April 1, 1988 - Alexander Bychkov
Over a three-year span in a small Russian district, Bychkov preyed on men who existed at the margins of society — the elderly, the homeless, and those struggling with alcoholism — groups whose disappearances were less likely to prompt immediate scrutiny. The cannibalism he claimed after his arrest, along with evidence found at his home suggesting a possible victim count beyond the nine confirmed murders, placed him among the more disturbing criminal cases to emerge from provincial Russia in the post-Soviet period.
