September 30, 1953 - Dayton Leroy Rogers

Rogers operated in Oregon during the 1980s, targeting women who existed at the margins of society — addicts, sex workers, and runaways whose disappearances were less likely to prompt immediate investigation. The pattern of victim selection reflects a calculated awareness of vulnerability, a factor that allowed the crimes to continue across multiple victims before he was apprehended. He has been connected to at least eight deaths.

From Wikipedia

Dayton Leroy Rogers (born September 30, 1953) is an American serial killer who has been tied to the murders of at least eight women. He preferred "street" women, usually addicts, sex workers, and runaways. The bodies of six of the women were found at a dump site located on privately owned forest lands outside Molalla, Oregon, and thus he was dubbed the "Molalla Forest Murderer".
