17. Juana Barraza

Juana Barraza had made a name for herself as a professional wrestler. However, as much as she excelled in the ring, she did some terrible things during her downtime. Today, she is considered La Mataviejita, or The Old Lady Killer. That name is as horrific as it sounds and just as self-explanatory.

Juana Barraza targeted a very specific demographic: elderly women. Her victims tended to be no younger than 60 and often lived by themselves. Her method was to corner the women and either bludgeon or strangle them to death. She went on with this routine from 1998 to 2006. It is estimated that she killed nearly 50 women total, although other sources put the number around 40. In any case, she was sentenced to a total of 759 years in prison.

18. Elizabeth Bathory

Elizabeth Bathory held a very lofty position as a noblewoman hailing from the Kingdom of Hungary. She has gone down in history as one of the most formidable female serial killers of all time. In fact, the Guinness Book of World Records even recognized her for her grim legacy.

Despite this legacy, however, it is not certain exactly how many fell victim to Bathory. Some sources place the number of victims at around 650. What is known is that she did not kill her victims mercilessly. She was brutal, and hundreds of witnesses stepped forward to relay their accounts. Eventually, Bathory’s story warped in places to the point that she seemed like a product of legend. One enduring rumor is that she bathed in her victim’s blood. Whether the rumors hold true or not, it is certain that Bathory’s penchant for torture was very real and many died at her hand.
