User:Acdixon/Harpe brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Micaja "Big" Harpe and Wiley "Little" Harpe were murderers known as the Harpe brothers. They are believed to be among the first serial killers in the United States. Their modus operandi was to hide the bodies of their victims by disemboweling them, filling the hollowed corpse with rocks, and sinking it in a body of water.[1] Because of this, it is impossible to know exactly how many people were eventually killed by the Harpes, although the number is believed to be in the dozens.[1]
