August 26, 1986 - Ryan Scott Blinston
Over the span of roughly six weeks in 2020, Blinston carried out a series of killings in a single Northern California city, targeting women who had hired him through his tree-trimming work — a pattern that gave him repeated access to victims under ordinary, domestic circumstances. The combination of occupational proximity and arson reflected a deliberate effort to exploit trust and obscure evidence.
