| Ronald Ralph King may be the notorious New Mexico Serial Killer |
Then, on January 9, 2009, they finally got their answer in the form of a postcard. It had come from an inmate in Virginia State Prison. His name was Ronald Ralph King. He was 38-years-old, serving time on two counts of rape. His expected release date was February 9, 2015. "I killed her," King wrote. "Now do your job and prove it"...

| Eduardo Ravelo: A prolific hit man who murdered his way to the top |
But though he's listed among the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, the agency can't seem to catch him. He's believed to have even had plastic surgery and altered his fingerprints to avoid arrest.
Agents say Eduardo Ravelo is lives quietly and modestly with his wife and children, which has made his capture especially hard. But if you believe prosecutors, he's also a one man crime wave...

UPDATE: Anthony Sowell was arrested last year for choking and attempting to rape a woman. But police didn't believe the victim and set him free. See update after the jump...
Police found 11 decaying bodies in Anthony Sowell's indoor graveyard
Fawcett Bess owns Bess Chicken and Pizza, across the street from the home of Anthony Sowell. This is where police found the bodies of 11 women -- left in the attic, stuffed in crawl spaces, and buried in his backyard. This is also where Cleveland police were called to at least five times in the weeks and months leading up to the discovery. But they did almost no investigation.
Bess recalls an incident two weeks before police discovered the bodies. He found a naked Sowell standing in the bushes next to his house. On the ground was a naked woman bloodied and beaten. Bess called 911 and an ambulance took the woman away. But police didn't arrive until two hours later -- and never bothered to interview him...

Ricky Franklin is suspected in the murder or disappeance of at least 10 women
Ricky Franklin picked up a 21-year-old woman in Jackson, Mississippi Saturday and took her to a club in nearby Bolton. They later repaired to his trailer home. That's where he beat her with a bottle, tried to bite off her ear, sucked her blood, choked her, and brutally raped her, say police.
Franklin was confronted by a relative, so he ran into the woods before turning himself in the next day. But if history's any indication, he may well skate on the crime. He's a suspect in 10 murders and cases of women disappearing. Though he's been tried three times, he's never been convicted...

| Jeffrey Dahmer could have been caught when a naked, bloody boy ran into the street |
"This IS a perfect example of shitty / lazy cops, who are supposed to "serve and protect", and investigate any and all reports. Brings back the Dahmer case.. remember that one?
"Two women find a drunk / drugged up 14yr old boy running down the road, nude, and bleeding from his backside and call 911. Cops show up, and Dahmer tells the cops that the kid is his 19yr old lover. The cops didn't "want to get involved" in a dispute between supposed homosexual lovers, and turn the kid back over to Dahmer, even though the two women try to tell the cops not to...

| Glenn Bagley is the lead suspect in three 1970s murder cases |
It was around Easter time, 1973, when Althea Blankenship and her son Jeffrey were on their way from their home in the Seattle area to a getaway in Greece. The only problem was that they never made their flight. And no one ever heard from them again.
Then, three years later -- and less than one hundred miles away -- Esther Mae Gesler also went missing. She told her five children that she was going away for the weekend. Gesler also never returned...

| Giuseppe "Clutch Hand" Morello, the ruthless boss of America's first Mafia family |
Terror, Extortion, Revenge, Murder and the Birth of the American Mafia
By Mike Dash
Random House
Subject: Giuseppe "Clutch Hand" Morello and what's believed to be America's first truly organized Mafia family.
The Upside: Most Mafia books tend to be first-person tell-alls by the Mafiosi themselves, usually ghost-written by writers whose pact with the subject forces them to not challenge the narrator or dig too deep. And since these tales are being cast by congenital liars, it's hard to know what's fact, what's fiction, and why the career criminal sewing the story tends to be painted in such an honorable light, especially when you know he's really a scumbag...

| He lived with his frail stepmom, making it easy to kill and hide the bodies |
Sowell made spare money scrapping for metal to sell. And since he refused to pay stepmom rent because his dad owned the house, he could use his meager earnings to drink and do dope. Neighbors say he often invited them in to party -- especially the women. Once he got them in the house, they were on his killing grounds.
His stepmom was too frail to climb stairs, so she didn't know what Anthony was doing on the third floor. But according to police, that's where he raped and killed at least six women, then strangled them before burying them in the house...
