Nobody knows. Successful serial killers do not get caught. Amongst those that did get caught, Herman Mudget (H.H. Holmes) was probably the most successful. He was officially charged with 27 murders, but 200 is considered to be a VERY conservative estimate of his victims. An economical murderer, he is known to have defleshed the bodies of victims, articulated the sketons, and sold them to hospitals, medical schools and medical supply houses.
I have sent you a link for a article with a list of serial killers worldwide. However I know you want my answer.
All I can think of is also Jack,both in terms of victims and never getting caught. I suppose we must wonder why he just stopped ?
The Norwegian Island killer bloke
Maybe Harold Shipman, he killed possibly a thousand people although only 15 officially. Took his own life in prison. Im sure there are much worse out there but this is the one that comes to mind.
Gary Ridgway, aka the Green River Killer. He was initially convicted of 48 murders, later he confessed to killing nearly twice that many.

I think Ted bundy has killed most out of the 'famous' serial killers (36). There are plenty of others in the far reaches of the planet who have killed far more tho . I think
There are a couple guys from Columbia that have racked up huge numbers of kills. Somewhere between 300- 400....supposedly.
You spelled Whick incorrectly. It should be whyck.
I wouldn't call that success.
In terms of number of victims.
