Serial killers:

Holden:

The Killers of Netflix’s Mindhunter & Their Real Life Counterparts

Co-Ed Killer Edmund Kemper

Standing at an enormous 6′9″, Ed Kemper was responsible for ten murders between 1964 and 1973. Kemper was the first serial killer interviewed by Agent Ford in Mindhunter and remains alive in prison at the California Medical Facility aged 73. The real life inspiration for Agent Ford, FBI profiler John Douglas described Kemper as: “among the brightest prison inmates”. This is reinforced by Kemper’s high IQ of 145.

Richard Speck

Richard Speck was a mass murderer who killed 8 female students on one night in 1966. Speck was a married father himself, but was by all accounts an alcoholic and abusive husband. Speck spent the remainder of his life in prison after his crimes, dying of a heart attack the night before his 50th birthday in 1991. FBI profiler John Douglas described his meeting Speck: “As he saw us approaching his jail cell, he went crazy, he went nuts like an animal”.

Lust Killer Jerry Brudos

Jerome Henry Brudos was a serial killer responsible for the murder of at least four women between 1968 and 1969 in Oregon. Like Speck, Brudos was a married father. Brudos also had an intense obsession with women’s feet and shoes. Jerry Brudos died of liver cancer aged 67 in 2006. Having served over 37 years in prison, he was the longest incarcerated inmate in the Oregon penal system.

BTK Killer Dennis Rader

Although only teased in Mindhunter, Dennis Rader is one of America’s most notorious serial killers. As shown in Mindhunter, Rader worked for the ADT security company in Wichita, Kansas. He was also responsible for the murder of ten people between 1974 and 1991. A majority of his murder victims were female, amongst them being the entire Otero family. Rader broke into the home of the Oteros in January 1974 before systematically torturing and murdering Joseph and Julie Otero as well as their 11 year old son and 9 year old daughter. Rader remains alive in the Kansas El Dorado Correctional Facility aged 72.

I’ve posted about Mindhunter before but not in such detail, I was rewatching it and thought this would be an interesting post to make. It’s a really great series and I’m looking forward to season two a great deal.

A lot of them probably wouldn't last at your job

Last year I had an internship at a fancy office during the day, and a food service job at night. One of the ladies at the office told me she needed a part-time job for some extra cash, and I let her know about an opening in my food service job, described what would be expected, all of that. 

Guys. She quit after one (1) shift, called me the next day, and ranted, “You never told me it was going to be that hard, is that what you do every night?! I’m not 20 anymore, I’m 50, I can’t believe they only pay you $9.50/hr to do all that work!” [For the record, I had coworkers who were 65+]

She was shocked when I explained that yeah, most food service jobs require you to stock heavy boxes, work the register, and learn to cook/prep food, then clean up before you go home. It never occurred to her that people who “just flip burgers” actually have demanding jobs. 

“I’m going to have to be extra nice to those people from now on!” Like yeah, no shit?

I’ve told this story before I’m sure, but when I got my first office job and escaped retail hell, I tended to stay at my desk on my breaks. My manager, well-meaning, passed by and reminded me to make sure I took my breaks and got up and got away from my desk regularly.

I kinda laughed and said “Tanya, I worked retail before this. This entire job is a break, to me. I get to sit down all day. Just let me enjoy that.”

And I still think about it sometimes when I’m in the breakroom in the morning. How I have the unspeakable luxury to take my coffee cup, go to the kitchen, wash the cup out, pour myself a new cup of coffee, chat with coworkers if anyone’s in the breakroom while I’m doing that, and then head back to my desk before I really *start* my day. Without worrying that I’m going to get in trouble or be seen as slacking off. As opposed to the rushed “toss your purse in a locker, clock in, and get out on the floor and start cleaning things/helping customers/fixing signage/etc.” start-of-shift routine from my retail days.

When I switched from retail to a job that used my degree, I didn’t know what to DO with my suddenly hour-long lunch. I had to un-learn snarfing my food so fast I got hiccups. I slowly realized I had time to *drive* somewhere to get lunch sometimes instead of bringing food from home or walking to the restaurant next door. Everything slows down when you’re not in retail/food industry, and it’s endlessly frustrating how people who never worked it treat those industries as “lazy” and “inferior” and “not a REAL job”. It is, real, HARD, work, and the people in it who aren’t physically ill from stress are superhuman.
