[edit] Wrong Ed.

"Author Thomas Harris based the character of Buffalo Bill in his book The Silence of the Lambs in part upon Kemper. In the book, Buffalo Bill was a serial killer who, like Kemper, had begun his "career" by impulsively killing his grandparents as a teenager."

This part of the Edmund Kemper article is false- Ed Gein is the killer than Buffalo Bill was based upon. Kemper was a completely different kind of killer than Gein was. It was Gein with the belt of nipples, the flesh masks, the female flesh body suit, and the desire to resurrect his own mother by collecting female body parts. Kemper, on the other hand, detested his mother. This is why he killed her. The above part of the article should either be deleted or fixed.

[edit] The Co-ed Killer

Why is Edmund Kemper known as "The Co-ed Killer"? I know that he his MO was murdering hitchhikers (and family members), yet I cannot find any mention in this article - or anywhere else - as to the origin of his moniker. --MosheA 02:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
