100 Murder Cases

Jerry Brudos, the shoe fetish slayer.

In January 1968, women in Portland were terrorized by Jerry Brudos, a man who was alleged to have a foot fetish and four vanished completely, according to The New York Daily News.

About a year later a fisherman found the remains of a 22-year-old woman, Linda Salee, who had disappeared the year before. Police ended up finding four more bodies and eventually tracked them all back to Brudos. He confessed to the murders in gory detail to the police.

After keeping the body of his first victim for several months, in order to dress her up, he eventually dumped the victim in the river, but not before sawing off a foot to use for trying on heels and taking photos of them. In another horrific find, detectives discovered that he would keep souvenirs of his crimes including shoes, bras, girdles and even a paperweight he made out of human breasts.
