Famous murderers will be remembered for very different reasons, and here are just two examples: Harvey Glatman was a random/want-ad killer. As a child he enjoyed bondage, and would often hang himself in his attic to achieve sexual fulfilment. Doctors assured Glatman's parents that it was just a phase that he would grow out of! Lizzie Borden is forever immortalized in the playground verse: Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks, And when she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.
