October 15, 1962 - Guy Georges
His murders stretched across nearly a decade in eastern Paris, targeting women in their homes and leaving investigators struggling to connect crimes committed across different arrondissements. The investigation was complicated by institutional failures, including a DNA database backlog that delayed his identification for years. He was ultimately caught through a combination of DNA evidence and a former girlfriend's tip — a resolution that raised uncomfortable questions about how many deaths might have been prevented.
