It should be noted that in the continuity of Manhunter, Lecter (here named Lecktor) is a college girl killer due to being amalgamated with the character of Garret Jacob Hobbs.

The Victims[]

  • At least nine unnamed victims, especially college girls, killed in "bad" ways, including one Princeton student, buried, and one of his own patients.

Attempted[]

  • Unknown victim - now on a respirator at a hospital in Baltimore.
  • Unknown victim - in a private mental hospital in Denver.
  • Will Graham - twice: first "cut" directly and then through proxy, Francis Dollarhyde.

Main Movies Universe[]

While more or less identical to novels, there are certain differences, most notable being that Benjamin Raspail is now a victim of Jame Gumb, mixed with Klaus and yet there's still an unknown identical flutist killed by Lecter in place of him. In Red Dragon, a new victim, not mentioned in the novels, is added named Darcy Taylor. In Silence of the Lambs, an article on Buffalo Bill actually mentions Lecter killing a Stuart Heart. It is unknown how many people Lecter killed in Baltimore prior to capture. Starling tells Pazzi that Lecter had killed at least 14 people that they knew of, meaning that he likely killed nine before capture.
