October 7, 1954 - Gary Evans
Evans operated for years in upstate New York as both a career thief and a killer, moving between worlds of petty crime and violence with enough skill to repeatedly evade and escape law enforcement. His targets were often associates from within his own criminal circles, making his crimes difficult to detect and his body count slow to emerge. The combination of confessed murders, daring escapes, and an almost theatrical final evasion kept him in regional headlines long after most criminals of his profile would have faded from public attention.
