Charles Frederick Albright (born August 10, 1933) is an American killer and diagnosed psychopath from Dallas, Texas, who was convicted of killing one woman and suspected of killing two others in 1991. He is incarcerated in the John Montford Psychiatric Unit in Lubbock, Texas.
A career criminal, Albright has previously served jail terms for other offenses.
Born in Amarillo, Texas, Albright was adopted from an orphanage by Delle and Fred Albright.
His adoptive mother, who was a schoolteacher, was very strict and overprotective of him. She accelerated his education and helped him skip two grades.
When he got his first gun as a teenager, he killed small animals with it. His mother would help him stuff them, due to his interest in becoming a taxidermist.
At age 13, he was already a petty thief and was arrested for aggravated assault.
At age 15, he graduated from high school and enrolled at North Texas University. He expressed an interest in training as a medical doctor and a surgeon. He undertook pre-med training but failed to complete it.
At age 16, the police caught him with some stolen petty cash, along with two handguns and a rifle. He spent a year in jail.
After his release from jail, he attended Arkansas State Teachers College and majored in pre-med studies. After being found with stolen items, he was expelled from the college but was not prosecuted.
Apparently unfazed, he falsified a degree. He stole documents and forged signatures, giving himself fictitious bachelor's and master's degrees.
