Peter Woodcock

David Michael Krueger, born on March 5, 1939, and later known as Peter Woodcock, was a notorious Canadian serial killer and child rapist. His heinous acts in Toronto during the late 1950s, which included the murders of three young children, marked the beginning of a dark legacy. After being found not guilty by reason of insanity, he was committed to a psychiatric institution, where he underwent various experimental treatments for his psychopathy.

As an adopted child, Krueger faced significant emotional challenges from a young age. He spent his early years in multiple foster homes, and by the age of three, he found a more permanent placement. However, his inability to adapt to social situations led to bullying and isolation, which further exacerbated his psychological issues. This troubled upbringing contributed to his later criminal behavior, as he would often roam the streets of Toronto, where he engaged in the molestation of numerous children.

Despite the efforts of psychiatrists to rehabilitate him, Krueger's violent tendencies remained unchecked. In a tragic turn of events, on his first day of unsupervised release in 1991, he murdered a fellow psychiatric patient, underscoring the failures of the treatment he received. Following his death on March 5, 2010, he was infamously described in the Toronto Star as 'the serial killer they couldn't cure,' a testament to the complexities of his psychological condition and the impact of his crimes.
