September 2, 1940 - Robert Zarinsky
Zarinsky operated in suburban New Jersey over the course of several years, targeting teenage girls whose cases went unsolved or unresolved for extended periods. The gap between his crimes and his eventual conviction — along with the number of deaths he remained suspected of but never held legally accountable for — illustrates how long such cases can remain open. He was ultimately convicted of only one of the murders attributed to him, leaving the full scope of his actions a matter of legal ambiguity.
From Wikipedia
Robert “Bob” Zarinsky (September 2, 1940 – November 28, 2008) was an American serial killer who killed three teenage girls in Monmouth County, New Jersey, between 1965 and 1969. Convicted of one of these murders and sentenced to life in prison, he was also a suspect in four other murders, including the 1958 murder of a police officer in Rahway, but he was later acquitted for that crime.
