August 20, 1950 - William Suff

His crimes spanned nearly two decades and two states, beginning with the killing of his infant daughter in 1973 and continuing through a years-long series of murders in Southern California after his early release from a Texas prison. Operating in Riverside County through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, he targeted vulnerable women and evaded detection long enough to claim at least thirteen lives before his arrest in 1992.

William Lester Suff (born Bill Lee Suff; August 20, 1950) is an American serial killer who tortured and killed at least thirteen women in Riverside County, California, from 1986 to 1991, earning nicknames such as the Riverside Prostitute Killer and the Lake Elsinore Killer, as some of his victims were dumped in Lake Elsinore. Years earlier, in 1973, he murdered his two-month-old daughter in Texas, a crime for which he had only served ten years of a seventy-year sentence.
