In 1980, whilst incarcerated at San Quentin Penitentiary, Richard Trenton Chase committed suicide. ibid. caption
Of all his terrors, and there were many, the greatest fear that plagued Richard Trenton Chase through the mid-1970s was that he was going to disappear.
Everybody was after him – Nazis, the FBI, space aliens – and their weapon was an innocent-looking item in his bathroom: the soap dish. It was there that those who wanted to do him in had hidden a secret poison that was slowly turning his blood to powder.
Chase knew only fresh blood could save him and he didn’t care where it came from or how he got it.
The seeds of his mania appeared to have been planted with the marital strife of his parents, a middle-class Sacramento couple, sometime around 1962, when Chase was 12. For the better part of a decade the Mom-and-Pop battle raged. By the time it ended, with the combatants divorced and the father remarried, the boy was showing definite signs that he was out of his mind. Daily News online article 2nd January 2010

CHIKATILO, ANDREI: The Chessboard Killer TV - Encyclopaedia Britannica -
His name was Andrei Chikatilo and he was the worst serial killer in Russian history. The Chessboard Killer, BBC 2006
Chikatilo began his killings in 1978, preying on young victims whom he met at rail stations and bus depots around Rostov-na-Donu and other cities to which he travelled in his various jobs. Because all the victims displayed characteristic mutilations, the police soon became aware that a serial killer was active in the region. Nevertheless, Chikatilo was able to evade detection for many years, in part because his crimes exploited weaknesses in the decaying society of the Soviet Union. Poverty made young people eager to leave their homes for the city, but, since they often had no friends or contacts there and little money, they could easily be lured into dangerous situations, and their disappearances would often go unnoticed.
In 1984 Chikatilo was arrested by a police officer who witnessed him molesting a girl at a train station. Although the briefcase he was carrying was found to contain a long knife and other suspicious instruments, police misidentified his blood type, which their tests showed did not match the type indicated by semen found at one of the crime scenes.
