Spain's first serial killer was a man who claimed to be a werewolf. Manuel Romasanta reported being under a witches curse for years causing him to become a werewolf and prey on those in the woods. But as a human, he was a guide for vulnerable women and children, seeking out a better life. After murdering them, he would send letters to family in an attempt to show they were doing well. Meanwhile he would sell their belongings and reportedly use their body fat to create soaps. Manuel was sentenced to death, then changed to life in prison at the decree of Queen Isabell II, dying in prison before he turned 60.

Alfredo grew up an introvert, fascinated with guns. Joined the Army at 20 and smuggled a Bosnian weapon back home to Spain after serving two humanitarian missions. He then used that weapon to shoot and kill six, while attempting to kill two others. Alfredo shot his victims at random, greeting them before forcing them to kneel in order to kill them. At his second crime he dropped a playing card, after the media picked up on it, he used it as his signature. That was until he drunkenly walked into a police station and began confessing. He received over a hundred and forty year sentence. But is eligible for parole after serving 25 years, in 2028.

His victims would rapidly suffocate to death in a painful and anxiety producing method. While his original claim was that he murdered hundreds. Eventually Arnfinn recanted his statements. In a trial that lasted five months, Arnfinn was found guilty and sentenced to the maximum-21 years. He was released after 12 years and passed away at age 89.

Still he kept all that hidden, even when speaking to two different psychologists. He began to have trouble with the law as a teenager, something his mother blamed on his choices in friends. 
He was obsessed with bombs, even giving a school report on how to build them. Then he took to buying guns. Some of the guns were purchased legally with the help of his father. But some were obtained through friends. Eventually he unknowingly bought a stolen gun, completing the transaction at school. He was found with the gun in his possessed and subsequently removed from Thurston High school.
