October 31, 1952 - Robert Charles Browne
Browne's case is defined less by his confirmed convictions than by the letters he later wrote to investigators, claiming a trail of killings spanning decades and multiple states. The gap between what could be proven and what he asserted — nearly fifty victims — placed him in an unusual category: a man whose full history may never be known. Investigators found enough corroborating detail to treat him as a credible suspect in several additional deaths, leaving his true scope a matter of ongoing uncertainty.
From Wikipedia
Robert Charles Browne (born October 31, 1952) is an American murderer who is currently serving two life sentences for the murders of two teenage girls in Colorado Springs, Colorado, committed in 1987 and 1991, respectively. A few years into his sentence, he sent letters to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office in which he claimed to be a serial killer who has killed approximately 48 or 49 people since 1970 across several states.
Though most of his claims remain uncorroborated, Browne is considered a credible suspect in at least seven further killings, for which he has never been charged.
