(#13) Jerry Brudos
- Dec. at 67 (1939-2006)
Jerome Brudos had several nicknames, including "The Lust Killer” and “The Shoe Fetish Slayer.” It’s the second moniker that became his gruesome claim to fame. Brudos had been obsessed with women’s shoes from an early age, and when he started committing crimes, he’d often steal the shoes of the women he attacked. His crimes escalated in the late '60s, and one of his victims had her foot removed so Brudos could put shoes on it.
When he was caught, Brudos had various female body parts scattered around his garage - and he continued to read shoe catalogues while he was in prison.
