Pedro Alonzo Lopez
This Columbian killer is also known as The Monster Of The Andes--a title that befits a man who's believed to have raped and killed more than 300 women! His killing spree went undetected for eleven years until he was captured by Ecuadorian authorities in 1980.
After serving a 14-year sentence, he was deported to Colombia, where he was tried for a 20-year-old murder. Initially, he was declared insane, but the verdict was overturned in 1998, and he was released on bail. Since then, he's vanished and is one of the world's most wanted fugitives!

Bruno Ludke
According to Nazi German officials, this alleged killer was responsible for 51 murders over a 13-year period. He had supposedly admitted to have sexually abused and killed his victims and avoided arrest for two decades--a tall ask for a man with an intellectual disability. However, the Germans still maintain that Ludke was one of the worst mass murderers in their country.
He was eventually arrested and was subjected to several medical experiments until he was executed by lethal injection in 1944. Even today, the mystery of this killer's motivations remains unsolved!

Harold Shipman
This British doctor, aka Dr. Death, is respoensible for the death of over 218 of his patients! His reign of terror went undetected from 1975 to 1998. This GP would give his elderly patients large, lethal doses of diamorphene, and would then falsify medical records, attributing their deaths to "old age."
A local funeral parlour owner noticed a disturbing trend where many of Shipman's patients were dying of the same cause. Authorities soon got wind of it, and an investigation led to Shipman's arrest. He was given life imprisonment, and he hanged himself in his cell in 2004.
