June 4, 1964 - Andrew Urdiales
A former U.S. Marine, Urdiales carried out killings across two states over more than a decade, operating in Illinois and California before separate convictions brought the full scope of his crimes into focus. The geographic spread of his actions and the length of time before he faced justice for all eight murders reflect the difficulties that long complicated multi-jurisdictional investigations into serial violence. He died by suicide at San Quentin in 2018 while awaiting execution.
