VIDEO: These Are the Smartest Serial Killers of All Time

If there is anything that is worse than a criminal then that is definitely a serial killer that keeps killing over and over again without being caught. When these horrible people are also incredibly smart things get a lot worse for humanity.

According to wonderslist.com, the most common definition of a “serial killer” is someone who kills at least three people over a period of time, though over the years the definition has changed to be at least two killings.

While the average serial killer’s IQ is 94.7, which falls in the “average” range, there are some who do possess higher intelligence. These are the ones that have murdered and
Theodore John Kaczynsk was born on May 22, 1942 in Chicago, but history will remember him as “The Unabomber”.

Not all serial killers murdered their victims face to face, as Kaczynski mailed out bombs to his victims. His targets were mainly professors, and over the period of twenty years, his bombs injured twenty-three and killed three.

Even at a young age, Kaczynsk was a genius, scoring 167 on an IQ test in the fifth grade. Skipping the sixth grade and his junior year, he was in the chess, biology, German, and mathematics clubs.

When he was sixteen years old, he was accepted into Harvard on a scholarship. After graduating from there, he earned his Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Michigan and afterward became a professor at the University of California Berkeley.

Also known as the “Dating Game Killer,” Rodney James Alcala was born on August 23, 1943 in San Antonio, Texas. From 1977 to 1979, he murdered eight women (possibly up to 100). He earned his nickname because he appeared on The Dating Game show in 1978 and actually won a date.
He was an “extraordinary genius” with an IQ of 160. He was top of his class in school, had many friends, enjoyed piano, and was part of the yearbook planning team. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from UCLA and was accepted to New York University’s School of Fine Arts.
Charlene Adelle Williams was born in Stockton, California on October 10, 1956. While it was her husband who did the actual killings, she kidnapped, raped and assisted in the murders of nine women and one man, with some being as young as thirteen.

She was an incredibly intelligent woman with an IQ of 160, “extraordinary genius” level. She possessed a photographic memory and was a violin prodigy, even being accepted to San Francisco’s Conservatory of Music.

Caroll Edward Cole was born in Sioux City, Iowa on May 9th, 1938 to an abusive, adulteress mother. Due to his hatred of his mother, Cole strangled 13 women (and may have killed up to 35) whom he felt acted or reminded him of his mother.

When he was 14, Cole received an IQ tested and scored a 152, which is “genius” level. However, his average grade was a “D+” and only finished the tenth grade, but this may be due to mental illness, physical & mental abuse, and drug use.
