Apart from the obvious sadness and shock that resulted from the killings themselves, horror at Eric Harris’ and Dylan Klebold’s enthusiasm for the bloodshed baffled and disturbed the world. As the teens began the carnage outside their high school, bystanders reported that they were almost giddy with excitement. “This is what we always wanted to do,” one of the gunmen allegedly shouted. “This is awesome!” When later relaying the sequence of the massacre in an official sheriff’s report, Jefferson County investigators responded to the killers’ attitudes and actions with the following statement:
“While this report establishes a record of the events of April 20, it cannot answer the most fundamental question - why? That is, why would two young men in the spring of their lives choose to murder faculty members and classmates? The evidence provides no definitive explanation, and the question continues to haunt us all.”

In February and March 1997, three young girls were attacked in Kobe, Japan. On 15 March 10-year-old Ayaka Yamashita was bludgeoned to death with a steel pipe in the same area. On 27 May 1997, some time before pupils were due to arrive at Tainohata Elementary School, the caretaker found the head of 11-year-old Jun Hase, who had been missing for three days, in front of the school gate. He had been decapitated with a handsaw and in his mouth was a note in red ink reading, “This is the beginning of the game… You police guys stop me if you can… I desperately want to see people die, it is a thrill for me to commit murder. A bloody judgement is needed for my years of great bitterness.” It was signed ‘The School Killer’. Later in the same day the rest of the boy was found under a house in the woods near the school. The killer also wrote a symbol similar to one used in San Francisco by the Zodiac. Near most of the crime scenes were mutilated bodies of cats.
On 6 June the newspaper Kobe Shimbum received a 1,400-word letter, purporting to be from the killer. It read in part “I am putting my life at stake for the sake of this game. If I’m caught, I’ll probably be hanged… police should be angrier and more tenacious in pursuing me… It’s only when I kill that I am liberated from the constant hatred that I suffer and that I am able to attain peace. It is only when I give pain to people that I can ease my own pain.” The Letter was signed “Sakakibara Seito” with a PS, “From now on, if you… spoil my mood I will kill three vegetables a week… If you think I can only kill children you are greatly mistaken.” On 28 June 1997 a 14-year-old boy was arrested for the murders assaults. He had begun mutilating animals when he was 12 (he would line up frogs and cycle over them) and started carrying knives when in junior school. He had kept a diary detailing his exploits and in his bedroom police found thousands of pornographic videos. Japanese law at the time meant that no one under the age of 16 could be charged as an adult so he was sent to a reformatory for treatment. In 2003 he was pronounced cured and paroled on 10 March 2004, aged 21. His supervised parole ended on 31 December 2004 and he is now free, with a new identity.

Josef and Elisabeth Fritzl
For amost a quarter of a century Elisabeth Fritzl was enduring an unimaginable ordeal behind the plain gray walls of a nondescript house. Her 73-year-old fater, Josef, had held his now 45-year-old daughter captive for 24 years in a concealed windowless basement hideout, where he repeatedly had sexual intercourse with her and where she gave birth to seven of his children. Elisabeth Fritzl was 11 years old when her father raped her for the first time. Josef Fritzl appears to have meticulously carried out his deed while acting like a caring father. His wife insists that she had no idea what was going on in the house and waas never allowed to set foot in the basement.

Kevin Cooper had escaped from asylums and prisons 12 times before 4 June, 1983, on the night of which he broke into a random house in Chino Hills, California, where the Ryen family lived. The father, Bill, went there the next day and found the entire family hacked to death all over the house. There was blood on the ceiling. His ex-wife, Peggy, and her husband Franklin, were dead, with as many as 30 stab wounds each, as were their 10-year-old daughter, Jessica, and Bill’s 11-year-old son, Christopher. The youngest, 8-year-old Joshua Ryen, was still alive, and miraculously survived with a slashed throat and hatchet wound through his skull. Cooper has sworn his innocence ever since, but DNA evidence says otherwise. The fact that he is attempting to save himself by lying seems to indicate his sanity.

“Your Honour, it is over now. This has never been a case of trying to get free, I didn’t ever want freedom, frankly I wanted death for myself. This was a case to tell the world that I did what I did not for reasons of hate, I hated no one. I knew I was sick or evil or both; now I believe I was sick. The doctors have told me about my sickness and now I have some peace. I know how much harm I have caused and I tried to do the best I could after the arrest to make amends, no matter what I did, I could not undo the terrible harm I have caused. I feel so bad for what I did to those poor families and I understand their rightful hate. I decided to go through this trial for a number of reasons. One of the reasons was to let the world know these were not hate crimes. I wanted the world and Milwaukee, which i deeply hurt, to know the truth of what I did. I didn’t want unanswered questions, all the questions have now been answered. I wanted to find just what it was that caused me to be so bad and evil. But most of all Mr. Boyle and I decided that maybe there was a way for us to tell the world that if there are people out there with these disorders maybe they can get some help before they end up being hurt, or hurting someone. I think the trial did that.”

“I didn’t think too much of killing individual people. I use to think of killing the human race sometimes.”
-Charles Starkweather
Over a period of ten days, Starkweather murdered 11 people in five midwestern states alongside his 15-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate in 1958.
