William Lester Suff (born 1950), also known as The Riverside Prostitute Killer is an American serial killer.
He raped, tortured, stabbed, strangled, and mutilated at least 12 Riverside County sex workers in less than three years. 15 years before his murder spree he was convicted of beating his two-month-old daughter to death and sentenced to 70 years in prison, serving only ten before being released on parole in 1984. Five years later, he began cruising around red-light districts in a van, killing as much as 22 innocent prostitutes. Suff allegedly used the breast of one of his victims in his prize-winning chili. His killing spree came to an end on January 9, 1992, when Suff was arrested during a routine traffic stop after a police officer found a bloody knife and objects believed to be related to the killings. On October 26, 1995, William Suff was condemned to death and, to this date, resides on death row at San Quentin State Prison awaiting execution.
