Edmund Kemper killed 10 people. At age 15 he committed his first murders, fatally shooting his paternal grandparents. He was released from a state hospital at age 21, and in 1972–73 he murdered six female hitchhikers. Afterward he dismembered their bodies and committed acts of necrophilia. In April 1973 he killed his mother, with whom he had a volatile relationship. He then invited one of her friends to the house and also murdered her. Several days later Kemper confessed to the police.
