John was born in 1910. He had a strict family so he was denied the pleasures like friends his own age. He became obsessed with thoughts of his salavtion. John believed the only way to become happy after death was the blood of Jesus Christ. If he didn't get salvation God would punish him. His mother was ignorant and superstitious. She made him believe that dreams prophesized the immediate future. John had recurring dreams of the crucified Christ bleeding to death. He killed his victims quickly so they wouldn't suffer like Christ. John was a successful vampire until he murdered his ninth victim. On February 18, 1849 he lured Olivia to his lab to see an experiment in manufacturing artifical fingernails. He shot her in the head. He made an incision on the side of her neck and collected the blood in a glass then he drank it. John took her clothes off and put the body in a forty-five gallon tank with thirty gallons of sulphric acid. John made a mistake when he took the victim's fur coat to the cleaners and pawned her jewelry. A friend of the murdered woman who was acquainted with John and told him she was concerned that Olivia was missing. They went to the police but the police thought something was wrong with his story. The police found out that on February 26 he was taken into custody. After being questioned John admitted everything even murders the police didn't suspect. John then said he couldn't be convicted because there were no bodies for evidence. The police talked John into writing down all the details of his crimes. John told them where to find the remains from the acid baths. Investigators from Scotland Yard went to the spot and took their findings to the police lab. The police Comissioner announced that the following items were found: false teeth, a handle from a purse, three gallstones, pieces of bone, melted fat which was human. John wasn't affected by the charges brought against him. Only one person testified on his behalf while thirty witnesses spoke against him. As the trial went on John confessed that what he did were acutally religious ceremonies commanded by God, and the drinking of the blood was so he could live forever. He was found guilty and was hung.
