30+ Photos of Serial Killers In Everyday Life

Over the decades, many serial killers and their crimes have come to light and garnered international media coverage. Obviously, these crimes are what has made them infamous and the mugshots taken at the time of their capture. Yet, behind every serial killer is the story of a man or woman who has lived a life full of family and friends. It is hard to reconcile who these people are outside of their crimes, but they all led lives that are seldom discussed, unless it is in a nonfiction book, a movie or in a television series.

Most of these notorious men and women had families and friends who were often photographed with them, and when you look at these photos it is hard to imagine who you see and the crimes they committed. For anyone who is a fan of true crime, and the backgrounds of some of the world’s most well-known killers this list will fascinate you. Start scrolling to see photos of serial killers just going about their regular day to day lives, and the people involved in them. This is a reminder that some people are able to hide a big part of themselves, which is exactly what the men and women on this list did.

Richard Ramirez

Richard Ramirez was an active serial killer in the 1980s with a focus in San Francisco. When he was finally caught, he had reportedly been linked to the passing of 17 men and women.

The media gave him the name of “Night Stalker” as that was the time of day when most of his crimes occurred. While his crimes were well documented, his time spent with a female friend in this photo looks relatively normal.

Just Relaxing

In another photo that shows Richard Ramirez simply enjoying life, you would think that he is just a regular guy. Psychologists have hypothesized that Ramirez may have gone down the path he did because of a rough childhood.

He may have been further influenced by a cousin who had shared some of the bad deeds he did during the Vietnam War. Ramirez never admitted that his actions were wrong, and eventually passed away from B-cell lymphoma.

Dennis Rader

Looking at this picture, you would think it is simply a man enjoying the breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon. Once you find out who exactly that man is, the photo will appear slightly more sinister.

The man smack dab in the middle of this photo is none other than Dennis Rader, the infamous BTK Killer. In his capacity as a serial killer, he was active in the 1970s through to the early 1990s.

The Capture Of Dennis Rader

Over the decades Dennis Rader was active, he claimed the lives of ten people. Prior to his stint as a serial killer, he was a member of the United States Armed Forces, and served in the air force.

It took the police decades to catch him, and eventually they were able to because of his own hubris. He enjoyed the notoriety and would send the police clues, one of which was a floppy disk with incriminating information.
