Larry Hall

Biography

Larry DeWayne Hall (born December 11, 1962) is an American kidnapper, rapist, convicted murderer, and suspected serial killer. An aficionado of the American Revolution and Civil War, Hall traveled around the Midwest for historical reenactments and is believed to have abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered dozens of girls and women. Hall came to police attention after the discovery of a 15-year-old's remains in November 1993, and was convicted of her kidnapping. He later confessed to that and an additional murder, though recanted his confessions of both crimes. Since his arrest, Hall has confessed to more than thirty-five murders, recanting them all. However, he has also confessed to murders where he was ruled out as a suspect or gave false location for buried bodies, making his claims dubious. Nevertheless, some authorities believe he could be responsible for the deaths and disappearances of between forty and fifty young women, which would place him among the most prolific serial killers in American history.
