It’s comforting to know that most serial killers have been found, locked up, and taken away from the streets they originally prowled, so that is definitely something you shouldn’t be losing any sleep over. Even the biggest psychopaths sometimes haven’t been clever enough to get away with it and are eventually found, being thrown into a cell and left to think about their actions. The likes of cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, for example, accidently let one of his victims slip out the back door, stumbling down the street in a pair of handcuffs and straight to the police. Careless!

But what you might not know is that not all serial killers are locked up... or locked up forever, at least. Some of these twisted minds were never caught due to their cunning ability to stay under the radar, and some were locked up for just a short while and then released back into the world with just a slap on the wrist.

So, which have been set free? Which still haven’t been found? Your questions are soon to be answered, but watch your backs if you’re in public, as these killers are out there with you.
