June 14, 1933 - Edward Edwards
Edwards spent decades hiding in plain sight — appearing on talk shows, writing a memoir, and living as an apparently ordinary citizen — while investigators remained unaware of the murders he had committed across multiple states. His crimes went unsolved for roughly fifty years, making him one of the more striking examples of how effectively a killer can evade accountability through reinvention and mobility.
From Wikipedia
Edward Wayne Edwards (born Charles Wayne Murray; June 14, 1933 – April 7, 2011) was an American serial killer, rapist, prison escapee, and fugitive. After committing a series of gas stations holdups in the 1950s and early 1960s, he was put on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, leading to his capture in 1962. After his release from prison on parole in 1967, Edwards murdered at least five people between 1977 and 1996 in Ohio and Wisconsin. He was apprehended for these crimes in 2009 and died in 2011.
