Robert Maury

Robert Edward Maury, known as the Tipster Killer, is an American serial killer who strangled three women to death in Shasta County, California, from 1985 to 1987. After each murder, Maury anonymously called into a tip line to tell detectives crucial information, including where the bodies were located, to confuse them and sometimes gain reward money. Suspected in two additional murders, Maury was sentenced to death for his known crimes and is currently awaiting execution.
