Arthur Shawcross (born June 6, 1945) is an American serial killer, also known as The Genesee River Killer.

He claimed most of his victims after being paroled early following a conviction for murdering a child, which led to criticism of the justice system.

Early life


He was born in Maine, but the family moved to Watertown in New York State when he was young. Shawcross dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and when he was 19 he enlisted in the army. He fought in the Vietnam War where he was to later confess he had murdered and cannibalized two young Vietnamese girls, although there is nothing to back up this claim.
