Joel David Rifkin (born January 20, 1959) is an American serial killer convicted of murdering nine women in New York between 1989 and 1993, though he is suspected of killing as many as 17. Rifkin targeted sex workers, strangling his victims and dismembering their bodies before disposing of them across the New York metropolitan area.
He was arrested in 1993 after a routine traffic stop revealed a body in his vehicle. Rifkin was convicted of multiple counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to 203 years to life in prison. His case is often referenced in analyses of social isolation, compulsive behavior, and the patterns of sexually motivated serial homicide.
