10 Infamous Serial Killers Still Alive Today

Serial killers are some of the most sadistic, deranged individuals in the world. They take pleasure and joy from hurting and maiming others until there is nothing left but a dead body. When most serial killers are finally captured after their lengthy period of crime, they are usually either sentenced to death or life in prison with multiple counts – meaning they will never see the outside anytime soon, if at all. Some of them remain in prison even today, despite having been sentenced decades ago. Here are ten infamous serial killers still alive today.
