August 10, 1933 - Charles Albright
Albright operated in Dallas over a span of roughly three years, targeting women whose murders shared a distinctive and disturbing signature — the surgical removal of their eyes. The precision involved suggested anatomical knowledge, and it drew sustained investigative attention before his arrest in 1991. He was convicted of one murder, though investigators long suspected his involvement extended further.
From Wikipedia
Charles Frederick Albright (August 10, 1933 – August 22, 2020) was an American murderer and suspected serial killer known as the Eyeball Killer. He was charged with the murders of four women (Rhonda Bowie, Mary Lou Pratt, Susan Peterson, and Shirley Williams) who were killed between 1988 and 1991 in Dallas, Texas. He was only convicted of one murder and charges in the other cases were dropped due to lack of evidence, although he is still considered the prime suspect. The nickname "Eyeball Killer" was adopted since some of the victims were found with their eyes removed. Albright was incarcerated in the John Montford Psychiatric Unit in Lubbock, Texas, until his death in 2020.
