Answer: 1991

He's sometimes referred to as the "Eyeball Killer", or the "Texas Ripper". The exact number of victims is unknown (and most experts still argue) but it is somewhere between one and four.

Answer: Schizophrenia

He was sentenced to 20 life sentences, (a minimum time-served of at least 30 years) and made a large effort to get out of prison and be placed in a mental hospital. He experienced several attacks in prison which resulted in permanent facial scars (from having a coffee pot smashed on him) and blindness in his left eye.
