659: Ronald Ilg

While his second wife was divorcing him, he was trying to scare her into coming back to him. At the same time, he was carrying on a BDSM relationship with another woman who he forced compliance from by forcing her into an underground storage tank until she agreed to obey him. While on vacation with her in Mexico, he choked her while she struggled to breathe, getting her to agree to sign a sex slave contract signed in blood with their fingerprints.
590: Mack Charles Andrews

Mack Charles Andrews was the pastor of the United Pentecostal Church in Thomasville, Alabama. I confess what this man did has haunted me. He is extraordinarily evil. He raped several children. And now a content warning, do not go further if details of abuse sicken or trigger you. This is one of the most evil of all the predators I have written about.
