February 11, 1970 - William Devin Howell

Over the course of 2003, Howell killed seven women in Connecticut, concealing their remains in a wooded area behind a strip mall where they went largely undiscovered for years. The delayed identification of victims and the extended gap between the crimes and his eventual conviction for all seven murders made his case a prolonged reckoning for investigators and the families involved.
