You sure are one to put words in peoples mouths. I said nothing about how many people Alexander killed, only how many Daniel did and the 11 I list are not arguable, he did it, in game events prove it. However the ripper killed people in a very ritualistic/gory way, left them out in public places, and wrote weird notes about it.
Daniel killed some in very nasty ritualistic ways yes. But he killed them all in a castle, in the middle of a dark forest, where no one ever found the bodies. Logic dictates he isn't going to get alot of heat from the law since there are literally, no witnesses, no evidence, or any sort of proof that it even happened. They are just "gone".
As for Alexander, there is no evidence of any kind to suggest he did tons and tons of kidnapping and killing. Even Agrippa will tell you without an Orb he is mostly a toothless dog. So if he has no Orb why would he be torturing all these people for vitae? You guys are the ones who said he did it to extend his life, the game never suggests anything of the sort. It clearly tells you Alexander is not really human, this may just be his races normal life span or some other "event" may have happened when he was exiled that caused him to live so long as a punishment. The only thing you do know is he needs to vitae to power the Orb. The memories in the dog room even suggest he spent plenty of time testing animals so he may have only used human when he had an orb itself.
Last thing you need to do more research yourself buddy. The Order of the Black Eagle was basically the ruling party of Prussia. When you are bro's with the King in a monarchy you can pretty much get away with just about anything. There is no "protection" to it, he was above the law, he WAS the law. Other than the one "messenger" he left to die in his cells he never killed anyone who was high profile. Wilhelm was a disgraced low rank nobleman, no one would miss him hell he took the job hoping Alexander would put in a good word for him, Wilhelm's men were just generic thugs and toughs from who knows where, etc etc. This isn't CSI Miami, there are no forensics, most of these people no one would have ever come looking for from the get go.
Lastly the girl and her family were not well off. They were dairy farmers, they had a farm that accounts for the "large estate" aka house and barn. That doesn't make you "rich" trust me ask any American farmer today. Also they had just been killed literally within the last day or two. People may not even know they are dead yet. This isn't modern times people did live on their own and only go to towns and such once or twice a week back then.
Also castle Brennenburg is basically smack dab in the middle of "Prussian control". Like I said the Order of the Black Eagle are the rulers of Prussia and certain distinguished members from outside the country. The reason I mention napoleon is because Alexander does it himself in one of his own memory things you find in the transept and clearly states the Order had taken issue with him. Am I the only person who actually looked for these things?
