April 10, 1957 - Valeriy Andreev
Operating across Orenburg Oblast over a six-year period, Andreev targeted girls and women in a pattern of abduction, rape, and murder that drew sustained investigative attention. Despite being conclusively linked to at least seven killings and placed on a wanted list, he managed to evade capture — a fact that defined as much of his case as the crimes themselves.
