March 22, 1959 - Lucious Boyd
Boyd's confirmed crimes span a relatively brief window, yet the pattern they suggest — two murders within two weeks, and a cloud of suspicion extending across at least ten other cases — indicates a sustained and largely undetected period of violence. DNA technology, decades after the fact, has begun to close some of those gaps, connecting him to victims whose cases had gone cold. The full scope of his actions may never be entirely known.

Boyd was sentenced to death for the 1998 rape and murder of 21-year-old Dawnia Dacosta and is a suspect in at least ten other homicides and disappearances. He was acquitted of the 1993 murder of a man whom he claimed he stabbed in self-defense. He was profiled on Forensic Files.
