Here is an interesting piece of history for you guys
A former Navy machinist, Prince terrorised San Diego, California, stabbing six women to death and provoking the largest police manhunt in the city's history. His crime spree spanned from 1990 to his capture in 1991 and included numerous burglaries, one rape and six murders. Unlike most serial killers, Prince killed women outside his race. He was linked to several of the deaths by DNA evidence and jewellery in his possession that belonged to his victims. He also gave his girlfriend a rare opal ring for Christmas that belonged to his second victim.
FBI experts were called in by the prosecution to find a common thread in all the killings. The signature that connected all slayings was circles of blood smeared on all the victim's breasts.
Some of the victims were stabbed up to fifty times. Prince bragged to a friend about "doing a mother and her daughter," (his last two victims) and took to wearing the mother's wedding ring on a chain around his neck. Usually Prince stalked and followed the unlucky women to their homes. There he would break in, take a knife from the kitchen and attack the women. In 1993 a jury found Prince guilty of six counts of first-degree murder, 20 counts of burglary and one count of rape.
MEANWHILE..... he is still sitting on death row, and he even is on a website with the following entry...
