William Pierce Jr. was introduced in Mindhunter season 2, and his case is interesting because, while he was originally in jail for a number of crimes like arson and burglary, it wasn't until after he was paroled from prison that he committed the nine murders he was tried and subsequently convicted for. Pierce's case is interesting for Mindhunterlor...
William Henry Hance was another Mindhunter serial killerwho thought he was smarter than law enforcement, though his low IQ was quickly demonstrated by Agents Holden and Barney during their interview. Convicted of murdering three women but suspected of four, Hance was a former soldier who killed around his army base and sent incriminating letters to...
Paul Bateson appeared in season 2 of Mindhunter, and while he was only charged with the murder of an entertainment reporter for Variety, he is often considered a serial killer on Mindhunter. This is due to the belief that he was also responsible for a series of murders in Manhattan that he was never charged with, leading to his eventual parole for ...

Mullin violently murdered 13 people of various ages over a short spree in the early seventies that was spurred on...
Albert DeSalvo (AKA The Boston Strangler) was another serial killer who was only mentioned on Mindhunter, though the case of the horrific strangulation murders that occurred in Boston during the early sixties is much more interesting than the brief nod it received. While DeSalvo confessed to the crimes attributed to The Boston Strangler, there is s...
When it comes to American serial killers, there are a lot of big names whose crimes, or at least whose name, will be familiar to even the average Joe.

One of their lesser-known but ...
But Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. is definitely a weird case, even in comparison to other serial killers. What makes Henley bizarre is that he wasn't a natural-born killer. He actually coincidentally met up with an active serial killer who started using Henley to recruit other victims, and eventually, Henley started participating in the murders himself. T...
It's certainly not a reality that most people would like to face, but the fact that people like Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. or Charles "Tex" Watson actually existed makes it seem like most people are more capable of brutal, repeated acts of violence than anyone would like to admit. Tex was one of the members of Charles Manson's "Manson Family" and he wa...
Within the fictionalized world of Mindhunter, an in-person interview with Charles Manson is the dream of agent Holden Ford and by extension the entire Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI. And it's easy to see why. While Charles Manson is a liar and the information that he gives to Holden and Tench during their interview seems all but useless, Manso...
As far as violent and gruesome acts go, David Berkowitz, better known as the Son of Sam, is actually one of the less violent and pathological offenders that Holden and Tench interview for their studies. Berkowitz terrorized New York with a shooting spree that paralyzed the city with fear, and when he was caught he came up with an absurd story about...
