Terrifying Serial Killers Still On The Loose

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

InfoBarrel calls this dude "Hawaii's first-ever serial killer," as if the accomplishment were on par with Hawaii's first-ever golf champion or its first-ever celebrity chef. It's frankly a pretty weird descriptor for a guy who kills people for fun, but okay. The Honolulu strangler killed at least five women between 1985 and 1986, and his MO was always exactly the same. He bound his victims' hands behind their backs, then raped and strangled them.

Here's what happened next: Police arrested a guy whose girlfriend and ex-wife both said he liked to tie their hands behind their backs while they would do the horizontal tango. Even more damning, the man's girlfriend told police that the murders occurred on nights when he'd gone out after a lover's quarrel.

The suspect even failed a polygraph test, but polygraphs aren't admissible evidence, so police had to let him go. And after that, the murders stopped. It's okay, though, if Hawaii is lucky maybe one day it'll get its "second-ever serial killer," which should be awesome for everyone, but not really.

So to sum up, don't sell yourself, don't work in a mall off Interstate 70, don't be a brunette, don't kiss anyone in a parked car, don't go anywhere with therapists you meet in bars, don't open your door on February 9, don't sleep on the streets of Calcutta, don't get a flat tire, and mostly just don't be female. That ought to protect you from becoming a serial killer's victim. But not really.
