August 7, 1954 - Marvin Gray

Gray's claims of 41 killings across eight states over two decades could never be fully verified, leaving the true scope of his violence unresolved at his death. What is established is that his confirmed and suspected homicides, combined with his designation as Colorado's most dangerous prisoner in the 2000s, reflect a long criminal trajectory beginning as early as 1971. The unresolved question of how much of his confession was truthful makes him a difficult figure to assess historically — neither fully believed nor fully dismissed.

From Wikipedia

Marvin Gayle Gray (August 7, 1954 – July 23, 2013) was an American serial killer. Being a powerlifter, Gray, while imprisoned, achieved incredible results in powerlifting, almost breaking world records. Since 1992, relying on his physical strength, he committed several rapes and murders of fellow inmates, which resulted in taking exceptional measures against Gray by putting him in a high-security prison's solitary confinement cell, restriction of movement within the prison and others.

In the 2000s, he was considered the most dangerous prisoner in the state of Colorado, being convicted of one murder and confirmed to have committed at least two others, personally confessing to killing 41 people across 8 different states from 1971 to 1992. However, the credibility of his testimony continued to be disputed until his death.
