Henry Adolph Busch (December 30, 1931 – June 6, 1962) was an American serial killer who killed three women, including his aunt, in California in 1960.

To avoid drawing suspicion, he pulled Miller's clothing over her hips and tore her underclothing to make the murder appear to be sexually motivated.

He invited her to watch Psycho, which had been released months ago at the time, at a local theater.

When Payne was about to leave, Busch suddenly felt an urge to kill her and strangled her to death.

The following day, he bought a sleeping bag, placed Payne's body in it, and tied it shut with a rope.

Afterwards, as Briggs was standing in the room, Busch grabbed her from behind with his left forearm across her throat and strangled her.

According to the police, there appeared to be cigarette burns and other wounds, including bruises around her body and her scalp, which Busch did not explain.

[1] As Busch was being driven to a police station, he told the officers that he had killed two women in the past week and offered to lead them to their bodies.

[1][2] Busch was charged with first degree murder for each killing, and pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
