Chapter 1

Wish I may, wish I might, Find my one true love tonight.

It started with the hushed whispers when no one was looking, and then the first official police report surfaced, or shall I say reports. There was quite a few to be honest. There wasn't just one, they started popping up all over the country invoking fear in to everyone. It wasn't only noticed by the local authorities, it was soon the headline on every national and international newspaper. Every radio stations, every news channel. It was a race on who could get more information, when would he finally get caught.

I remember seeing the newspaper headlines, "10 brutally mutilated and murdered"; "Could this be the 21th centuries Jack the Ripper?", "Death toll confirmed 42 people", a few weeks later the news started to hit home…Or rather the destination of the said serial killer. No real information was being given on what to look for or what was going on, we only knew that there were murders and there was a lot of them and that they were brutal. "Virginia now falls victim to mass murders being committed", I lived in Virginia, I studied here but still I didn't pay any attention to what the news was saying. I had some other theories but I couldn't find it in myself to entertain the thought.

"Richmond falls victim to 16 people found dead at local college.", "Greek house devastated by the loss of students." Richmond was just an hour's drive from where I was, and I had attended college there, but I doubted it would escalate to our little town. "Group of 9 working ladies were found dead in Mayor of Richmonds house – Is this related to the mass murders or are they trying to cover up?" It was a rather valid question. I mean almost all the reports were woman, and if my mind services me correct most serial killers either focused of young boys or ladies of the night… Were people like the mayor trying to cover up their promiscuous past to salvage their future? The thought had crossed my mind several times. But would they really go that far?

But it was rather irrational to think that they would do it. I mean why would they kill the college students among other things? I doubt the perverted Mayor of Richmond would have any relationship with a college student or rather vice versa, his forte was prostitutes, strippers, ladies that stood around street corners waiting for their customers. I shudder, I dislike working girls. They screw up marriages, relationships and good reputations yet I think everything happens for a reason.

It seems that everything went quiet for a month or so, like the killer disappeared from the face of the earth, like he was never even here in the first place, that it was all just our imagination. No new bodies that we or the authorities knew of. No murders that drew attention other than the obvious. And then, just like that it all started up again out of nowhere, from Pheonix, to New York, Illinois, they started picking up all around the country, more and more reports of bodies showing up. I guess he became sloppy in the end, he didn't cover his tracks very well.

The reports became more vivid and that one news reader got rather sick as she spoke of the reports, the findings, she almost fainted on screen. I remember the last news heading before the serial killer was caught. "235 confirmed kills, when will this madness stop, when will the Angel of Death be brought to justice." It was a rather catchy name 'the angel of death', I think it was a publicity stunt to get ratings because I could not seem to find that the name fit him very well. Angel of death brought a mercy death or so I tend to think. And the next thing I know, I switch on the 7 o'clock news, it was loud and clear as I watched with big eyes.

"Notorious serial killer 'The angel of death' has been apprehended by authorities earlier today and is now in police custody." I look to Bonnie who was sitting next to me at the time the news broke world-wide, I couldn't believe that it took so long for the police to arrests the killer, it was in a time span of 18 months that he killed 235 people, and those were the only ones that could be confirmed, there was still suspicion that there was more isolated cases but they couldn't seem to link them. Maybe they couldn't see the similarity in the modus operandi.

The trial started months later but they were even more chaotic then the investigation itself. Strange incidents would occur and people would die, this killer was beyond anything I have come to known, he was ruthless, psychotic even as he made these incidents happen. They had to keep him bound at all times as to prevent another bite out of a guards shoulder, or was it the nurses finger that he bit of this time around, clawing out another's eyes or so I heard. It would scare even the worse of psychopaths that roamed the earth currently. Psychiatrist and therapists and physiotherapists tried their best to understand this man that sat silently as the trial took place.

His madness was rather special. Nothing like we ever saw before. His lust for inflicting pain on others, his methods. During the trial more evidence was revealed, and the reality of these brutal murders surfaced. The mutilation, the savageness, the only reason they could link this man was on the grounds of how the women was mutilated. The severed limbs, was the first thing. He would sever the limbs into multiple pieces, the element of cannibalism is what scared most, and most blamed that it was because of it that the man was beyond crazy.

I had never encountered such a specimen. Such a person, who found pleasure by conflicting pain to such an extent that he tortured them, killed them, ripped them to shreds and sometimes eat them. I have done case studies on Alfred Packer, Albert Fish, Issei Sagawa but they didn't come near to what this man was. It reminded me of Andrei Chikatilo who while in custody confessed to over 50 murders and mutilations, and even Jeffrey Dahmer. Yet this man was nothing like any of them. I mean there was specifics, there were elements but still combined these 5 men didn't have anything against the so called Angel of Death.

After 6 years of trials and courthouse appearances, he was found guilty, he didn't even appeal, just sat there looking at the courthouse like he had just lost all his marbles and smiled to them. He was sentenced to 12 life sentences and 3 318 years without parole. He was never going to get out, that I was sure of. He would rot in a jail surely.
