EP25: Murders in the Mangroves

Gerard Schaefer, a former Florida police officer, is one of the
world's most vile and prolific serial killers.  For 10 years
he tortured, mutilated, and murdered women on three different
continents.  He took pleasure in the mental anguish even more
than the physical pain he inflicted on his victims and preferred to
kill two women at one time for "double the pleasure."
  In order to ensure he didn't get caught, he studied the
behavior of other serial killers.  However, in 1972, two women
managed to escape when Gerard left them tied to the mangrove trees
with nooses around their necks while he went to work.  He was
arrested by his own co-workers at the police station he worked at.
 While in prison, he mingled with the likes of Ted Bundy and
Otis O' Toole, later stating that Ted Bundy sought advice from him.
Gerard Schaefer is proof that monsters can disguise themselves as
normal human beings.
