Geminis are known for always moving at warp speed, the same way that Richard Trenton Chase began doing drugs at only 10 years old, and committed his first murder while he was still young. Below you will find a list of Gemini serial killers, otherwise known as serial killers born in May and serial killers born in June. The Gemini sign encompasses everyone born between May 21 and June 20.
Geminis are known to have two personalities, and they can change faster than the weather - which is why many people might think that most serial killers are Gemini. Gemini is not the zodiac sign with the most murders, but the list does feature such infamous killers as Jeffrey Dahmer, Samuel Little, and Peter Kürten.
Those under the Gemini zodiac sign are smart and social, which unfortunately means some of these killers used their charm to hide their violent motives. Many of these killers also gave in to the Gemini temptation to gossip, leading to their own capture.
Serial killer name: The Milwaukee Cannibal, The Milwaukee Monster
Gemini qualities:
There were two sides to Jeffrey Dahmer, the quiet loner who eloquently talked his way into "day release" one of the times he was arrested for child molestation, and the brutal murderer, necrophile, and cannibal.
Dahmer was always a curious child, collecting dead insects and animals that he later dismembered and stored in jars.
Samuel Little always kept himself busy. When he wasn't committing crimes, he took up boxing during stints in prison.
Little was always on the move, changing locales as soon as he could. During his time as a free man, he lived in Kentucky, Mississippi, and California to name a few places.
Robert Lee Yates served 21.5 years in the military, during which time he started a family and had five children. Such a description rests in stark contrast to the horrific murders he committed against sex workers.
One case truly exemplifies the two sides to the killer. In the case of Melody Murfin, he buried her body just outside the bedroom window of his family home.
Serial killer name: The Genesee River Killer, The Monster of the Rivers, The Rochester Strangler
Gemini qualities:
Arthur Shawcross had a knack for tall tales. For example, he claimed to have killed many people during his time in the military, but this was proven to be patently false. Authorities found he didn't kill anyone during that time.
Serial killer name: The Vampire of Düsseldorf, The Düsseldorf Monster
Gemini qualities:
Peter Kürten displayed intelligence at a young age. However, his academic performance suffered due to abuses he sustained at home.
The serial killer kept busy throughout his adult life. In addition to killing nine people, he attempted to murder 31 others.
Not only would he kill individuals, but he would also try to drink their blood, earning him the nickname, "The Vampire of Düsseldorf."
Birthplace: Mülheim am Rhein, German Empire

Elizabeth Wettlaufer
Birthday: June 10, 1967
Serial killer name: Bethe Wettlaufer
Gemini qualities:
Elizabeth Wettlaufer killed eight elderly patients at the nursing home she worked at. These actions were in sharp contrast to the bright, colorful outfits she would wear on the job, often depicting cartoon characters.
She wasn't afraid of telling on herself. Before she was apprehended, she told various friends about the murders she committed, but sadly, no one took her seriously.
