August 28, 1961 - Agustín Ramón Martínez Martínez

Operating across two countries over a span of roughly twenty-five years, he sustained a pattern of killing that endured long enough to suggest both deliberate concealment and a capacity to evade sustained scrutiny. The alias he adopted — evoking a foreign military identity — added a layer of constructed persona to a record that combined violent crime with fraud. His confirmed victims number at least six, though investigators considered the full count likely higher.
