Florida Serial Killers
Since one of my favorite bloggers, Mr. Fab, is from the Sunshine State, I thought I’d dedicate this post to him. Here are a few serial killers who hit the Florida area. I wanted to make note as well that I added two pages over on the side, one for requests and one for reviews. For more information just click those links.
Danny Rolling – the Gainesville Ripper:
The monster who tortured and mutilated five young women a man who was himself the victim of almost constant physical and mental abuse in his childhood. (More Info)
The Florida Gay Bar Murders:
Gary Ray Bowles was a bisexual who cruised the Florida gay bars in the mid-1990′s looking for men to murder and rob. (More Info)
Ted Bundy:
Who doesn’t know about Bundy? He started off terrorizing the North West and after another jail break, he hopped on a bus to Florida. There he murdered college students before being captured, again. (More Info)
Bobby Joe Long:
This sexual predator hit the central region of Florida. (More Info)
Aileen Wuornos:
Probably the most well known female serial killers. She was known for murdering truckers. (More Info)
Yes, we are very proud in Florida
I moved to town about 6 years after the Rolling killings and some people were STILL sleeping with shotguns under their bed. It shook this town up for a long time.
One of the theories about why there are so many killers in Florida is because of the I-10 and I-75 interstates making it so easy to move around quickly. That and the fact that so many people move into Florida every day that it is easy blend in.
I LOVE this place!
In fact, the only thing that really keeps ME from being a serial killer is my distaste for manual labor
nice blog!

You forgot Ottis Toole (most likely to have killed Adam Walsh) and Henry Lee Lucas, who just happens to be a cousin of another serial killer from your list – Bobby Joe Long.
Like Herb said, there is another right now in the Daytona area and another in south Florida abducting/killing people at malls (recently featured on America’s Most Wanted).
sick just fucking sick i haope they have lernd there lessons
just wait just remember the number 36 i’m not going back to jail without the death penalty. i’ve already got 12 under my belt.
you are a sick bastard an even if your lieing you still deserve to be shot just remember you never know who has a glock 19 under there shirt an might blow your fucking head off this is to 36 or bust
Going back to jail 36 or Bust? You would be going to a prison, not a jail. Why the significance of the number 36?
My father was the state attorney for brevard county from 1968 – 1976. he prosecuted a serial killer by the name of daniel thomas. thomas was 22 years old and a student at F.I.T. in melbourne, fl. he killed two lovers at mullet lake park by shooting them. After the murders, there was a very extenive investigation conducted by the local authorities. The investigation lasted monthes with very few leads. Apparently, someone thought thomas know something about the murders so they called him and told him they were coming to his house to talk to him.(PRETTY STUPID). He lived with mom and he had the murder weapon at his house so he went outside before the police came and opened fire on four high school students talking in the street killing two of them. I was in high school at the time withy the brother of one of the victims. I tried to find out some information about this serial killer but nothing turs up. Certainly he should be listed as one of florida’s most vicious serial killers since he took the lives of four innocent victims. Could you see if you can find anything on him? Thanks. Marty in houston
deceased and released in 1998. I just started school at satellite high final year, when this happened. it was the talk of the school at the time. being new at the school, i didn’t know them, but they seemed popular from all the talk i heared. thanks to your dad for putting this maggot away
