August 2, 1944 - Tony Costa
Costa operated in a narrow window of time and geography, but the nature of what he left behind — dismembered bodies concealed in a marijuana plot in the woods near Truro — made the case one of the more disturbing to emerge from late-1960s New England. His victims were young women whose remains were recovered only after investigators were directed to a hidden clearing he had cultivated and controlled.
From Wikipedia
Antone Charles "Tony" Costa (August 2, 1944 – May 12, 1974), sometimes referred to as the Cape Cod Vampire or the Cape Cod Cannibal was an American serial killer who was active in and around the town of Truro, Massachusetts, during 1968–1969. The dismembered remains of four women were found in or near a forest clearing where Costa grew marijuana. His crimes gained international media attention when the district attorney falsely alluded to cannibalism.
