December 10, 1927 - Harvey Glatman
Glatman operated at the intersection of postwar aspiration and predatory deception, exploiting the genuine hopes of women seeking careers in modeling. His method — assuming false identities and the trappings of professional photography — allowed him to isolate victims under circumstances that appeared legitimate before turning lethal. The crimes helped accelerate early developments in criminal profiling and the recognition of organized, methodical patterns in serial offending.
