June 13, 1957 - Gennady Laletin
What distinguishes Laletin's case is the gap between initial prosecution and eventual reckoning — nearly two decades elapsed between his first indictment and his final sentencing, during which he remained at large and continued offending. His flight from justice in Buryatia allowed a pattern of violence to extend across years and victims, underscoring how fugitive status can transform a single case into a prolonged series of crimes.
From Wikipedia
Gennady Vladimirovich Laletin (Russian: Геннадий Владимирович Лалетин; born 13 June 1957), known as Gena the Worm (Russian: Гена-червяк), is a Russian serial killer and rapist. Originally indicted in 1998 for the rape of his stepdaughter in Buryatia, Laletin became a fugitive and committed additional crimes from 2004 to 2010, including five murders.
Arrested in 2015, he later confessed to all respective crimes, for which he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
