December 12, 1934 - Richard Laurence Marquette
What distinguishes Marquette in the record of American serial crime is less the number of victims than the bureaucratic milestone his case produced — his pursuit prompted the FBI to expand its Ten Most Wanted List for the first time. His crimes spanned more than a decade across two periods of freedom, suggesting a pattern that incarceration interrupted but did not resolve.
