    (#1) The Master Chef And Serial Poisoner

    Do you ever think the minor background players on your favorite reality shows might be hiding a dark secret?

    In June 2014, an episode of Masterchef aired that featured English singer JB Gill serving pasta and meatballs to bus drivers. It wasn't until later that people realized that one of the chefs working with him was Stephen Port, who was arrested in October 2015 for poisoning four men.

    It's frightening to realize that the man cooking with Gill met men through gay websites, lured them somewhere, and then poisoned them. Coincidentally, three of Port's victims were found right around the time this episode aired.

    (#2) The Dating Game Killer

    Would you go on a blind date with a serial killer? That's almost what happened to an unlucky woman on The Dating Game back in 1978 when she chose Rodney Alcala over the other contestants.

    On air, Alcala might have been charming and funny, albeit definitely creepy, but his extracurricular activities made him one of the most notorious killers of all time. Nicknamed the Dating Game Killer because of his appearance on the show, Alcala turned out to be a horrendous serial killer and rapist. It's confirmed that he killed several people, but his actual tally is probably in the dozens. He enjoyed strangling his victims.

    It's been speculated that the contestant's refusal to go on a date with him after this show aired might have spurred him to commit even more murders.

    (#3) The BTK Killer, An Upstanding Community Member

     

    Otherwise known as the BTK Killer (for "bind, torture, and kill"), Dennis Rader was a notorious serial killer active in the Wichita, Kansas, area from the 1970s to the 1990s.

    The BTK Killer was particularly adept at blending in, and when he was finally captured and charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder, his community was shocked. He had a wife, who had no idea of his horrendous hobby, and he was even the president of his local church council. He actually gave an interview on air once about animal attacks (snippets of which can be viewed here), and watching the video, it's hard to imagine Rader being a twisted serial killer.

    (#4) The Game Show Contestant Who Revealed A Clue On Air

     

    On December 22, 1985, John Cooper ended millionaire farmer Richard Thomas and his sister Helen in their home. Four years later, Cooper appeared on the dart-related game show Bullseye. He didn't win, which psychologists say would have been extremely infuriating to him. A month later, he killed two more people, Peter and Gwenda Dixon, with a shotgun.

    In fact, his appearance on the show helped prove he was the killer. On the show, Cooper talked about how lovely Pembrokeshire is, which is where he murdered the Dixons.

    (#5) Game Show Contestants Impersonating A Psychopath

    On October 17, 1972, serial killer Edward Wayne Edwards appeared on the popular game show To Tell The Truth, where three people would pretend to be the same person and it was up to the contestant to figure out who was the real one. They were all pretending to be Edwards, who had become famous for being released from jail after killing people and then claiming to be reformed.

    Even though the public believed Edwards, the truth is much more horrifying. After his release from prison, he killed at least five people and wasn't caught again until 2009. He put on such a good act that nobody suspected he was still the same twisted psychopath as before. 

  • Thumb of Reporters Interview a Victim's Neighbor - Who Was Also Her Killer video

    (#6) Reporters Interview a Victim's Neighbor - Who Was Also Her Killer

    Back in June 2011, Mercer Law student Lauren Giddings was brutally murdered and mutilated. As police scrambled to find out what happened, the news did a live interview with Giddings's neighbor and fellow Mercer Law student Stephen McDaniel to try to get more information about Giddings. Little did they know, McDaniel was actually the murderer who snuck in her room late one night, strangled her to death, and then cut her up with a hacksaw.

    For most of the interview, McDaniel plays it cool, but it's very clear that he becomes shaken once the news team reveals that Giddings's body had been found. For a man who studied law, you would think he would have hidden the body better than in a random dumpster.

    (#7) The Distraught Neighbor With A Secret

    In October 2015, 64-year-old Charlotte Nicholas was found stabbed multiple times in the torso, neck, and head. Nicholas's neighbor, 63-year-old Debra Kincy, reported finding the body, and the news interviewed her about the horrendous attack.

    In the interview, Kincy is clearly distraught and upset over the loss of her friend, but that's not the end of the story. Police quickly found texts between the two women that were extremely hostile, and apparently the two were engaged in a dispute over some jewelry. The fight escalated until Kincy went over and murdered her neighbor. It's something you would never guess from the interview.
  • Thumb of The 'Jeopardy' Genius Who Evaded Police video

    (#8) The 'Jeopardy' Genius Who Evaded Police

    "This man, a former Jeopardy contestant, was arrested nearly two decades after his wife died under mysterious circumstances."

    "Who is... Paul Curry?"

    To be on Jeopardy, you have to be pretty smart, which maybe is a good indicator of how Paul Curry escaped being caught after murdering his wife decades earlier.

    His wife, Linda Curry, was found dead in 1994, and the autopsy revealed she died from nicotine poisoning, even though she wasn't a smoker. Paul Curry was a Jeopardy-winning champion who was able to stay one step ahead of the police for quite some time. The investigation was so interesting that 48 Hours did an entire episode about it called it "To Catch a Genius."

  • The Dating Show Contestant Who Murdered One Wife While Searching For Another on Random Killers Who Made TV Appearances Unrelated To Their Crimes

    (#9) The Dating Show Contestant Who Murdered One Wife While Searching For Another

    How could an attractive, successful, wealthy real estate developer and reality show star turn out to be a cold-blooded killer? That's the question that was asked when Ryan Jenkins was accused of killing and mutilating his ex-wife, Jasmine Fiore, and dumping her remains in a trash bin.

    Jenkins had recently appeared on an episode of Megan Wants a Millionaire, where wealthy young men tried to win over a materialistic blonde. His friends and family were shocked when Jenkins was accused, but his behavior made it hard to believe he was innocent. He was always quick to anger and was even charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic violence.

    After he was accused, Jenkins fled to Canada, where he holed himself up in a shady motel and ultimately killed himself before authorities could apprehend him.
