June 7, 1940 - Samuel Little
What made Little so difficult to stop was how effectively he operated in the margins — targeting women whose disappearances went unreported or uninvestigated for years, allowing him to continue for more than three decades. The scale of confirmed victims places him in a category unlike any other documented case in American criminal history.
