Early crimesIn 1974, a Texas jury convicted Suff and his then-wife, Teryl, of beating their two-month-old daughter to death.[1] The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals later reversed Teryl’s conviction but upheld Suff's in Suff v. State (Tex. 1976) 531 S.W.2d 814, finding insufficient evidence to convict her as either the primary actor or a principal in their baby's murder.[2] Though Suff was sentenced to 70 years in a Texas prison, he served only ten years before his 1984 release on parole. He is currently incarcerated at San Quentin after having been convicted of killing twelve women in California and receiving the death penalty in 1995.[3] MurdersSuff subsequently raped, tortured, stabbed, strangled, and sometimes mutilated 12 or more sex workers in Riverside County, between June 28, 1989, and Dec. 23, 1991. On January 9, 1992, Suff was arrested after a routine traffic stop after a police officer found a bloody knife and objects believed to be related to the killings.[4] Described as a mild-mannered loner, Suff worked as a warehouse clerk for Riverside County when he was arrested, having been hired while still on parole from Texas.[5] During his time in this job, Suff delivered office furniture to the officers on the task force investigating his killing spree.[6] He liked to impersonate police officers and cooked chili at office picnics.[7] It was alleged that he once used the breast of one of his victims in a chili contest and won.[8][9] TrialOn July 19, 1995, a Riverside County jury found Suff guilty of killing 12 women and attempting to kill another, though police suspected him responsible for as many as 22 deaths. Suff did not testify in his own defense.[10] During the penalty phase that followed, the prosecutor presented evidence linking Suff to the 1988 murder of a San Bernardino sex worker, as well as evidence that despite his prior Texas prison term for murdering his first daughter, he abused and violently shook his three-month-old daughter by his second wife. On August 17, 1995, after deliberating for only 10 minutes, the jury returned verdicts of guilty on 12 murder counts and on one count of attempted murder.[11] The jury could not unanimously agree to find him guilty on a 13th count of murder.[12] On October 26, 1995, the trial court followed the jury's verdict and ordered Suff condemned to death.[13] Suff resides on death row at San Quentin State Prison. His 2014 Appeal of the sentence was rejected by the California Supreme Court which upheld the death penalty.[14] Book And TVThe Riverside Killer by Christine Keers and Dennis St Pierre was published in 1996 by Pinnacle True Crime.[15]In 1997 Cat and Mouse - Mind Games with a Serial Killer was published by Dove Books.[16] Suff met with author Brian Alan Lane and told his story. The book includes short stories and poems written by Suff and photos of several of his victims. Suff is the subject of the television program Real Detective, season 2, episode 2. The 40 minute program include dramatic recreations and interviews with the lead detective of the Riverside Taskforce, Det. Bob Creed.[17] The episode first aired on March 9, 2017.[18] VictimsSuff was convicted of 12 murders by a jury.
