HE TURNED HIS MOTHER'S HEAD INTO A DARTBOARD || The Edmund Kemper Case

Edmund Kemper, born December 18, 1948, is an American serial killer known as the "Co-ed Killer." He murdered at least ten people, including his grandparents, mother, and several young women in Santa Cruz, California, during the early 1970s.

Kemper's crimes were marked by extreme violence, including necrophilia and dismemberment. Standing at 6'9" and with a high IQ, he was articulate and manipulative, often charming his victims. He killed his grandparents at 15, leading to his institutionalization, but was released at 21. His later murders targeted female hitchhikers before culminating in the killing of his mother and her friend in 1973. Kemper turned himself in, was convicted of eight counts of first-degree murder, and is serving life in prison. His case is notable for psychological insights into serial killers, as he provided detailed confessions and interviews.1sFast
