December 27, 1960 - Ricky Lee Green
Operating in Texas during a concentrated period in the mid-1980s, Green carried out a series of killings that involved his wife as a direct participant in at least two of the cases — a detail that set his crimes apart from the profile of the solitary offender. The collaboration between partners in homicide is relatively rare and complicates the standard narratives of culpability and coercion that courts must weigh. He was ultimately held accountable for all four known murders before his execution in 1997.
