December 6, 1957 - Dana Sue Gray
Gray's crimes in 1994 followed a pattern closely tied to financial motive — she targeted elderly women and used their credit cards and cash to fund shopping sprees shortly after each killing. The survival of a fourth victim proved decisive, providing investigators with a direct identification that led to her arrest. Her case drew attention to how ordinary consumer behavior left a traceable record that ultimately worked against her.
