The Terrifying Case of Edmund Kemper: The Co-Ed Killer | Born To Kill? | Real Crime

[@musicalcohol]

He gave himself up only 3 days after he murdered his mother, because he knew he would get caught. He didn't do it out of remorse or skillfulness. It was already over and he knew it, that is why it only took him 3 days. He wanted to do it before the police actually catch him, which would have been inevitable.

@@musicalcohol Getting caught is a whole different thing than being identified as a serial killer. He would've been identified and probably caught but it wasn't a given. Police at the time didn't even co-ordinate among themselves. According to him, his will to kill had been nullified. He was able to talk to young women like a normal person does. He realised killing his mother had been kind of a watershed moment for him. So, he decided to turn himself in. Of course, I don't believe him completely but that's what he said and did. I don't see a reason why he lied because he had been a model prisoner and was even sent to some reform institution where he taught people computer science? I'm not sure what he taught but it was something along the same lines.

[@johnhenderson131]

What truly intrigues and scares the hell out of me is, I’ve seen Kemper interviewed and he comes across as a big lug. Friendly, articulate and intelligent. I think it’s that disarming first impression that made/makes him so dangerous. I’m certain he knows and used that to his sociopathic advantage. My heart goes out to the families he destroyed. When a parent loses a child, that pain remains for life.

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

Yes, I saw clips from an interview at the channel The behaviour panel here at YT. And he has a way a bit like JW Gacy, appear as a guy who'd be a likeable and somewhat humoristic co-worker or a neighbour. And I think that is the scary, not like someone like Ramirez, who you would avoid.

[@johnhenderson131]

@@johannas.l.brushane2518 Yeah, exactly ….Ramirez is a perfect example. His eyes showed the evil!

[@diinferi7485]

It's not a disarming personality. He was social around guys and posed no threats to guys because guys didn't do anything wrong to him. His contempt for the way his mother punished and yelled at him traumatized him to the point to where his mental instability warped her treatment to him as a need to completely dominate and control them. In his mind, the best way to do that was making them a corpse first.

Edmund Kemper has always struck me as one of the most terrifying serial killers. He is highly intelligent, a giant of a man, and carefully plotted his evil deeds. What confuses me though is that he showed extremely strange behaviour from a really young age: At 9 years old, he decapitated dolls belonging to his sister; At 10, he stated that to kiss his teacher, he would have to first kill her; He then started torturing and dismembering animals; As a young teenager, his mother locked him up in the basement, fearing that Ed would sexually abuse his sisters; At 15 he murders his Grandparents???? Spends 5 years with hardened criminals in a mental institution. And then at 20, he is RELEASED, and they warned the youth authorities NOT to send him back to his mother, and yet they did exactly that. It’s actually a series of disasters that Ed Kemper was allowed to rejoin a normal society! Seriously, HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN??????????

Ed and Mary never blamed their mothers for their murders in fact Ed loved his mother more then anything. Kemper was very upfront with what happened there's no reason to lie about the emotional abuse he possibly suffered if he never blamed his mother for anything plus his mother still had no right to treat her son terribly by locking him under a trap door or calling him terrible names or the torture from his sisters as well.

[@princesscarl1656]

There actually have been multiple female psychs on his case over the years; as time went on his apprehensiveness and hostility towards women pretty much vanished. Notice how the one female psych they did interview was one of the later ones; she displayed the same niceness towards his case as the men. It's not just gender; it's experience with him. He's rather asocial as it is, has never been treated great by his female family members, picture an incel talking to a girl right as he's getting out of the incel phase. He's still gonna come off apprehensive and nihilistic. Kemper is not used to women much. He's only been evil to them. He's trying to make the best of his situation, but it's not like he's had to apply his social skills to females much yet. It is a bit different, especially if you're asocial and used to dudes. He has also been apprehensive to male psychologists, though he's much more used to dealing with men, to the point you can't help but respect his approach in the iconic "panic button interview" where displayed a particularly calm and tactical use of intimidation, after around an hour of personal and dark questions that intimidated the interviewer.

@kinG iZZy Um, they don't display empathy towards his actions. In reality, the man has been very forthright and forthcoming; the image drawn by the investigators is pretty much the same one you would draw after looking deep into this case. He at least deserves the gratitude of an honorable portayal of his actions. It's the least they could do after he described the murders in detail with a heavy, emotional manner through the years, helped them find all the bodies he killed, has never committed a violent crime in prison, nor acted in a truly unlikable manner while in prison, helping inmates, those outside the prison walls, and even himself come to terms with their punishments and make the best of it. The man is the definition of vilified, however you might see it.

Serial killers are just a symptom of a sick, sick society. Consider that serial killers as we know them were quite rare before 1870. It wasn't until 1970 that the FBI even recognized that they existed and that's when they invented the term "serial killer". Since 1870, the number of detected serial killers has increased decade by decade until today, See the 1983 FBI film "No Apparent Motive" here on YT. There you will hear FBI profilers tell you that the number of serial killers exploded around 1950. In that film, you'll hear about the then new FBI VICAP system which was intended to track serial killers but it has had only limited success since then. Focusing on individual serial killers, even as the "experts" still do today, will never yield the answer to what serial killers are really all about because they are a symptom of an increasingly sick society. Otherwise, why didn't they exist before 1870 ? Is it the case that "evil" individuals just started appearing around 1870 and have increased in number since then ? There are definitely societal reasons why serial killers exist, but no one wants to look at that because it would tarnish the reputation of the glorious Industrial Revolution and all the wonderful inventions and money that it has generated. As far as I can see, serial killers are an unintended negative side effect of the Industrial Revolution and no one is going to come to grips with this problem until our society admits that. Consider also that serial killers happen more in some countries than in others with the USA leading the pack with 58% all serial killers in history being detected there. Are we to assume that more "evil" individuals reside in the USA, or is it the case that the USA is the sickest society, hence the society where most serial killers have appeared. But as long as people childishly conceive of serial killers as "the Evil Bogeyman hiding beneath your bed" a real scientific understanding of serial killers and the sick society that spawns them will never commence. ...

I cannot fathom why women still in this day and age take chances and hitch hike with all the grizzly murders that have happened to hitch hiking women. Sadly he also preyed on very young naive trusting girls. I was walking once just listening to music in my headphones, and a very handsome looking guy that most women would of given anything to land stopped in front of me, and tried to offer me a ride. He had a nice suv, wearing business clothes, dark hair, and clean shaven. He said to me I don't normally do this, and I'm not some kind of crazy pervert, but you look cute, and maybe could use a ride? I told him no thank you, I like walking. He didn't leave right away though either even after me saying that. He was still trying to convince me, saying to me that he knew a lot of people in town, and they could vouch he was a good person. I have to admit the offer was tempting, but I didn't dare, because I remembered how I heard about Ted Bundy, and what he did. Who knows maybe he really was just a harmless young handsome man just trying to offer me strictly a friendly ride, but I wasn't about to take any chances. Even if it would of turned out that he did know a lot of people in town, he was still a stranger to me. Ted Bundy was popular too, that didn't stop him from being a sadistic serial killer. I'm glad I didn't, especially when I see things like this, but this guy just looks creepy, and the type I would of stayed far away from anyway, but the man I encountered was totally gorgeous, and did not look like someone harmful, but as they say looks can be very deceiving. The guy I encountered, for someone who supposedly knew so many in my town, I've never seen him since, and I go to the local hangout places quite often around here. Never seen him around town since my encounter.

[@Joxman2k]

Good for you :) Something, aside from the situation, set off your alarm bells. He probably was just a nice looking guy who has luck with women and was confident, BUT a normal man doesn't do that. Not sure when this happened but you could have taken his picture and said you've sent it to all of your friends. It would be interesting to see his reaction to that. If he sped away or continued to convince you to get in would be very telling. Use common sense and your gut when weird situations like that pop up.

In the 70s things were quite different.

One of the craziest things about Kemper is that he could have gotten away for a much longer period of time. There was a part of him that seemed to wrestle with himself, that wanted to do the right thing. It was like his conscience was keeping him awake. I don't think any other serial killer that I'm aware of has ever turned on himself and his base desires to try to keep society safe from him. Many have gotten sloppy over time, and BTK's desire to reveal details about his crimes to authorities accidentally showed too much information about himself, too, but they didn't necessarily want to get caught. Kemper did. I'm very grateful that he did. He will always be a bit of an enigma.

[@euridisisorellana9844]

I don't think he wanted to turn himself in... he thought he made a mistake by murdering his mother because he thought he had been discovered, and he murdered her in a disorderly way and he knew they were going to catch him for that. The man does not regret anything, for him they were not women, they were objects.

Kemper helped Mullin come to terms with his killings while they were locked up together (they weren't supposed to be) and even helped change Mullins perspective for the better in the same way Kemper found better purpose in prison.

I remember the first time I learned about Ed Kemper. Saw his interviewed tapes in a shock documentary called "the killing of America" which was about violence and gun culture in 1980s America (despite obviously capitalizing on shock value from the archive footage they showed, it actually was a surprisingly informative and thought provoking film). The way he so coldly and unemotionally talked about his crimes, and the way he admitted that they were abhorrent but did so with absolutely no emotion in his voice, neither deceptive nor sympathetic, was shocking and chilled me to the bone. Some people are just a clear and present danger to those around them, but the scariest thing is is that they can appear like anything. They can be the most soft-spoken, articulate and unlikely person you can think of. You could bump into a potential serial killer at anytime and never know it unless you saw them caught on the news. Think about that. You could've interacted with a killer at any time in your life and you'd never even realize it. Keeps me up at night at times.

I remember when Aiko Koo was taken. She and her mother lived next door to my friend Susan on Hearst St. in Berkeley, where I stayed in 1973. I am hearing details I have never heard before in this video. What a broken system we have! Those psychiatrists at Atascadero have blood on their hands. Sending Kemper to that place was a Ph.D. program for a violent, aberrant young man allowed access to detailed descriptions of sex crimes and how to do them; and he had the cunning and intelligence to fool all those men in charge. Joel Fort was an extremely dodgy character. When Patty Hearst was arrested, he tried to peddle his "expert witness" skills to the defense, first. When they passed, he peddled them to the prosecution. I listened to him give the commencement speech at an experimental psychology Ph.D. program at UC Berkeley, where I worked as an administrative assistant in about 1977. My impression at the time was that Fort was an egomaniac and full of himself. He was enjoying a brief celebrity because of his association with the sensationalism surrounding the Hearst case.
