Well, you could post about John Wayne Gacy--clown at children's parties as well as a serial killer, thus uniting the two themes!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Hee!
Actually, I had an assistant manager at the bookstore whose landlady was Gacy's first wife. Very creepy, thinking about being married to a killer, especially one as notorious as him.

Because books.
See, and I was going to say Kathy's suggestion was so very Right, in that good and twisted wrong way.
John List was from the town where I grew up -- he was another one who killed his entire family, disappeared, and remarried to a completely clueless woman (clueless about his past, that is). So creepy to think about how she felt when they caught him.

List was the one who was found when America's Most Wanted did a age-adjusted model of his face and someone found it a remarkable resemblance to her neighbor, wasn't he?

Yup. They also based the Terry O'Quinn movie Stepfather on the story. (Although he didn't actually have a stepdaughter.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have (well, had, one of them has died) two friends with the same names as multiple killers--I think Colin Ferguson counts as a mass murderer, right? I am completely blanking on the other dude's name--it's a soundalike, but my head is wooly.
Other than that, well, I creeped my sister out by mentioning that I know people who'd do what Dexter did, without needing the bulk of Dexter's motivation. Krav attracts types--what can I say?
