Holy hell, I never knew Dahmer lived in Ames for four years growing up (while his Dad got his PhD).

How the hell does a dude kill 16 people in Iowa, while I'm growing up, and I haven't heard of him?

Looks like we need more names. Tom Arnold deserves a shout out.

I wonder how John Wayne Gacy lived only 6 blocks from my house growing up and I fit his target demographic. Weird things happen right under our noses.

John Wayne Gacy was the GM of multiple KFCs in Waterloo.

Finger lickin' good.

Sounds like a good candidate for "your town sucks..."

Lived in what's now Frederickson Court I believe. Iowa State Daily did a story on it somewhere around 04-05

Dustin Honken was the first infamous Iowan that came to mind for me:

Randy Weaver and his family of Ruby Ridge fame were from Iowa. I think he went to UNI.

Though nowhere near on the same level as these guys...

Was your family completely shocked when he was arrested? You got lucky!

David Lane - large white Supremacist and neo nazi is from Woden Iowa. He created the second version of the 14 words.

Pretty fitting an odinist is from a town called Woden which was the anglo saxon version of Odin. David Lane has some real crazy conspiracies. Like the pyramids were made by the aryans.

Never head of him, and I grew up in the general area.

Is there really a need to postulate about what a **** hole Waterloo is?

Randy Weaver of the Ruby Ridge incident is from Cedar Falls. His parents lived a couple of blocks away from my house.

Well, yeah, failure to appear isn't too nefarious (what they did to him and his family was the nefarious part).

So, they must have been in Ames from 1962-66. Well before my time. Jeffrey was born in 1960 so he was 2-6 years old while in Ames. Probably tough to spot a cannibalistic serial killer at kindergarten recess.

It's wild to me that a home sits on that property.

Someone knowingly bought a home that sits where this guy buried the dead.

I can't believe the energy would be positive

Didn’t they live by Grand Junction?
