And by March of 2012 - nearly a year after the spree had started - Russian investigators were sure that this was the work of a single serial killer. had revealed itself to be pretty uniform. For the first six or so months that elderly women were being strangled or smothered to death throughout Kazan, police investigated each of the crimes individually, believing them to be personal in nature (or tied to some kind of impulsive monetary gain). Originally, police had hesitated to label these crimes as part of a larger spree. There, they would find the 8th victim of this mysterious killer, who had been instilling terror in elderly women and their families for almost an entire year. In March of 2012, police responded to a crime scene along Gubkina Street, in the city of Kazan. Although, as you'll learn, this individual has potentially evolved to target older couples in general, and has become known for the region he primarily stalks his prey. Over the past decade, that killer has gone on to kill anywhere between 23 and 32 people, all of whom fit in the same demographic as this victim: elderly women who lived alone, oftentimes in low-rent apartments built decades ago. Police speculated that this had been taken by the killer, who - after leaving the crime scene - locked the door behind him and possibly kept the key or disposed of it elsewhere. The only thing that investigators would state was missing from the crime scene was a key to the apartment, which the victim often left on a table near the front door. However, that didn't explain how someone could (or would) commit such a heinous crime against an elderly widow that lived alone. You see, they would learn that the victim had often loaned out money to a handful of friends and family members some of whom owed her upwards of 180,000 rubles (the equivalent of $6000 at the time). Curiously, nothing of value had been stolen from the apartment, but investigators were not ready to rule out some kind of motive tied to material gain. Investigators would later theorize that the crime had taken place that afternoon, sometime between 2:30 PM and the early evening (when the woman's daughter had arrived). Her adult daughter decided to stop by that evening after work to check in on her elderly mother, and would be the one to discover the woman's body inside her apartment having been strangled and left for dead. Throughout the day, the 82-year-old woman's family would attempt to call her several times but were unable to get through. This possibly provided the killer with an avenue to gain entry into her apartment, but we will never know. This woman's phone had been out-of-order in the days leading up to her murder, and she was waiting for a repairman to come by and fix it. On March 5th, 2011, an 82-year-old that lived by herself in Kazan - who was usually pretty cautious about who she opened the door to, even among her own family - was targeted by this unknown killer. But it was here that a mysterious serial killer would make his first known appearance at the home of an elderly woman, who let her guard down just long enough to become a victim. Kazan has grown to become the 6th largest city in all of Russia and become one of the nation's most reliable economic hubs. In addition to being a major hub for Russian travel and education, Kazan is also home to many diverse ethnic groups, including the Volga Tatars: a Turkish ethnic group that is native to the area (many of whom are followers of Sunni Islam). You may know of Kazan because it was the host of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and has become known as one of Russia's largest and most diverse cities. With a population that exceeds one million, Kazan - which lies along the Volga River, Europe's longest body of water - is located about 800 kilometers east of Moscow, and is the largest city in Tatarstan.
