00:00I desensitized myself to it.
00:02Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at the most depraved killer confessions that shocked us.
00:08I tried to make Mr. Otero as comfortable as I could.
00:12Dennis Nielsen. A former civil servant and one of Britain's most notorious serial killers,
00:17Dennis Nielsen was apprehended in 1983.
00:19Upon his arrest, he quickly confessed to the murders of 15 young men,
00:24all committed between 1978 and 1983.
00:27He enjoyed doing it, and I think it's that enjoyment that he got from that first murder
00:32that propelled him to kill again and again and again.
00:36Nielsen lured men to his North London flats with promises of food or shelter,
00:41subsequently strangling and drowning them.
00:43His confessions were horrifying, revealing grisly acts on the remains.
00:47I have to believe that he was going to do something.
00:51He was trying to asphyxiate me.
00:53Nielsen's openness about his gruesome crimes shocked the public and law enforcement,
00:58providing a harrowing glimpse into his disturbed psyche
01:01and the horrors that transpired behind closed doors.
01:04He's nothing. He's a liar. He's taken human lives.
01:12Richard Ramirez. The night stalker terrified Southern California during the mid-1980s.
01:17Richard Ramirez's whole trip was to hide in a tree or hide behind a fence
01:21and watch his victims at nighttime.
01:23His reign of terror ended with his arrest in 1985.
01:27During his trial, Ramirez exhibited disturbing behavior,
01:30including showing no remorse and making satanic gestures.
01:34He confessed to a series of heinous crimes, including 13 murders, numerous assaults and burglaries.
01:39Why on earth would you have hurt those people? Why did you kill those people?
01:47No comments. No comments. I cannot answer that at this time.
01:52His confessions were marked by terrifying details of his brutal attacks,
01:56which involved random victims and acts of extreme violence and torture.
02:00Ramirez's lack of remorse and his macabre fascination with Satanism
02:04added to the horror of his crimes,
02:06painting a portrait of a deeply disturbed and dangerous individual.
02:09His description eludes me, but I have felt powers that are evil.
02:16His trial captivated the nation, exposing the extent of his depravity and brutality.
02:21I don't care about myself, really. I don't care about what happens to me. I never did, really.
02:27Richard Kuklinski, the infamous Iceman, was a contract killer linked to over 200 murders,
02:33although that figure may be exaggerated.
02:35He murdered by guns. He murdered by strangulation. He murdered by putting poison on victims' food.
02:43Arrested in 1986, Kuklinski's confessions were as cold as his moniker,
02:48laying out a career of murder-for-hire while working for various crime families.
02:53Kuklinski earned his nickname by freezing his victims' bodies to obscure the time of death.
02:57How do you feel about killing?
03:00I don't. It doesn't bother me. Doesn't bother me at all. I don't have a feeling one way or the other.
03:13His confessions revealed a methodical and ruthless approach,
03:16using techniques ranging from cyanide poisoning to brute force.
03:20Kuklinski's lack of remorse and matter-of-fact recounting of his crimes
03:23shocked investigators and the public alike.
03:26I've done it always. As far as you've known or heard, there isn't too many things I haven't tried.
03:32His calculated, emotionless demeanor during his revelations painted a terrifying picture
03:37of a man who killed without hesitation or conscience,
03:40solidifying his place as one of America's most notorious hitmen.
03:44And that's...
03:48when it happened one Christmas Eve.
03:51Ed Kemper, the co-ed killer terrorized California in the early 1970s.
03:56He presented as a very personable, appealing young man, attractive.
04:04There were no signs or symptoms of any overt mental illness.
04:10Arrested in 1973, Kemper voluntarily confessed to the brutal murders of 10 people,
04:15including his grandparents, his mother, and six young women he picked up while hitchhiking.
04:20His confessions were disturbingly detailed,
04:22revealing his method of luring unsuspecting targets into his car,
04:26using his imposing 6'9'' stature to overpower them.
04:30The first 24 hours, there were three clear times I should have been busted, and I wasn't.
04:35He also spoke about the psychological torment he endured,
04:38leading to his final act of killing his mother.
04:41My mother was a sick, angry, hungry, and very sad woman.
04:47I hated her, but I wanted to love my mother.
04:51Kemper's articulate and cooperative nature during his questioning
04:54provided a rare insight into the mind of a serial killer,
04:57horrifying investigators and the public with his calm recounting of his monstrous deeds.
05:02If my parole had been successful, I believe I'd be married, I'd have children,
05:09I'd be heading toward my first grandchildren.
05:11Samuel Little, America's most prolific serial killer,
05:14confessed to a staggering 93 murders committed between 1970 and 2005.
05:19We reported on him here last night, and tonight the FBI is now asking for your help
05:23in identifying additional victims.
05:25Arrested in 2012, his confessions came during a series of interviews with the FBI.
05:30Little provided ornate accounts of his crimes,
05:33vividly describing how he targeted vulnerable women, often strangling them.
05:37I seen a sign that said, Little Woods.
05:40So I cut off, I took off the exit, went, and sure enough,
05:45was a road leading into the woods.
05:47These were corroborated by cold case evidence,
05:50revealing his method of avoiding detection by preying on marginalized individuals
05:54whose deaths were frequently misclassified.
05:57So I pulled up in there and concealed the car
06:02in that little vegetation up there on top of the hill.
06:05Little's recollections and sketches of his victims
06:07helped authorities solve numerous cold cases, bringing some closure to families.
06:12His remorseless and methodical recounting of the murders
06:15painted a portrait of a predator who evaded justice for decades.
06:19What could you see from there?
06:20I could see the highway, and in the woods, it's that way.
06:27Aileen Wuornos.
06:28Referred to as America's first female serial killer,
06:31Aileen Wuornos confessed to the murders of seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990.
06:37I just wish I could have done what I did.
06:43I still have to say to myself, I still think that was a self-defense.
06:49Arrested in 1991, her confessions were marked by claims of self-defense,
06:54stating that her victims had either attacked or attempted to attack her
06:57while she was working as a sex worker.
06:59Wuornos talked about how she shot each man at point-blank range,
07:03providing graphic details of the encounters.
07:05And then all day, I was running back in the car or anything.
07:11Her demeanor fluctuated between anger and despair during her recountings,
07:15reflecting a tumultuous life marred by abuse and instability.
07:19Wuornos' subsequent trial captivated the nation,
07:22highlighting the complexities of her character
07:24and the circumstances that led to her becoming a notorious serial killer.
07:27I never provoked those guys.
07:30I never provoked them.
07:31I never showed any provocations whatsoever.
07:34I was very nice, very decent, very clean.
07:37John Wayne Gacy.
07:39This killer clown confessed to the murders of 33 young men and boys in the 1970s.
07:44Thirteen years ago, he told the police how he murdered his victims.
07:47Now he's telling me he never did.
07:49Arrested in 1978, Gacy's confessions were harrowing,
07:53revealing how he lured his victims to his home with promises of work or socializing.
07:57Don't look at me as an innocent babe of the woods.
08:00Once there, he would handcuff and strangle them,
08:02usually performing sexual acts before and after death.
08:06Gacy buried most of the bodies in the crawlspace beneath his house,
08:09with others disposed of in a nearby river.
08:11His demeanor further shocked investigators and the public,
08:14as he described his acts with a bone-chilling lack of remorse.
08:18Gacy's dual life as a respected community member and a brutal killer
08:22added a disturbing layer to his revelations.
08:25Dennis Rader.
08:26The BTK murderer confessed to a series of ten murders
08:29committed between 1974 and 1991 in Wichita, Kansas.
08:34BTK stood for bind, torture, kill, and that was his M.O.
08:39Arrested in 2005, Rader's confessions were detached and methodical.
08:44Had you planned this beforehand?
08:48To some degree, yes.
08:49He recounted how he stalked his targets,
08:52meticulously planning their abductions and murders.
08:54He also outlined his modus operandi of binding, torturing,
08:58and ultimately killing his victims,
09:00taking souvenirs and sending taunting letters to the police and media.
09:04He unveiled his crimes with a deeply disturbing lack of emotion,
09:07revealing a methodical and remorseless killer.
09:11But once you lock in on a certain person, then you become stalking.
09:13And that might be several of them, but you really hone in on that person.
09:17Rader's dual life as a church leader and family man
09:19contrasted sharply with his heinous crimes,
09:22shocking the community and providing a terrifying glimpse
09:25into the mind of a serial killer.
09:27Were you wearing any kind of disguise or mask at this time?
09:30No, no.
09:31Ted Bundy, one of America's most infamous serial killers,
09:35Bundy confessed to the murders of over 30 young women
09:37across multiple states between 1974 and 1978.
09:41As I was looking at it, I saw this figure dressed in black,
09:47all black, raised his arm up over his head.
09:51He had a log in it that he had picked up, a piece of firewood.
09:55Arrested in 1978,
09:57Bundy's confessions came in the days leading up to his execution in 1989.
10:01It's important to me that people believe what I'm saying.
10:07He provided excruciating details about how he lured women with charm and deceit
10:12while pretending to be injured or impersonating authority figures.
10:15Bundy traced his methods of kidnapping and murdering his victims,
10:19then disposing of their bodies in remote locations.
10:21In the past few days, myself and a number of investigators
10:24have been talking about unsolved cases,
10:29murders that I was involved in.
10:32It was a cold, calculated recounting of his crimes,
10:35revealing a monstrously disturbed individual.
10:37Bundy's admissions helped solve numerous cold cases,
10:41while also solidifying his notoriety.
10:43Especially at first,
10:45enormous amount of horror, guilt, remorse afterwards.
10:49But then, that impulse to do it again would come back even stronger.

11:09Jeffrey Dahmer
11:10Known as the Milwaukee Cannibal,
11:12Dahmer confessed to the gruesome murders of 17 young men between 1978 and 1991.
11:18Arrested in 1991.
11:20Bill, when I sat down opposite Jeffrey Dahmer for this interview,
11:23I wondered what he would tell me,
11:25how hard it would be to get him to discuss his horrific crimes.
11:29Dahmer's confessions were shockingly detailed,
11:32revealing a horrifying pattern of luring victims to his apartment,
11:35where he would drug, sexually assault and strangle them.
11:38I was coming back from the shopping mall back in 78.
11:44I'd had fantasies about picking up a hitchhiker
11:48and taking him back to the house.
11:51He also admitted to performing unspeakable post-mortem acts on the bodies.
11:56Dahmer's calm and emotionless recounting of his crimes
11:58provided insights into his disturbed psyche,
12:01as he ruminated on his twisted compulsion to control and possess his victims.
12:05Did you like feeling evil?
12:07No.
12:08No, I didn't.
12:09But I tried to overcome the thoughts and it worked for a while,
12:16but eventually I gave in.
12:19Dahmer's admissions helped investigators piece together
12:21the extent of his atrocities and expose the depths of his depravity.
12:26It was a way of making me feel that they were a part of me.
12:32What other disturbing confessions could have made this list?
12:34Tell us in the comments.
12:36Back when I was smart,
12:38I would let them come to me
12:42in this remote area.
