Yeah, I know...he's not a serial killer. BUT, what he truly is, is the inventor of the one-guy-against-the-world-massmurderer. This is the guy who puts all the postal workers to shame !August 1st...1966, the clock is 11.48...At the top of the tower Charles Whitman (An ex-marine) pulls the trigger for the first time, here he has a good view over the Texas university below him. On his way up he bashed in the skull of the receptionist and two people he encountered on the stairwell were shot dead at point-blank range. The evening before he shot and stabbed his mother to death in her home, after that he went home and killed his wife with a knife as well.
Armed to the teeth he didn't stop until an hour and a half later when police stormed the tower and gunned him down, By then 16 people were dead and 30 wounded. Charles had complained about headaches for several years and in a note he left he told that he wanted an autopsy performed to see if there was any mental disorder. His requested autopsy revealed a tumor in the hypothalamus region of the brain, an area directly connected with violent behavior and judgment.
