First State - First Serial Killer

Today we explore the First State’s first serial Killer, Steven Pannell.  He still is a mystery, though what he did is infamous.  While some reported that he had a sometimes rocky relationship with his mother, what was described does not seem to add up to the sheer hatred he had for and need to control women.  This story was horrific then, and it still continues to be.  Let’s not forget his victims nor the lives that Pannell stole from them and their families.
