MMIW October

In 2009, military officer Hasan went to a Soldier Readiness Center in Fort Hood, Texas and began shooting. In less than ten minutes he had murdered thirteen people and wounded more than thirty others. His career was marred by a lack of care for fellow soldiers, often touting that the people in the middle east should rise up against their aggressors. He is now on death row and expected to have his sentence carried out by the end of the year.

Spain's first serial killer was a man who claimed to be a werewolf. Manuel Romasanta reported being under a witches curse for years causing him to become a werewolf and prey on those in the woods. But as a human, he was a guide for vulnerable women and children, seeking out a better life. After murdering them, he would send letters to family in an attempt to show they were doing well. Meanwhile he would sell their belongings and reportedly use their body fat to create soaps. Manuel was sentenced to death, then changed to life in prison at the decree of Queen Isabell II, dying in prison before he turned 60.  Sources: https://www.fascinatingspain.com/articulo/history-and-legends/the-werewolf-of-allariz-first-spanish-serial-killer/20221026090934068670.html https://phmuseum.com/galleries/lobismuller https://galiciaalive.com/en_US/tag/manuel-blanco-romasanta/ https://thehorrorcollection.com/manuel-blanco-romasanta-werewolf/
