The Infamous of the 1920's

First we have the Berlin Butcher, who stalked train stations looking for his female victims.  During the first World War he also sold meat - human meat - on the black market.  Nobody knows how many woman he killed but was eventually caught when neighbors called the police to his apartment after hearing a large commotion.

Next we go to France where Henri Landru nicknamed Bluebeard, murdered many  women during World War I.  A con artist, Landru found his victims through lonely hearts ads.  Using false identities, he  would string them along as he gathered information on their finances, then lure them to a rented villa to be murdered.  He'd steal  all their possessions and start again.  He was eventually caught largely through the actions of Marie Lacoste, the half sister of one of his victims.

When Carl Wanderer  wished to get rid of his wife Ruth who was expecting their first child, he enlisted the help of a ragged stranger to follow the couple. Carl then shot them both and blamed his wife's murder on the vagrant.  The police quickly became suspicious when they discovered Carl's affair with another young woman.  The stranger's identity was never discovered and despite his scruffy clothing,  he had a recent manicure and was closely shaven suggesting that he was not a penniless vagrant.

Finally our last infamous character from 1920 is Admiral Vermilion.

Yep a cat that eats dog biscuits.  As far as I know he did not murder anyone but had a lot of sex resulting in many offspring.  Good thing he did not make Bluebeard's list as he was quite wealthy.
