August 13, 1903 - Peter Kudzinowski

Peter Kudzinowski (August 13, 1903 – December 21, 1929) was an American serial killer who was linked to at least three murders committed within a four-year span.

An alcoholic, he confessed to his crimes while jailed for public intoxication in order to lift the burden of his conscience, stating he committed his murders in an equal state of intoxication. He was sentenced to death by the state of New Jersey after a quick legal process and spent a year on death row before he was executed in the electric chair at Trenton State Prison.

His crimes coincided with those of fellow serial killer Albert Fish, who also committed at least three murders (and was suspected of more) within the same time and area.
