John Martin CrawfordJohn Martin Crawford (March 29, 1962 - December 16, 2020) was a Canadian serial killer who killed four women between 1981 and 1992 in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In 1981, Crawford was sentenced to ten years in prison for the manslaughter of Mary Jane Srloin in Lethbridge, Alberta, but was released in 1989. While under police surveillance, he sexually assaulted Theresa Kematch but was not arrested. In 1994, a hunter discovered the remains of three Indigenous women, Eva Taysup, Shelley Napope, and Calinda Waterhen, in heavy brush outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Crawford was convicted in 1996 of one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder in their deaths and was sentenced to three concurrent life sentences. Crawford's case was played down by the media because his victims were Aboriginal women. Crawford died on December 16, 2020, while serving his sentence at the Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon, and no cause of death was released. Read More Read Less
