richard trenton chase

quite possibly the most psychotic sadistic serial killer this country has ever produced. Killed six people in California in the late 1970's, this included women and babies. After he shot them in the head, he had sex with the female corpses, cut their organs out with a knife and blended them into drinks, and then drank and bathed in their blood. He did this because he had delusions that his heart was shrinking and that the Nazis were turning his blood into powder with poison they put under his soapdish, he thought fresh blood would "cure" him. He was later caught and amazingly found sane by a jury and sentenced to the gas chamber at San Quentin. While on death row he overdosed on psychiatric drugs and died. He was only 30 years old.
