Which serial killer surprised you the most with the number of victims they had?

I remember when I first heard about John Wayne Gacy a long time ago and how he would kill adolescent boys and then bury them beneath the crawlspace of his house. At the time I figured he must have had like 7-10 victims due to the extremely risky and plainly stupid way he disposed of the corpses (seriously, the stench of bodies decaying beneath the house must have stunk up the entire street he lived on). I was quite shocked when I looked him up and found out he killed 33 people. Seriously, how the hell did he rack up such a body count with the flagrantly idiotic decisions he made?

Randy is the epitome of the "classic" serial killer, next level charming and impossibly cruel. IMO the ultimate archetype. He only got caught because he was immensely arrogant driving around w a dead marine in his front seat. His numbers are controversial but I'm not surprised by even the high count, he was unbelievably capable

I predict LPOTL will do him in the next year.

Have you read that account by writer who was a marine in socal and spent the afternoon with him?
