Tips are not the only thing needed to be able to get out of serious situations such as kidnapping. Even though you may know everything you may need to do some people freeze up when in these situations. Though you may be very scared if you do not act quickly you may run out of the very little time that you have and need. The best thing for you to do is try to calm yourself down, think, and act.

The video above is a series of tips and techniques that could prevent you from being kidnapped. A large majority of the killers mentioned below kidnapped their victims. Along with the tips given and this visual help I hope to have given you information that could (but I hope doesn't have to be!) used during your regular life. Thank you for following my blog.

Carrol Edward Cole's first murder occurred when he was just 9 years of age. Though he was a women hater his first victim was a male. During his confession he admitted to killing as many as 16 women. He did this by strangulation, where as he took them home or went back to their house to have sexual intercourse but instead he would kill them.

When Cole was 5 years old his Mother brought many men over her house while Carrol's father was away and forced him to watch her and the men indulge in sexual acts. She beat him to scare him from telling his father when he came home. Because of this he hated women and that it why he chose to kill them. Cole was sentenced to life imprisonment but it was changed to death when he was transferred to a different prison. He was put to death on December 6th, 1985.

Safety tips 

• Always go drinking with a friend, when you're out late alone you are more vulnerable.
• Know your limits. Many of Cole's victims were too drunk to even know what was happening to them when they were strangled.

Some people do anything for the one they love. They may cook, clean, or even in this case ... kill. Karla and Paul Bernardo tortured, raped and murdered 3 girls. One of these girls being Karla's younger sister, Tammy. She also stood behind him if anything he wanted to do, even rape. Not only did he murder 3 girls, he was a serial rapist who raped up to 16 girl in 2 years.

Paul Bernardo was born to Marilyn and Kenneth Bernardo. Kenneth wasn't his real father as his mother cheated on her husband. Paul grew up bright and charming and many women liked him. Karla Homolka was born on May 4, 1970 to Dorothy and Karel Homolka in Port Credit, Ontario. She was pretty, smart and popular. Karla developed a passion for animals and a pet convention is where they met.

Paul and Karla's first murder was Karla's little sister, it was supposed to be just Paul taking Tammy's virginity but turned out be an accidental death. The other two murders weren't. They were caught when Paul's dna matched the dna taken from his own rape scenes. Karla was called in for questioning. When the cops began to talk to her she immediately admitted that he was a rapist and murderer. Paul was sentenced to life in prison while Karla received a lighter sentence and was released in 2005 after only serving 12 years.


Safety tips 

• At night be way more cautious of your surroundings and don't talk to strangers. Paul kidnapped his 3rd victims by beckoning her to his car. She came.
• Try to keep your curfew if you don't, at least have means to get in your house.

On October 1989, Missouri police received a tip that human body parts could be found on a farm owned by an elderly couple, Ray and Faye Copeland. After digging up their yard they found five decomposing bodies buried in shallow graves. After an autopsy report it was determined that each man had been shot in the back of the head at close range. After reviewing their handwritten list of farmhands there was an "x"  next to the dead farmhands' names.

Ray Copeland was born in Oklahoma during 1914, just as WWI was beginning in Europe. Rays parents, Jess and Laney Copeland, moved around frequently as he was growing up and eventually settled in Ozark Hills, Arkansas. During a routine visit to a physicians office, he met a young girl named Faye Della Wilson. The 19 year old was the daughter of Rufus and Gladys Wilson, a hard working couple from Harrison, Arkansas.

Ray was the mastermind and the urge to kill came from the unresisting urge for cattle. The problem with this was that he didn't have any money. He would pick up homeless people and have them sign fake checks and afterwards when they went missing he would just pick a different person. He did this an unknown amount of time but according to the bodies found on his property he did this at least five times.Both Ray and Faye were sentenced to death by lethal injection.
