20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Dexter

16. Dexter Killed Over A Hundred People

You always know when Dexter is about to kill someone. Well, you know because it's the whole premise of the show, but also because every time he does have somebody on the chopping block, Michael C. Hall pulls on that same brown long sleeve Henley shirt. Over the course of eight seasons, Dexter Morgan sure did wear that shirt a lot. But the surprising fact is that Dexter might have killed even more than the murders that were depicted on screen. Apparently he had 45 blood slides in the first of those wooden boxes before it was destroyed, and then has about 43 slides in his new box. On top of that are the twenty or so people that he didn't collect blood from. So all in all, Dexter killed around 117 people. Which means he accounts for roughly 15%-20% of the murders in Miami from 2006-2013, based on actual statistics. You'd think that the local cops would be paying more attention to all these deaths with the same modus operandi. Good thing he always ditched the bodies so professionally.
