Which Serial Killer Are You?
Johnathon:
Paul Bernardo

Bernardo was born into a wealthy but dysfunctional family. His father was abusive. Instead of going into the family tile business, Paul became an accountant. Like his father, he was also abusive. He sexually abused his daughter. Bernardo was always happy. He was the perfect little boy: polite, well-mannered, and doing well in school. At 16, he found out that his father was really not his father and that his mother had had an affair. Repulsed, he openly began to call his mom a "whore" and "slob". In 1987, he met Karla Homolka. She encouraged his sadistic sexual behavior. Paul asked her what she would think if he was a rapist. She said she would think it was fantastic! Their love deepened. He started raping women in earnest. He committed thirty rapes, raping most of them with a knife. After being questioned, he was released. He moved to a new city and killed 11 women. He was finally arrested and will be eligible for parole in 2010.

Brian:
Robert Christian Hansen

Also known as "The Human Hunter" and "the Butcher Baker" is an American serial killer and rapist. Hansen murdered between 17 and 21 persons near Anchorage, Alaska. Throughout childhood and adolescence, Hansen was described as being quiet and a loner, and had a horrible relationship with his domineering father. He was frequently bullied at school, usually for his perpetual acne, and also for his severe stutter. In Anchorage, he was well liked by his neighbors and was famed as a local hunting champion. He even broke several records, documented in the Pope & Young's book of world hunting records. He began killing prostitutes around 1980. After paying for their services, he would kidnap and rape them; he would then fly them out to his cabin in the Knik River Valley in his private airplane. He would then release his victim to stalk and kill her with either a hunting knife or a .223 caliber Ruger Mini-14 rifle. The police secured a warrant and searched Hansen's house on October 27, 1983, uncovering jewelry belonging to the victims, newspaper clippings about the murders and an array of firearms — including a .223-caliber Mini-14 rifle. Hansen was arrested and charged with assault, kidnapping, weapons offenses, theft and insurance fraud. When ballistics tests returned a match between bullets found at the crime scenes to Hansen's rifle, he entered into a plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to the four homicides the police knew about and provided details about his other victims in return for serving his sentence in a federal prison along with no publicity in the press. He then showed investigators 17 gravesites in the Knik River Valley, 12 of which police were unaware. Eleven remains of a probable 21 victims were exhumed by the police and returned to their families. Hansen was then sentenced to 461 years in prison. Hansen was first imprisoned at a maximum security prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. In 1988, he was returned to Alaska and was briefly incarcerated at Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau. He is currently imprisoned at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward.
