This is not a complete list but hard to find any comparison to the current situation in the Beltway.

October 2002 - Two cowardly Islamic extremists worked as a team to commit a string of sniper murders in the Washington, DC area. They were caught in the act by an armed citizen who shot them both to death.

I have tried in vain to find info about a sniper in the Jacksonville, FL area some time ago. IIRC, it was around the I-10 loop.

Does anyone recall this?

1997-1999: Angel Maturino Resendiz was convicted of murdering a Houston woman, but was linked by confessions and evidence to at least 12 other killings nationwide. He's on death row in Texas.

Is this the Railroad Killer? - He killed a man and his daughter about 15 miles from me here in IL. It was crazy around here when it happened and people were scared out of their wits (cops & helicopters everywhere), since we have many railroad tracks around here. The train track he was on when he killed the 2 people in IL sits about 1/2 mile behind my rural home. I can relate to what the people in the DC area are feeling.

How many of these serial killers averaged one victim every two days?

And the winner is......

What's their reason for listing Seda as Zodiac? Zodiac was on the other side of the country 20 years earlier and is still officially an unsub (last I heard anyway). Was he a copy cat, have I missed a rather significant chapter in the story of Zodiac?

Actually Zodiac (1966-74, SF area) bears some striking resemblances to the current guy(s) in the Beltway. Both use guns, neither kidnaps or sexually assaults, both have tied themselves to fortune telling, both are apparently pure opportunity killers. Son of Sam also bears some similarities, though Sam had a definite target victim. My wife is the real true crime nut in the family, I'm sure she could figure out a few other nut jobs with ressemblance to these guys.

"At Berdella's arraignment in the courtroom of Judge Alvin Randall, Berdella shocked everyone by entering a plea of guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree. Eventually, Berdella confessed to the murder and torture of six young men between the years of 1984 and 1987. With an uncanny ability to recall detail, he told his frightening story as Court Reporter Ruth Emma Pietro recorded each grisly event of the carnage in the court record. He enjoyed his moment in the limelight while in the courtroom confessing because he was in total control of the stage. "

Why did they leave out the Zebra killers, a group of some 5-8 Black Muslims who called themselves the "Death Angels" and killed at least 17 whites (men, women, old people, all of them just going about their daily routines) in San Francisco in the early 70s? These guys shot from a car and were not caught for nearly 2 years, until one of their members turned himself in and named the rest of them.

BTW, the ones who were caught and convicted were due to be released from California prisons in 2002...

[joesnuffy]

Dont forget the cowardly organized army of Islamic serial killers armed with gas filled commercial aircraft and willing dupes who helped them with the OK City bombings...
And many many attemps lately twarted by alert home security troops...

[AmusedBystander]

Don't forget the real Zodiac killer in SF area in 1966 who never was caught and taunted police for years.

[breakem]

The ones on death row in CA just change their sentences to death by old age.

[Steely Tom]

You forgot:

Joel Rifkin, the Long Island killer of prostitutes, and Thomas Lee Dillon, Ohio's "Hunter of Humans." Also Colin Ferguson, the "LIRR killer."

Don't forget the ever so charming Henry Lee Lucas.

Two others of note are, "Freeway Killer" William Bonin who killed 21 in Southern California and was executed in 1996 and Randy Kraft, the "Southern California Strangler" who killed 16 and is on California's death row.
