mostly targeted sex workers and killed at least 10 Viennese prostitutes

Unterweger was convicted of killing at least 10 women in
Vienna and abroad. Most of his victims were prostitutes whom he would pick from
red light districts, drive to the woods, and dump in remote areas after strangling
to death with their own bra straps.

some of his female colleagues said that he used to “hate women” and were
confused why so many women still supported him.

This sentiment of hatred against women might come from his
rough history with his mother, who he believed was a sex worker. His possible
impotence also might have driven him to commit these crimes against women.
After his death, a psychologist diagnosed him with narcissistic personality
disorder, which was the reason behind his desire to kill.

He
committed his first murder at the age of 24

Unterweger kidnapped and
killed an 18-year-old named Margaret Schafer in December 1974. He asked the
girl to have sex with him but she refused, which made him angrier. He stoked
her with an iron bar, strangled her with her bra, and left her nude body in the
woods. He then, murdered women several times later on.

During the Austrian serial killer trial, he confessed that he was picturing his
mother while strangling Schafer. He tried to convince the jury that he killed
her under the influence of a psychotic episode.

He killed
three sex workers during his trip to California

Unterweger traveled to Los Angeles to cover a story about
crimes— most particularly prostitution— in the city of angels. He checked into
the infamous Cecil Hotel, known for its sordid and creepy history.

During Jack Unterweger at Cecil Hotel, Unterweger interviewed several victims of
prostitution with the help of a local police officer. While covering the story,
he used this opportunity to kill at least three subjects of his story, mostly
sex workers, strangling them all in the same manner.
