September 24, 1956 - Manuel Pardo
A former law enforcement officer who turned his training and discipline toward systematic killing, Pardo carried out a series of murders in Florida in 1986 that left nine people dead — crimes he approached with apparent deliberateness rather than impulse. His background in policing shaped both the method of the killings and the prosecution's case against him, and he spent over two decades on death row before his execution in 2012.
