December 20, 1972 - Alexey Ryzhkov
Operating over roughly a year in the Siberian city of Rubtsovsk, Ryzhkov targeted women and a teenage girl in a concentrated series of sexual assaults and killings that ended only with his arrest shortly after his final crime. The case is notable for both the vulnerability of his victims and the relative speed of his apprehension, which came before the violence could extend further.
