True Crime

You&#39;re on the highway&nbsp;when you catch a glimpse of a Mack truck approaching your car from behind. Its metallic grill shines in the sun, blinding you for an instant&nbsp;as&nbsp;the truck&nbsp;switches lanes&nbsp;to pull up next to you.

In the front of the truck is a driver. He appears normal. Trailing behind is the bed of the truck, full of secrets. A majority of the time, the thing in the back of the truck is just an item&nbsp;on its way&nbsp;to a warehouse. But&nbsp;sometimes, it is something more sinister. Sometimes, the person behind the wheel is a monster.

Truck drivers have the perfect job for serial killing. The <a href="https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/serial-killer/truck-driver-is-best-job-for-aspiring-serial-killers--according-" target="_blank">FBI has concluded</a> the profession is convenient&nbsp;for aspiring serial killers to pick up unsuspecting victims and discard them along the road in another state miles away.

While a life on the road makes many killer truckers hard to find, there have been several convicted serial killers who got caught committing murders on their dream jobs. Here is a list of some of the creepiest truck driver crimes to have occurred on the open road.

While lots of serial killers have relented and confessed to their crimes after being picked up by police, very few have actually turned themselves in to the authorities, presumably because they&#39;re afraid they&#39;ll&nbsp;receive a death sentence or life in prison. However, a small number of serial killers have&nbsp;turned themselves in willingly, often because they are overcome by feelings of remorse, fear, and guilt. These killers who confessed to the police risked execution or spending the rest of their lives in jail in order to clear their consciences. Other killers turned themselves in because they knew the police were closing in on them and they figured the jig was almost up. And at least one murderer on this list may have confessed by mistake while complaining to police about&nbsp;another matter. Read on&nbsp;for a list of serial killers&nbsp;who surrendered, and what they did next.
