May 18, 1927 - Harvey Carignan
His criminal history stretched across decades, beginning with a conviction for rape and murder while serving in the military — a sentence he ultimately escaped before reoffending. What makes Carignan a recurring subject in forensic and criminal history literature is less the final tally of confirmed victims than the pattern: a long institutional record that failed, at multiple points, to interrupt his capacity for violence.
