    You really need to change the picture for #1 on the list, Charles Albright. The serial killer Charles Albright commited his crimes in the 1980"s and 1990's. The Charles Albright in the picture lived back in the 1800's and fought in The Civil War. You are listing someone that fought for his country as a sadistic serial killer. Please correct this.
