Who is Carl Panzram?

Carl Panzram was an American serial killer, rapist, and burglar. He was born on June 28, 1891.  In 1915, he looted a house in Astoria, Oregon. While trying to sell the looted stuff he was caught and imprisoned for seven years at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem. While in Salem, he was disciplined several times, including 61 days in solitary confinement before his escape. However, he was recaptured and brought back to prison. He escaped from the prison and took up shelter in different cities under various aliases. Not many know that he even contemplated mass killings and other acts of crime. Poisoning a city’s water supply with arsenic or scuttling a British warship in New York Harbor to provoke a war between the U.S. and Great Britain were some of the plans that Panzram thought of in his life. In his autobiography, he stated to have claimed 21 lives and committed sodomy on more than 1000 boys and men.
