Edmund Emil Kemper IlIl is an American serial killer who committed the abduction and murder of several women in the early 1970s, as well the murders of his paternal grandparents and his mother. He regularly engaged in necrophilia and confessed to consuming the flesh of at least one of his victims, but later retracted this confession. The second picture is

one is. Born in California, Kemper had a turbulent childhood. He moved to Montana with his abusive mother at a young age before returning to California, where he murdered his paternal grandparents when he was 15. He was subsequently diagnosed by court psychiatrists as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and sentenced to the Atascadero State Hospital as a criminally insane juvenile.

Released at the age of 21 after convincing Atascadero psychiatrists he was rehabilitated, Kemper was regarded as non-threatening by his victims. He solely targeted young female hitchhikers during his killing spree, luring them into his vehicle and driving them to quiet areas where he would murder them before taking their corpses back to his home to be decapitated, dismembered and violated.

He then murdered his mother and one of her friends before turning himself in to the authorities. He was found sane and guilty at his trial in 1973, and requested the death penalty for his crimes. However, capital punishment was temporarily suspended in California and he instead received eight life sentences. Since then,

Kemper has been incarcerated in the California Medical Facility.

Kemper is known for his large stature and high intelligence, standing 6 feet 9 inches tall, weighing over 250 pounds and having a reported IQ of 145, features that left his victims with little chance to overcome him.
