However, the serial killer claimed to have killed as many as 40 people, and some investigators involved in the case believe he may have killed more than 300 people.

This makes him possibly the most deadly American serial killer, according to Charles Graeber’s 2007 New York Magazine story, which was the basis for his 2013 book and, in turn, the film.
