Eric Edgar Cooke was a husband and father of seven children by day, but at night he was a a cold blooded killer, with no reason to kill other than he wanted. As a young adult, Cooke would burglarize and vandalize homes in Perth, Western Australia. Soon enough, his crimes came to haunt him and he was arrested after his finger prints were left on everything at every crime scene. He was sentenced to three years in prison for his crimes. Once he got out, his crimes escalated from robbery to murder. Between 1958 and 1963, Cooke murdered eight unsuspecting people in various ways. None of the victims had and similarities or connections, which led police to believe that multiple people were responsible. Eventually, Cooke was caught and confessed to the murderers. Although he described each murder to the point, two of the eight cases weren't believed to be him, as there were two men already in jail for them, wrongfully. Cooke was hanged in 1964, as the last to be hanged in Western Australia.
