Jailed seventeen times for mainly minor offenses. Learned the thrill of the kill when he was very young, when he drowned two playmates. Had fantasies about killing very large numbers of people -- many thousands if he could. Convicted of nine murders, but possibly Kurten killed as many as thirty. For fifteen months _______ held the city of Dusseldorf in a state of fear. Killed by guilotine in 1931. In a Zodiac like taunt, he sent a map to the newspaper on how to find the body of one of his victims.
