Jack Owen Spillman III-- Referred To Himself As A Werewolf

The most recent case was in 1995. Known as "The Werewolf Butcher" was Jack Owen Spillman III. He only ever referred to himself as a werewolf to his cellmate because he loved to "stalk his prey".  He also declared, later in days, that he wanted to be the world's greatest serial killer. 

A young woman in Douglas County, Washington, was unable to get a hold of her mother or sister, Amanda. So, she went to check on them through the sliding rear door. Inside, she found both their bodies, in two different rooms, with a great deal of blood around them. Once police officers showed up, and observed, the conclusion that both these victims had been sexually mutilated in a variety of ways. They were certain this someone seemed more animal than human.

Amanda, who had been on her mothers' bed, was stabbed, hit on  the head, and then raped, also eviscerating her. Rita, the mother, was lying on a couch, found stabbed thirty-one times, and viciously mutilated. Both victims suffered agonizing pain before death. 

Once detectives checked reports for the night, they learned that a man in black names Jack Owen Spillman III was arrested, not far from the crime scene, on the suspicion of burglary. Spillman had been released from custody, since they had no evidence that it was he who had committed the crime. The detectives looked into his background to find rape, burglary, and attempted rape on his record for the disappearance of a young girl, who was still missing.

Spillman tossed out an item, while under surveillance. Once retrieved, it was a blood-soaked ski mask. There was a blood stain near the opening of the mask, which it was later learned that he drank young Amanda's blood. He was arrested, and his house and belongings were searched. Blood, hair, and fibers were found as more evidence, and Spillman had no alibi. According to a news report, he was a butcher, which explained why the wounds made were so skillful.


Rita was an incidental victim, after stalking the family for months, and keeping an eye on Amanda. Spillman confessed to the double homicide, and included a third, the missing girl to avoid the death sentence. 
Spillman had long fantasized about torturing girls, and wanted to cut the heart out of a victim and eat it. He had wanted to keep all of his victims in a cave, but complained as his first one died too fast because he tortured her with a knife. Spillman received life in prison after pleading guilty to murder on three counts.
