Red, Hannibal has well over 15 victims. Those are 15 victims confirmed by the FBI. These 15 victims Hannibal killed as the Chesapeak Ripper. We know in fact that he killed at least 7 other people. I also find it hard to believe that Hannibal, a man in his 40s-50s, started out only started 4 years ago. (4 years from when the show starts I am saying.)  Most serial killers start out when they are young. Bundy 13-20s. Gacy first molested a kid in his 20s-30s. I think Dahmer first killed at 18. Kuklinski since he was a young teenager. Etc. I'm sure Hannibal's killed other people before. Maybe as a different serial killer. Maybe they were taken as random murders. Maybe he hid the bodies and they were never found.
