"The signs were there from the beginning. As a boy, Edmund Kemper killed animals, decapitated his sisters’ dolls, and invented disgusting games. And at age 15, he even murdered his grandparents."

"But when Kemper later confessed to killing six female hitchhikers, as well as his mother and her best friend, the police didn’t believe him at first. They knew and liked “Big Ed” — the 6’9″ man who seemed like a gentle giant."

He even killed his grandparents, but police just couldn't believe he was a serial killed... lol k.

Interesting story though.

Ripped out his mother's trachea and throw it in the garbage disposal. When he turned it on and it shot back at him he said "even when she's dead the bitch won't be quiet"

At least one song and the most hilarious guitar cover ever.

As chronicled in season one of Netflix’s crime show Mindhunter, Edmund Kemper’s testimony about his state of mind during his murders was integral to law enforcement’s understanding of how serial killers operate.

Legend has it that he very gently murdered all of those people. The guy really did have a big heart. Ya know what I mean?

Edmund Kemper killed animals, decapitated his sisters’ dolls, and invented disgusting games.

Signs of a male child maybe.

If his mom was still alive I am sure she would say, "He dindu nuffin!"

Nearly all of these serial killers are sexually abused as children. It actually stands out that this is never mentioned in his story.

No I dont believe that. I believe these men have some sort of brain damage, possibly from an early infection. The notion that people just get turned in to sadistic sexual killers because someone touched their pee pee is nonsense.

I was being facetious.

This was one of your less obvious jokes.

I have a somewhat dry sense of humor.

Hah, I have a different theory for you. About half the sources I can find list his mother's name as Clarnell Stage. But the other half...list it as Strandberg.

Because all his abusers are dead. Duh.

"Edmund Emil Kemper III (born December 18, 1948) is an American serial killer, rapist and necrophile who murdered six college students before murdering his mother and her best friend from September 1972 to April 1973 following his parole for murdering his paternal grandparents."

Edmund Kemper took an axe
and gave his grandparents forty whacks.
Many years after this act was done,
he gave his mother forty-one.

This gets into greater detail, and it looks like the police didn't even know who he was until he called and confessed:

Ed gets into his car and drives to Pueblo, Colorado. He thought that by now the police would be desperate in their search. He took a huge arsenal with him because he was sure he would fire shots at the authorities. But the police didn’t even know who Ed Kemper was.

Kemper was frustrated when he realized that he would not receive the attention he was imagining, so he decided to call the police and confess his crimes. The last bodies were then found in his mother’s house, and he waited for the police until he was arrested.
