Best Answer

Amazingly, there are several. In post-WWII Ray Fernandez and Marth Beck swindled and then murdered at least 18 women on the eastern seaboard and the midwest. They were finally arrested and both were executed in the electric chair at New York's Sing Sing Prison.

Another killer known as a Lonely Hearts killer was a man named Harvey Glattman in the late fifties in Los Angeles. Glattman would advertise for 'models', take them out in the desert east of LA and rape and strangle them. At least 8 women were murdered until one night one of Glattman's intended victims got away and flagged down a California Highway Patrol. Glattman was convicted and executed in 1959.
