The Frankford Slasher

Between 1985 and 1990, at least eight women were stabbed to death in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia. The victims were largely middle-aged women with connections to prostitution or substance abuse. A man named Leonard Christopher was convicted of one murder in 1990, but two more murders occurred while he was in custody, suggesting he was not the sole perpetrator. The full identity of the Frankford Slasher remains unknown.
