Arthur Shawcross, the Genessee River Strangler

Arthur John Shawcross (June 6, 1945 – November 10, 2008) was an American serial killer, also known as the Genesee River Killer in Rochester, New York. He claimed most of his victims after being paroled early following a conviction in the manslaughter of two children, which led to criticism of the justice system.

Starting in March 1988, Shawcross began murdering prostitutes in the area, claiming 11 victims before his capture less than two years later. The victims were:

 Patricia Ives, 25
 Frances Brown, 22
 June Cicero, 34
 Darlene Trippi, 32
 Anne Marie Steffen, 28
 Dorothy Blackburn, 27
 Kimberly Logan June Stotts, 30
 Marie Welch, 22
 Elizabeth Gibson
 Dorothy Keller, 59
