December 22, 1962 - Scott Erskine
Erskine's 2003 conviction centered on the 1993 murders of two young boys in California, crimes that had gone unsolved for a decade before investigators connected him to them. The ten-year gap between the killings and the conviction underscores the investigative complexity that often surrounds cases of this kind. He died at San Quentin in 2020 during a COVID-19 outbreak that claimed multiple death row inmates within weeks of one another.
