There were two more murders, 15 miles away in the silver lake section.

We have a weird.

A weirdest ride by one investigator is reminiscent of a weird religion.

We are fairly familiar with the United States and our serial killers.

But sometimes there are monsters far worse and far off locations that we may not hear about.

On July 29th, 1968, a man was born who would go down in history as the most prolific

known serial killer China has ever seen. So if you like your coffee hot but your bones chilled,

sit back and start your day with a morning cup of murder.

Yang Xinhai was a criminal from the start. When he was around 20 years old, he was sentenced to labor camp. For theft and just five years after being released, he went on to serve five more years in prison for an attempted rape.

In 1999, Yang was released and immediately escalated

his crimes and would become known as the monster killer. From 1999 to 2003, the provinces of

Enhui, Hebei, Henan, Henin, and Shandong were preyed upon by Yang Zinhai.

He would enter his victim's homes, who are mainly farmers, and murder its occupants with an axe, hammer, or shovel.

He would, in some cases, kill an entire family.

He would wear new clothes and large shoes during each killing to make identification

difficult. In October of 2002, he entered a home and killed the father and his six-year-old

daughter with a shovel before going to rape the pregnant wife. She survived the attack but suffered

from serious head injuries.

On November 3rd, 2003, after a routine police investigation of entertainment venues, Yang was detained for acting suspiciously. When taken into custody, police questioned him and found that he

was the man who was wanted for murder in four provinces.

Shortly after he was arrested, Yang began to confess to his crimes.

According to him, he murdered 65 people, raped 23, and seriously injured another five.
