The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers, Second Edition



I appreciate the opportunity to update and expand TheEncyclopedia of Serial Killers. Much has happened inthe field since I completed the original work in early1999, as evidenced by the increased volume of casesreported. The first edition included data on 1,621 specificserial murder cases; this edition contains 2,309 (anet increase of 42 percent in the span of five years). Notall of those cases and killers are “new,” however, sinceexpanded study of serial crime has shed light on manyolder cases that were unrecognized or poorly reportedwhen the first edition went to press. Accordingly, whilethe previous edition dated records of the first knownserial killer from the first century A.D., we now knowthat compulsive predators were active in ancient Romeas early as 331 B.C. In time, older cases will no doubtemerge.With so much new material from which to choose, avolume many times the size of the original might easilyhave been prepared. Instead, as in the first edition, FactsOn File has placed a premium on user-friendly formatand economy. The new edition differs from its predecessorin three ways: (1) New entries and updated informationhave been added throughout the main text,while revisions and corrections have been undertakenbased on new research and sources; (2) 689 cases havebeen added to the work’s appendixes on solo killers,team killers, and unsolved crimes, while certain errorsin the supplementary material have also been corrected;(3) The bibliography has been extensively updated, listing686 English-language sources (compared to 276 inthe first edition). In short, the revised Encyclopedia ofSerial Killers represents the most complete source onthe subject presently available.Thanks are due to various individuals who providedsupplementary material for this volume and/or suggestedcorrections from the first edition. First and foremost,I owe thanks to David Frasier at IndianaUniversity—friend and fellow author, researcher parexcellence—for his continuing assistance and support.The work in hand would literally not exist without hisgenerous help. Others unsung when the first editionwent to press include Barry Baldwin, Kimba D’Michi,Michael Kingman, Alan and Lenore Locken, HeatherNewton, Rod Poteet, and Stan Reid.
