Mark Hopkinson: The Serial Killer That Never Got His Hands Dirty (Part 1)

from History's Biggest Villains · host Jay Peezy

Unless you actually live there, most Americans couldn’t tell you five things about the state of Wyoming. With its wide open plains and sparsely populated areas, crime isn’t much of a worry for its citizens. In fact, the state has only executed one person since 1976 and his name was Mark Hopkinson. As a kid, he seemed to have it all, being a star athlete in multiple sports while also having his way with the ladies. He was deemed by most to be a pretty likable guy, but behind the facade lay a more manipulative and sinister character, one who killed animals for no reason and took nude photos of his female classmates to blackmail them. Mark spoke with a level of conviction that made people do his bidding with no questions asked, so he had a group of low-level thugs that carried out his every desire, as all he had to do was make a call and someone disappeared.
