"I hate a bitchy chick"
Stano was an
adopted child. This is something that many point to when
looking at certain killers motives, including Stano, but it
wasn't his whore mother that was totally to blame for his
anger toward people, particularly women.
As a kid he was a bit of a retard. He had problems learning,
and to add to this he had a massive problem with his
co-ordination. He always fell over, usually for no reason.
Because of this he was teased a lot by the other kids.
As he got older he got into more and more trouble with the
police, spending a few years in a military academy, before
graduating high school. Once that was out of the way he
found himself working at a filing station for his adoptive
dad. He also worked as a cook and a waiter.
As one would expect he met a few woman at this time, but all
rejected him. Sometimes even going as far as laughing in his
face. It's no wonder that he came to hate all women, always
refering to them as "Bitches". Years later he would tell of
how some women used to pull his hair, and even throw beer
bottles at him, for no reason. One almost feels sorry for
him.
Stano made his first kill in new Jersey in 1969. He then
moved on to Pennsylvania the next year where he killed six
more. In 1973 he went back home to California where he would
kill another 33 over the next seven years.
His favoured victims were whores and hitchhikers, but he did
manage one cheerleader, and a thirteen year old. He killed
the women through various methods- strangulation, gunshots
and stabbing. Oddly Stano didn't rape any of his victims.
Psychiatrists said this was because he drew enough
satisfaction from the act of murder to care about sex
Stano was arrested after Victim No.42 managed to escape and
go to police. Once arrested Stano told everything to police,
admitting to all the murders, and directed police to 26
buried victims.
Eventually the count made it to 41, and he was found guilty
of nine of them. He received eight life sentences but ran
out of luck on the ninth, drawing death.
He was fried in "Old Sparky" on March 23, 1998.

MY OPINION
Stano is one that I really would love to have a complete
book on. Unfortunately I don't really know a great deal
about him, only a few bits and pieces. Anyway I don't really
like the guy, he was a fucking loser, the kind of guy I
would have hated if I'd known him. But if one were to only
look at numbers he must be considered as one of the best.
Forty-one is a pretty amazing score. And he was a very angry
bloke, who can blame him, but I don't like 'angry' people,
so I have little respect for him. Still, 41 is hard to argue
with.
