May 18, 1946 - William Richard Bradford
Bradford's case carries an unsettling dimension beyond his two confirmed murders: the discovery of photographs depicting 54 unidentified women, released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in 2006, raised the possibility that his victims numbered far higher than the record reflects. He used the pretense of photography to gain access to women, a methodical approach that investigators believe may have concealed a much longer history of violence. The full scope of his crimes has never been established.
From Wikipedia
William Richard Bradford (May 18, 1946 – March 10, 2008) was an American convicted murderer and suspected serial killer and serial rapist who was incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison for the 1984 murders of his 15-year-old neighbor Tracey Campbell and barmaid Shari Miller. In July 2006, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department released a compilation of photos found in Bradford's apartment in the 1980s, depicting 54 different women in modelling poses. As Bradford had used the promise of a modelling career to lure his known victims, and taken pictures of Miller before murdering her, police believe many of the photos depict Bradford's other victims in the moments before their deaths. Bradford died at the Vacaville prison medical facility on March 10, 2008, of natural causes.
