Kendall Francois (July 26, 1971 – September 11, 2014) was an American serial killer from Poughkeepsie, New York, convicted of killing eight women, from 1996 to 1998.〔Mark Gado (CrimeLibrary.com/Serial Killers/Sexual Predators/Kendall Francois: The Disappeared ). crimelibrary.com〕〔http://www.murderpedia.org/male.F/f/francois-kendall.htm〕 He was serving life in prison for his crimes at Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, New York, until his death. It is said that he tested positive for HIV but this was not said to have been related to his death. == Murders == In October 1996, Wendy Meyers, age 30, was reported missing to the Town of Lloyd Police, in Ulster County, New York—across the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie. Lloyd Police Sr. Investigator Gary VanKleeck and Investigator James Janso were assigned the Myers case. She was described as a white female, with a slim build, hazel eyes and short brown hair. She was last seen at the Valley Rest Motel in Lloyd. In December 1996, Gina Barone, 29, was reported missing by her mother, Patricia Barone. Gina was white with a small build, brown hair and an eagle tattooed on her back. On her right arm she had another tattoo that read simply “POP.” She was last seen November 29, 1996, in Poughkeepsie on a street corner, apparently having a dispute with her boyfriend, at the time, and getting out of his car around 2am to look for a customer so she could get a drug "fix." In January 1997, Kathleen Hurley, 47, disappeared. She was last seen walking along Main Street in the downtown area of Poughkeepsie. Hurley, like the others, was white, had brown hair and a small build. The letters “CJ” were tattooed on her left biceps. The same month, City of Poughkeepsie Police, following an extensive investigation, placed Francois' home at 99 Fulton Avenue under surveillance. Area prostitutes reported that he was notoriously rough during sex. In March 1997, a woman named Catherine Marsh was reported missing by her mother. She was last observed November 11, 1996, also in Poughkeepsie. Four months had passed since she was last seen alive. Like the other women, she was white, small build and brown hair. A month later, Poughkeepsie Police made a decision to contact the F.B.I. for help. Although the F.B.I. investigators were interested, they were limited by the circumstances of the case: in order to establish a profile of a suspect, they needed a crime scene. In November 1997, Mary Healey Giaccone was reported missing. This report was actually initiated by the police. Her mother died the previous month. Her father, a retired New York State corrections officer, came to the police to ask for help in locating Mary so he could tell his daughter of her mother's death. Police soon discovered that she was last seen in February 1997 on the same Poughkeepsie streets as some of the others. On June 12, 1998, Sandra Jean French, a 51-year-old mother of three, disappeared. Her daughters reported they discovered her car three blocks from Francois' home. In August 1998, Catina Newmaster disappeared. The circumstances fit with many of those of the other missing women: she frequented the same streets of downtown Poughkeepsie, where she was last seen, and physically resembled the other women who had been reported missing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kendall Francois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
