September 8, 1944 - Paul Michael Stephani
What set Stephani apart from other serial killers of his era was not merely the crimes themselves, but the calls he made afterward — anonymous, tearful, and apparently genuine in their distress — reporting his own attacks to police. The pattern revealed a rare and unsettling internal conflict, documented across multiple incidents, that made him a subject of lasting forensic and psychological interest. His case remains notable for the way it complicated conventional frameworks for understanding motive and self-awareness in violent offenders.
From Wikipedia
Paul Michael Stephani (September 8, 1944 – June 12, 1998) was an American serial killer. He was also known as the Weepy-Voiced Killer due to a series of telephone calls he made to police, anonymously reporting his crimes in a remorseful and high-pitched voice. Stephani killed three women in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, and two other women survived Stephani's violent attacks.
