![]() ![]() Maria Büdlick, 20, was trying to escape the unwanted attention of a man who followed her after she got off a train, and Kürten intervened.Īfter telling the man to leave, he persuaded Ms Büdlick to come with him to his house to eat, but she declined to sleep with him. Kürten's killing spree finally came to an end when he made a sloppy mistake in a savage attack on a young woman on May 14, 1930. When the older sister returned he stabbed her before biting her throat and sucking the blood from her neck. On one occasion he met two sisters aged five and 14 and bribed the older one to fetch him some cigarettes while he strangled and slashed the younger girl's throat. He even sent letters with the location of where he buried one of his victims to the police to taunt them. Some of his victims survived, often because the sight of them bleeding was enough to satisfy his depraved sexual desires, but none could identify him. Months later he killed Gertrud Franken, 17, in the same way before he was jailed for a string of burglaries and arsons.Īfter his release in 1921 he stabbed, strangled and bashed to death with a hammer numerous other men, women, and girls. The next day he returned to the tavern to listen to people vent their outrage at the murder, and visited the girl's grave to pleasure himself over it. His first confirmed murder was of nine-year-old girl Christine Klein he found sleeping during a break-in, strangled her and slashed her throat with a pocket knife. Kürten could have committed dozens more murders if he hadn't been jailed twice for arson, desertion, robbery, fraud, and burglary. Hanging from a rotating hook and mummified in a gruesome expression, the head of serial killer Peter Kürten is one of many attractions at Ripley's Believe It or Not in Wisconsin Dells ![]()
