies in his crawl space."
Between 1972 and 1978, John Wayne Gacy lured at least 33 young men and boys to his Chicago home [citation:11]. He tricked them into handcuffs with a "magic trick," then raped and strangled them [citation:1]. His double life as a community pillar and a sadistic killer earned him the title "The Killer Clown" [citation:2]. He was executed in 1994, but the victims' families still mourn [citation:5].

A PhD criminology student who researched serial killers became one himself. Stephen Griffiths called himself the "Crossbow Cannibal" and murdered three women in Bradford. He was caught on CCTV chasing Suzanne Blamires down the corridor of his flat block, shooting her with a crossbow, and dragging her back inside. He then cooked and ate parts of her brain, keeping the rest on a plate next to amputated breasts. He told police: "I've killed loads." Today, he serves a whole-life order.

"He claimed to have killed over 100 people. He said a cult called 'The Hands of Death' sent him. And he took the secret of Adam Walsh's murder to his grave." Ottis Toole was a drifter, arsonist, and cannibalistic serial killer who terrorized the American South alongside Henry Lee Lucas. He confessed to the 1981 abduction and murder of six-year-old Adam Walsh, the son of *America's Most Wanted* host John Walsh . Decades later, the case was closed—but DNA was never produced. Toole remained a figure of wild, unverifiable claims and horrifying acts until his death in 1996 .
