congenitaldisease:The Lucky Capture of Joel Rifkin - In the early morning hours of 23 June, 1993, New York State troopers were on routine patrol when they observed a vehicle without headlights or a number pate. When they alerted the driver to pull over, he sped up and attempted to flee. When they finally caught up and apprehended the driver, later identified as Joel Rifkin, they were most definitely not expecting the horrific outcome. In the trunk of the car laid the body of a sex worker called Tiffany Bresciani - Joel Rifkin’s 18th victim. Rifkin later went on to confess to murdering 17 other women in New York, having disposed of many of their bodies in oil drums and discarding many in other jurisdictions to confuse the authorities. This routine traffic stop uncovered one of New York’s most abhorrent serial killers. -- source link
