Facts about Edmund Emil Kemper lll:
When he was just a teenager, Edmund Kemper committed a double homicide that shocked both his family and police, leading medical professionals to diagnose the 15-year-old with a serious mental illness.
After killing his victims, Edmund Kemper brought their dead bodies back to his home to dismember their corpses, sometimes performing this grisly task in his bathtub. In the case of 15-year-old Aiko Koo, he decapitated the teenager and put her head in the trunk of his car, intending to dispose of it in the mountains.
On his way to discard Koo’s remains, Kemper kept a scheduled appointment with a psychiatrist: the doctor deemed the serial killer no longer a threat to others, recommending his juvenile record should be sealed, all while Kemper had a severed head in the trunk of his vehicle.
When he was a child, Kemper’s sister teased him about having a crush on one of his teachers, to which he reportedly replied, "If I kissed her, I’d have to kill her first.“ This disturbing statement proved prescient, as Kemper later demonstrated a bizarre desire to mix death with sexuality.
At the same time Edmund Kemper was murdering young female hitchhikers in Santa Cruz, California, two other serial killers, Herbert Mullin and John Linley Frazier, were also operating in the area.
