August 9, 1971 - Dallen Bounds
Over six months in 1999, Bounds killed four people across two South Carolina towns — some during robberies, others apparently out of personal grievance — before a manhunt ended with a hostage situation and his own suicide. The case resists easy categorization: no single motive was ever established, leaving a pattern of violence that investigators and observers could not fully explain. That combination of varied targets, compressed timeline, and unresolved intent places him in a particularly unsettling corner of American criminal history.
From Wikipedia
Dallen Forrest Bounds (August 9, 1971 – December 23, 1999) was an American serial killer who killed four people in Greenville and Easley, South Carolina - two during robberies and another two out of personal animosity - between June and December 1999. The killings led to a manhunt resulting in him taking two women hostage and his eventual suicide to avoid arrest by authorities.
A definitive motive for the crimes was never established.
