“I just wanted to see how it felt to shoot Grandma,” is a quote from the crazy, messed up killer, Ed Kemper.

His parents were Edmund Emil Kemper, Sr. and Clarnell Stage. Kemper had both an older and younger sister. When his parents divorced in 1957, he moved in with his mother in Montana.

He then invited Sara Hallet, a good friends of his mother. Ed murdered Hallet shortly after her
