His murder of Julie Dart was just a precursor to his grand plan which would earn him enough money to solve all his troubles.

Nestled at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado's first state prison in Canon City traces its roots to the days of frontier justice.

As one of Spain's overseas peace-keeping forces in the besieged city of Mostar, Alfredo Galen was under strict instructions not to respond to provocation. For a would-be hero, he felt useless. He privately told a friend that he wanted to know how it felt to kill. On his return to Spain, he was dispatched to help clean-up an oil spill and felt such a task beneath him. When an argument with a civilian worker turned nasty, he was advised to leave the army on medical grounds. He snapped. This was no way to treat Alfredo Galan. After weeks of brooding, he took to the shadows of Madrid's suburbs waiting to choose someone to kill--at random. His first victim was a janitor, his second a man waiting for a bus. Galan would become one of Spain's worst serial killers claiming six victims and bizarrely leaving a playing card by the bodies of most of those he shot at point blank range.

Stephen Griffiths was a PhD Criminology student who studied serial killers. Mass murderers, The Acid Bath Murderer, the Yorkshire Ripper, fascinated Griffiths. He read books about them and watched films that glorified death. The people who knew Stephen liked him and were horrified to discover that he had murdered three women. His method of murder included using a lethal crossbow fired at point blank range, and after killing his victims he chopped up their body parts and ate some of them. Stephen Griffiths made only one court appearance, the day he christened himself the "Crossbow Cannibal" in front of the relatives of his victims.
