Matthew Steven Johnson killed three women in Hartford, Connecticut over about a year. All three were sex workers with drug dependencies, and the deaths were treated separately until he was arrested.
He was born in 1963. Aida Quinones, thirty-three, Rosali Jimenez, thirty-three, and Alesia Ford, thirty-seven, were beaten or strangled between 2000 and 2001. He was arrested on January 13, 2002, initially on charges relating to two of the deaths.
He was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences in 2004. The figure of three or more reflects police interest in other unsolved deaths in the city at the time; nothing further has been established.
