We present you the 5 teen serial killers who were natural born murderers.
Scientists and psychologists have long disputed whether serial killers are more natural than they are.
Was their propensity for violence a result of life circumstances, or are some people just born killers?
There are probably more serial killers that don’t fit the traditional mold, despite the fact that they tend to be middle-aged white men.
Those who start out as serial killers before they are even out of their teens are arguably the most horrifying of all.
It’s simple to demonize a homicidal adult, but to hate someone who is so young-looking?
Everyone participating experiences a whole new range of feelings as a result.
Here are 5 teen serial killers who tried to get away with murder:
1. Serial Killer James Fairweather
After brutally killing two strangers, James Fairweather was given a sentence in 2016 that included a minimum of 27 years in jail.
Fairweather claims that his obsession with serial killers, particularly his favorite, Ted Bundy, served as the motivation for the killings.
When intoxicated and resting in a park, his first victim was stabbed 102 times to death, while his second was slain with a bayonet.
After the trial, Fairweather’s mother said, “James Fairweather is a monster in our eyes – and we will never be able to forgive him.”
2. Charles Starkweather
Have you seen the motion picture “Natural Born Killers”? The real-life relationship between Charles Starkweather and his 14-year-old lover, Caril Ann Fugate, served as the basis for the tale.
They embarked on a two-month killing rampage after killing Fugate’s mother, stepfather, and two-year-old sister.
11 persons had already passed away by the time they were captured. Fugate served 17 years in prison before being released, while Starkweather received an electric chair death sentence.
3. Mary Bell – 11 years old
Mary Bell, who wasn’t nearly a teenager, worked with her best friend, Norma Bell, 13, who was unrelated despite sharing the same last name.
The two youngsters, who were three and four years old, were both strangled by the pair.
When the police looked into Mary’s background, they discovered that her mother was a prostitute and had been abusive.
She attempted to kill Mary on several occasions and coerced Mary into having sex with males.
While Norma was acquitted of the crimes on account of her feeble-mindedness, Mary served 12 years in a juvenile detention center.
Today, she’s a grandmother and lives anonymously under a new name.
4. William Heirens – 18 years old
William Heirens began committing petty crimes at the age of 13, but, five years later, he turned to murder. After brutally stabbing his second female victim, he wrote a message on the wall in lipstick.
It read, “For heaven’s sake, catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself.”
Sadly, he would murder a six-year-old girl before the police finally caught him.
Heirens served 65 years in a Chicago prison before dying of natural causes.

5. Jesse Pomeroy – 14 years old
Jesse Pomeroy’s case is notorious since he was one of the country’s first recognized teenage serial killers.
When Pomeroy was 12 years old, he started killing young boys in Massachusetts.
He resumed his murdering spree after his family relocated to South Boston.
He was caught by authorities and only spent two years in a juvenile correctional facility.
Pomeroy was given his parole at the age of 14 and went back to live with his mother.
But a short while later, he was held responsible for the deaths of two more kids.
He was later moved to the Bridgewater Hospital for the Criminally Insane after receiving a life sentence.
