THIS DAY IN SERIAL KILLER HISTORY

Every date below is drawn from the Serial Killer Archives, the verified roster of 964 cases on this site. Each entry records one event dated to that day: an arrest, an execution, a killing, a sentence, a birth. Where a case is disputed, the archive entry for that person sets out what was proved and what was only claimed.

Every day of the year now carries an entry. June 4 was the last blank, filled from the magazine archive rather than the roster.

If you want this as an object rather than a page, the Serial Killer Calendar book covers all 365 days with facts, trivia and true crime artwork throughout.
