July 29, 1963 - Richard Evonitz
Evonitz operated in suburban Virginia communities during the late 1990s, abducting and killing three teenage girls before his crimes were identified — a gap that allowed him to continue undetected for years. The case took a turn when a survivor, Kara Robinson, escaped captivity and provided enough detail to link him to the earlier murders, at which point he fled and died by suicide before facing prosecution. Investigators subsequently suspected him in additional unsolved cases, with confessions made to a family member in his final hours expanding the picture of his activities beyond the confirmed record.
From Wikipedia
Richard Marc Edward Evonitz (July 29, 1963 – June 27, 2002) was an American serial killer, kidnapper, and rapist responsible for the deaths of at least three teenage girls in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and the abduction of Kara Robinson in Lexington County, South Carolina. Evonitz has been suspected of other murders, and confessed other crimes to his sister, shortly before committing suicide.
