March 6, 1959 - Faryion Wardrip

Faryion Edward Wardrip (born March 6, 1959) is an American serial killer who sexually assaulted and murdered five women. Four of the women were killed in Wichita Falls, Texas, and the surrounding counties, and one woman was murdered in Fort Worth.

With the murders occurring across multiple jurisdictions, officials from three law enforcement agencies – the Wichita Falls Police Department, the Wichita County Sheriff's Department and the Archer County Sheriff's Department – initially led isolated murder investigations. These investigations were for three of the murders that occurred within a 5-mile (8.0 km) radius of each other. This separation led to multiple news agencies reporting that the isolated investigations delayed Wardrip's capture.

Within 72 hours of the May 6, 1986 murder of Tina Kimbrew, Wardrip called authorities and confessed to her murder.
