Charles Albright

Passions

American serial killer in Dallas, Texas, known as “the eyeball killer” because his three alleged victims had their eyeballs removed. As a teenager, he would shoot and kill small animals. Interested in taxidermy but with his mother unable to afford glass eyes, he used buttons instead. By age 13, he was a petty thief, arrested for aggravated assault. At 16, he was caught with stolen cash and guns. He spent a year in jail. After his release he attended a teacher's college and majored in pre-med studies. Found with stolen items, he was expelled. Albright was caught stealing merchandise from a hardware store, serving less than six months before he was out again. He sexually molested a nine-year-old girl and received only probation. The bodies of three women were discovered, one each on December 13, 1990; February 10, 1991; and March 18, 1991. Each had been shot and had her eyes removed. On March 22, 1991, Albright was arrested and charged with 3 counts of murder. His trial began on December 13, 1991. The only evidence that was solid was forensic evidence: hairs found at the one of the murder scenes matched Albright. On December 18, 1991, the jury deliberated and found Albright guilty of the murder of that victim. Link to Wikipedia biography
