Edmund Kemper III, a psychopathic serial killer, and necrophile who became known as “The Co-ed Killer,” was born December 18, 1948, in Burbank, California. He was arrested in April of 1973, at the age of 24, after murdering six female students, his own mother, and her mother’s best friend.
Despite his relative youth upon capture, Kemper had actually committed his first two murders nearly a decade earlier. Kemper was an extremely intelligent child but he engaged in psychopathic behavior early on. For Kemper, this behavior included the torture and killing of animals, which is a common childhood practice among nearly half of all serial killers.
During childhood, Kemper was physically and emotionally abused by his alcoholic mother, Clarnell, who was divorced from his father. Clarnell frequently locked her son in a dark basement alone at night.
Not surprisingly, Edmund Kemper grew up to hate his mother and at the age of 14 ran away from home in search of his father in Van Nuys, California. After locating but being rejected by his father, young Edmund was sent to live with his paternal grandmother and grandfather in North Fork, California. Kemper claims that his grandmother, similar to his mother, was very abusive and he disliked her intensely.
In 1964, at the age of 15, Edmund Kemper shot his grandmother in the head allegedly just to see what it felt like. He then killed his grandfather, too, because he believed that his grandfather would be angry at him for killing his grandmother. Kemper was subsequently committed to the Atascadero State Hospital for the criminally insane. To his chagrin, he was released into his mother’s care in 1969 after less than five years of confinement and treatment. His juvenile criminal record was expunged.
As a young adult, Edmund stood six-foot-nine and weighed 280 pounds. He frequently thought about killing his mother by 1970 but was not yet ready to do so. The prospect of killing his mother without first perfecting his murder skills on others was too overwhelming for Kemper.
Between May 1972 and February 1973, Edmund embarked on a series of six shocking serial murders in which he picked up hitchhiking female students along the highway and then transported them to rural areas where he would kill and then decapitate them, and have sex with their corpses. He collected their dismembered heads in his apartment and would later have sex with them also.
Similar to other infamous serial killers such as Dennis Rader and the Zodiac Killer, Kemper sought public recognition and acclaim for his murders. This led him to socialize and drink in a bar called “The Jury Room” with the very law enforcement officers who unbeknownst to them were pursuing him. His law enforcement friends began calling him “Big Eddie.”
Edmund finally realized his ultimate fantasy and killed his mother with a claw hammer and strangled her best friend on Good Friday 1973. After having sex with his mother’s decapitated head, Edmund Kemper casually telephoned the local law enforcement authorities to confess what he had done.
The police initially refused to believe him, thinking that their friend “Big Eddie” was just pulling a prank on them. After several follow-up calls and the disclosure of information that only the “The Co-ed Killer” would know, Kemper finally convinced the police that he was the man they sought. He was quickly arrested without incident and charged with eight murders in the first degree. Edmund was found guilty and given a life sentence because there was a stay on the death penalty in the U.S. at the time of his conviction.

the teen who plotted her mother’s murder with her Willimantic boyfriend and stepped over her mother’s body to fetch a cloth so he could wipe off the blood, was sentenced to 40 years in prison in New Hampshire Thursday.
The sentencing — described as “heart-wrenching” by one prosecutor — was held before Judge William Groff in Hillsborough County Superior Court in Nashua, N.H.
Kasinskas, 18, declined to make a statement, but wept as her mother’s fiance tearfully recalled Jeanne Dominico’s love for her daughter and how that love was repaid.
Kasinskas will likely serve 35 years or less. Two-and-a-half years were removed from the sentence because Kasinskas obtained a GED, said her lawyer, Adam Bernstein. Another 2 1/2 years will be shaved off if she completes college, he said.
Kasinskas can ask for a further reduction after serving two-thirds of the sentence, said Senior Assistant Attorney General Will Delker.
Kasinskas pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder on March 28 in exchange for testifying against her boyfriend, William Sullivan, 20.
Sullivan’s lawyers argued that he was insane at the time of Dominico’s death and have appealed his July 15 conviction. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
In handing down the sentence, Groff told Nicole Kasinskas that she is just as guilty as Sullivan, even though she didn’t carry out the murder.
“The judge said that Nicole was every bit as culpable as Billy Sullivan. [Her] sentence is not a light sentence,” Delker said. “It’s one of the longest we ever got in a case like that.”
Unhappy that Dominico wouldn’t let Kasinskas move to Connecticut with Sullivan — whom she had met through the Internet — they tried to kill her with poison, burning her in her bed and by attempting to blow up her house.
On Aug. 6, 2003, Sullivan struck up a conversation with Dominico, 43, in her Nashua living room. Then he hit her in the head with a baseball bat and stabbed her more than 40 times, using three different knives, according to testimony from his trial. All the while, Kasinskas, then 16, waited at a nearby 7-Eleven. Kasinskas testified during Sullivan’s trial that she reluctantly went into her house after Sullivan killed her mother to retrieve a cloth for him to wipe off her mother’s blood. She had to push her mother’s body with the door to get inside, she said.
Victim Advocate Jennifer Hunt, who was in the courtroom, summarized statements made by Dominico’s fiance, Christopher McGowan, and others, including Amybeth Kasinskas, Nicole’s half-sister.
In his statement, McGowan said it was hard for him to think about Kasinskas sitting in Sullivan’s car in the store’s parking lot, reading a magazine while the slaying was taking place. He said that during a cellphone conversation with Sullivan before he carried out the crime, she had heard her mother cry out: ‘Nicole, come home!”‘ McGowan said.
“If only you had,” he said.
He noted that the victim was so well-liked that a school put up a bench and planted a tree in her memory, and the city named a ball field after her
In her statement, Amybeth Kasinskas talked about how hurtful Nicole’s poor choices were, and how she loved Dominico as she would her own mother.

Brok Junkermeier Other News
Two high school friends of Brok Junkermeier testified Monday that he had talked about killing Lila Warwick in the past and that shortly after her death was discovered, he told them details of how he killed the 79-year-old grandmother.
Morgan Hoffer, 20, of Willmar, secretly recorded the conversation on his cell phone.
Jurors at the Kandiyohi County Courthouse in Willmar listened to the muffled recording as the murder trial began its second week.
Junkermeier, 19, of Willmar, faces one count of first-degree premeditated murder and one count of first-degree murder with intent while committing a felony.
Earlier in the day Monday, photos and a video led jurors through Lila Warwick’s home on the east edge of Willmar, where she was found dead on July 29, 2013.
In a hushed courtroom, Mark Patterson, who is a forensic scientist with the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, narrated the video that showed a trail of blood through the home, garage and basement.
It also showed the body of Warwick lying on her back on the basement floor.
Barefoot and wearing black clothing, Warwick had blood and abrasions on her chin and a pool of blood by her left hand.
A lightweight handcuff that Patterson described as a “novelty” or “toy” handcuff was around her left wrist.
The tour through the home also included shots of Warwick’s office nook where the computer screen was open to a bank website that showed her bank balance that day of a little more than $1,500.
There was blood on a blank check that was lying on the floor next to the computer desk, and blood on the computer equipment and chair.
Junkermeier is accused of cutting Warwick’s hand with a knife during the early morning surprise attack and then forcing her to write him a $1,500 check.
After blood got on the first check, Junkermeier allegedly bandaged her hand so that she could write him a clean check.
A series of Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s deputies and detectives testified Monday about what they saw at the house and how evidence was methodically collected and processed.
Much of the afternoon was spent hearing the testimony of Junkermeier’s two friends, Hoffer and Tyler Stegeman.
They both said Junkermeier had talked many times about killing Warwick. And they both said they had not taken such talk seriously.
Stegeman, an 18-year-old senior at Willmar High School, testified that four days before the killing, he and Junkermeier were playing basketball when Junkermeier said he was going to kill Warwick.
The motive was money.
Stegeman said he did not consider it a real threat.
“I honestly didn’t think he was going to do it,” said Stegeman, responding to the attorney’s question about why he did not notify authorities. “Who’s going to kill an old lady?” said Stegeman.
Hoffer said he had heard “bits and pieces” about the murder plans for nine months but thought it was “just talk” and was “something so stupid” he did not take it seriously until he heard that Warwick had been found dead.
Hoffer told the court he called Junkermeier the day after the murder to “say farewell” because he had “put it together” that Junkermeier was involved.
Figuring that Junkermeier would be quickly caught, Hoffer said he called Junkermeier to say goodbye.
The two talked in person for nearly three hours while Hoffer was at work, with Junkermeier providing details of each step of the killing.
During that conversation, Hoffer recorded three short segments on his phone that was hidden from Junkermeier’s view.
Hoffer testified that Junkermeier said he had tried to strangle Warwick and when that failed, he attempted to break her neck and then stomped on her throat and finally stabbed her before throwing her body in the basement.
Junkermeier allegedly told the same story to Stegeman, who testified that he talked to Junkermeier on the phone the day of the killing.
Junkermeier said he had “killed her, strangled her, stomped on her, stabbed her,” said Stegeman, recalling his conversation with Junkermeier.
Hoffer contacted police two days after the death was discovered and informed them that Junkermeier and Warwick’s grandson, Robert Warwick, 18, were involved.
Hoffer said Robert Warwick’s name had always been included when Junkermeier had talked about killing Lila Warwick.
Paul Follmann, a detective with the Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office, testified that he met on July 31 with a nervous Hoffer. Based on information from Hoffer, Follmann said the murder investigation focused on Junkermeier and Robert Warwick.
Robert Warwick, of Willmar, has been indicted on the same set of first-degree murder charges. He is alleged to have planned the killing. No trial date has been set for him.
Devon Jenkins, 16, of Willmar, has already been sentenced as a juvenile for aiding and abetting second-degree murder. He was in the car when Junkermeier was inside Lila Warwick’s house.
In an Aug. 8 statement to police, Stegeman said Junkermeier had not previously talked about killing Warwick. Then in a September interview with the Attorney General’s office, Stegeman changed his story and said Brok Junkermeier had talked about killing Warwick days before she was killed.
When asked Monday why he did not give accurate information to police in August, Stegeman said he was scared.
“I don’t want to sit here in front of him and do this,” said Stegeman, glancing at Junkermeier.
Stegeman and Hoffer had similar answers when asked about Junkermeier’s demeanor when he told them he had killed Warwick.
“He seemed happy,” said Stegeman.
“Excited, I guess,” said Hoffer of Junkermeier. “Proud almost.”
Before recessing for the day, Judge Donald Spilseth reminded the jury they were not to talk to anyone about the case or read or listen to any news coverage.
Brok Junkermeier, the 19-year-old who in the midst of his trial last week surprised even his attorney by pleading guilty to killing his friend’s grandmother, Lila Warwick, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Wednesday morning.
As members of two families — Warwick’s and his own — quietly cried, Brok Junkermeier apologized in Kandiyohi County District Court on Wednesday for the July ambush robbery and attack on Warwick.
“I am so sorry,” he said, after taking off his glasses to wipe away tears. “If I could trade my life for hers, I would.
“I pray for their forgiveness,” he added, referring to the families. “I’m learning to accept my punishment.”
Last week, Brok Junkermeier abruptly changed his plea, admitting on the stand to killing Warwick and saying that he planned the crime with Warwick’s grandson, Robert Inocencio Warwick, 18, whose trial has not yet been set.
Two of Lila Warwick’s granddaughters made statements at Wednesday’s sentencing. Katie Ekbom, 22, said that at first, she was furious about the way her grandmother had died.
“But then it hit me,” she said. “Is this how my grandma would want me to live?”
Their mother, Cheri Ekbom, also spoke, occasionally looking at Junkermeier. She said, in part:
The battle of hatred versus mercy is one that has played out often in my mind the last ten days. Hatred and revenge come easily, and I tell myself I am justified in doing so. Since my mom’s death eight months ago, I have had a compass to guide me. Quite simply, it’s been a compass to honor her. Despite every graphic and appalling word I’ve heard and witnessed, I do not hate. Returning hatred for hatred and evil for evil: She would not, nor will I. In this, I will honor her.
One morning in late July,Brok Junkermeier sneaked into Lila Warwick’s garage with a long dagger, cutting her hands before forcing her to write him a check for $1,500. He detailed how he stabbed and strangled her in an interview with investigators two days after her body was found on the basement floor.
Brok Junkermeier and “Robbie” Warwick had expected to find tens of thousands of dollars in the safe they picked up on a trip back to her home a few hours after her slaying.
But when the pair pried open that safe, “there was just, like, documents,” Brok Junkermeier said in the videotaped interview, including a high school diploma, passport and baptism certificate. They also took $30,000 in savings bonds in the name of Lila Warwick, which deputies later spotted on Junkermeier’s bedside table.

Before Berenice Juarez became a convicted killer at age 18, the Delray Beach teen suffered the horror of childhood sexual abuse and witnessed violent attacks in her home.
Her resulting psychological problems should be a factor when she is re-sentenced for the Feb. 17, 2010 stabbing death of her mother’s boyfriend, Gildardo Ramos Paz, 47, argued Juarez’s attorneys on Thursday.
“If you grow up in an environment of fear, violence, trauma, stress, it changes the way you think,” said Assistant Public Defender Scott Pribble. “We believe the court can really gain insight into why she did this.”
It’s been almost a year since a state appellate court threw out Juarez’s life sentence because of a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mandatory life terms are unconstitutional for juveniles who commit murder. Juarez was 16 when she killed Paz.
Now, the decision is up to Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Karen Miller about whether Juarez, now 21, still deserves a life sentence or a shorter term that gives her chance at freedom.
Miller said she will consider the defense’s new arguments — including remarks by Juarez and the testimony of psychologists during a four-hour hearing — before announcing her ruling May 7.
The Supreme Court still allows life sentences when a juvenile’s crime is so heinous and the possibility of rehabilitation is extremely slim.
Donis Ramos, daughter of the victim, says she hopes Berenice Juarez doesn’t receive a lesser sentence. With tears welling in her eyes, Ramos held up a photo of Paz with his grandson, who was only 2 months old at the time of the murder.
“Did she have compassion on my father?” Ramos said in Spanish, in remarks translated for the court. “She destroyed my life and that of my brothers and my mother.”
The minimum sentence required under state law is 40 years, which is what Pribble and Assistant Public Defender Mattie Fore requested in light of their client’s troubled past and prospects for rehabilitation.
But regardless of the new sentence, Juarez will be eligible to ask a court to review her case after serving 25 years in prison — or when she is 41 years old.
Aleathea McRoberts, chief of the homicide division at the State Attorney’s Office, asked Miller to impose another life sentence and leave it up to another court to reconsider the matter two decades from now.
The prosecutor said there “isn’t justification” for a reduced term, considering the “cold-bloodedness” of Juarez and her “sophistication” in plotting and then carrying out Paz’s murder.
Delray Beach police lead detective Jason Jabcuga, calling it one of the worst killings he’s seen in his career, urged the judge not to reduce Juarez’s sentence
“I have no doubt in my mind that Berenice is a killer, and if she gets out of prison she will do this again,” Jabcuga testified.
On the morning of the murder, Berenice Juarez lured Paz to a parking lot at Congress Avenue and Linton Boulevard by pretending to be her mother, Edith Martinez, and texting him to meet her at 6:40 a.m. that day. The teen said she disapproved of their relationship.
At her 2011 trial, Juarez testified said she didn’t intend for Paz to die, but wound up stabbing him with a knife she had recently stolen from a Walmart.
My emotions got to me, my heart was racing; I just got out of control,” she told the jury, adding she just wanted “to scare him off.”
The teen then walked away, wiped Paz’s blood from the blade onto her sock, ditched the knife in a trash can and continued on to classes at Atlantic High School.
“Day to day I live with the fact that I have taken someone’s life,” Juarez said in a statement she read to the court on Thursday. “I had no right to do what I did.”
Juarez also said she wants a “fresh start” and a “second chance.”
“I want to be accepted back into productive society,” she said, noting how she has obtained a high school diploma since entering prison and is no longer an angry person.
Jason Demery, a neuropsychologist who has reviewed Juarez’s case and interviewed her in January, said she is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
“She has a significant trauma history,” he said, noting her sexual abuse at the hands of a cousin, and watching her mother being abused by a former boyfriend.
Sheila Rapa, a clinical and forensic psychologist, testified by phone that Juarez is an excellent candidate for rehabilitative treatment and is “100 percent open” to it.
Also providing testimony were Juarez’s mother, father, and two older brothers, all asking Judge Miller for leniency.
Francisco Juarez Sr., the felon’s dad, spoke through an interpreter.
“When [the murder] happened she was a minor and I know sometimes young people don’t think about things,” he said. “I ask that you reduce the sentence as much as you can.”

A teenager who opened fire at a rural New Mexico library last year will plead guilty in the August 2017 shooting that killed two librarians and injured four other people, authorities said Tuesday.
Under an agreement signed by Nathaniel Ray Jouett, the Clovis teenager will plead guilty to a total of 30 charges — including two counts of first-degree murder, and multiple counts of child abuse and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, said District Attorney Andrea Reeb.
A plea hearing has not yet been scheduled.
Jouett, now 17, had been a sophomore at Clovis High School in the New Mexico city of just 39,000 people near Texas border at the time of the shooting. His attorney said the teen agreed to plead guilty to all counts to avoid a lengthy trial that could have further distressed victims.
Authorities had identified more than 100 witnesses to the shooting.
“There’s a reason Nathaniel is doing this and the primary reason is to avoid any more trauma for the victims,” said defense attorney Stephen Taylor. “All he’s seeking is an opportunity for treatment, which he desperately needs.”
The Associated Press generally does not identify juveniles charged with crimes as a matter of policy. It has identified Jouett, however, because of the seriousness of the crime.
Taylor has filed a motion advocating for him to be sentenced as a juvenile, saying he is prepared to present scientific research showing that 16-year-old adolescent brains can limit their perceptions and self-control.
Under New Mexico law, 14-year-olds convicted of first-degree murder are guaranteed a hearing to determine whether they should be sentenced as juveniles or as adults. Juveniles between 15 and 17 are not.
Prosecutors said last year that suicide notes were found at Jouett’s home, and the teen’s pastor also has said he contemplated suicide several months earlier.
Jouett told investigators he had been thinking “bad things” for some time and initially planned to target his school because he was angry, court documents said. The teen said he didn’t know why he went to the library and that he didn’t know the victims.
Jouett’s father called Clovis police when he discovered two handguns missing and reported his son missing, but the shooting had already happened.
Asked by investigators what Nathaniel Jouett was thinking during the shooting, he said, “I was mad.”
The teen also said during the interview that no one liked him and he had thought he would kill himself or “kill a bunch of people,” the court records said.
Police said Jouett did not resist officers after they arrived at the library.
The two workers killed were circulation assistant Wanda Walters, 61, and youth services librarian Kristina Carter, 48.
Wounded were circulation assistant Jessica Thron, 30, and patrons Noah Molina, 10, his sister Alexis Molina, 21, and Howard Jones, 53.
