May 17, 1980 - David Lefèvre
His trajectory followed a pattern familiar in cold case files — repeated incarceration, repeated release, escalating offenses — until it culminated in two killings near the marshes that gave him his epithet. What distinguishes Lefèvre's case is less the scale than the context: the victims were people he knew, the crimes occurred years apart, and the criminal record that preceded them offered little indication of what was coming.
