Murderers Who Took Selfies With Their Victims

They couldn't help themselves

We're fascinated by the things that people do to one another when they think they won't get caught. How could a normal person lead a double life of debauchery and sick violence right under our noses? But it does happen, and these killers can't help but take something away from their horrific crimes so that they can remember it. The victim selfie seems to be getting more popular each day.

Now we know him as Dennis Rader, but for three decades he was the mysterious torturer and murderer Bind, Torture, Kill. Among his many crimes, he would take pictures of himself in their bloody clothes after having tied himself up in extreme ways. These photos predate smartphones, but he created the photos all by himself.

Maxwell Morton

Maxwell Morton, who was 17 at the time, shot and killed his own friend Ryan Mangan, and his defense team claimed it was just accidental. But that's pretty hard to argue when Maxwell took a selfie with the boy's body and sent it to another teen over Snapchat. That teen showed his mom the picture who promptly called police.
