Richard Lawrence Marquette: The 11th Name

On June 8, 1961, police in Portland, Oregon received a phone call from a local housewife, as her dog brought home a paper bag containing a severed human foot. While detectives were investigating, the dog returned again, this time with a severed hand. The area was then searched more thoroughly, which uncovered several more body parts, all in fairly fresh condition and all drained of blood. The killer was extremely bold, simply leaving the parts scattered all over the ground, not even making an attempt to bury them. The foot definitely belonged to a woman, as the bright red nail polish on the toes further cemented this. Eyewitness accounts from the week before identified local drifter Richard Laurence Marquette as the last man to  have seen her. This prompted the FBI to do something they had never done before, add an 11th name to the Most Wanted List. Once Richard was caught, he looked to be going away forever, as police found even more body parts in his refrigerator and he actually led them to the location of his victim’s severed head. But somehow, 11 years after he was convicted, Richard was released on “good behavior” and you already know how this goes.
