Chester Turner

Turner spent much of his adult life homeless prior to his capture. He spent some time in prison for unrelated crimes during his murder spree. In 2002, Turner was sentenced to eight years in prison for raping a woman earlier that year. While incarcerated, DNA analysis implicated Turner in numerous unsolved murders and rapes. He was sentenced to death in July 2007 for ten murders, and sentenced to death again in June 2014 for an additional four murders. He was also found guilty of the death of the unborn child of one of his victims. Prosecutors have called Turner "one of the most prolific serial killers in the city's history".
