January 7, 1978 - Israel Keyes

Keyes operated with a methodical discipline that set him apart from most violent offenders — traveling thousands of miles from home to commit crimes, burying "murder kits" in remote locations years in advance, and deliberately avoiding any connection between his victims. The full scope of his crimes remains uncertain; investigators suspect a pattern of violence spanning over a decade and multiple states, but his suicide while in custody ended any possibility of a complete accounting. What the FBI was able to piece together suggested a man who treated predation as a long-term, carefully managed enterprise.

From Wikipedia

Israel Keyes (January 7, 1978 – December 1, 2012) was an American serial killer, rapist, bank robber, burglar, arsonist, kidnapper and shoplifter. He also sold guns illegally and was cruel to animals.

Keyes is known to have murdered three people. Law enforcement investigators believe he committed a number of other violent crimes across the United States between the late 1990s and early 2012. Keyes was arrested in March 2012 in connection with the killing of a woman in Alaska, and died by suicide while awaiting trial. Evidence in his jail cell led the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to believe he may have killed eleven people.
