The Heights Of The Most Notorious Killers
The height of a serial killer certainly does not determine their level of maliciousness. Edmund Kemper towered at an intimidating 6' 10" while Charles Manson sat at a miniscule 5' 2". Nevertheless, it's fascinating to learn the heights of the most famous serial killers; it gives a little insight into what it would have been like to interact with them. It's interesting to find out which serial killers you would have seen eye to eye with, although hopefully only with respect to height.
