The Crimes of Andrei the Killer

Andrei was found guilty of theft from a previous employer, yet despite being sentenced to a year in prison for the crime, he was released after just three months. After keeping a low profile following his brush with the Soviet justice system, Andrei resumed killing in August of 1985. Just over a month later he killed again, and Soviet law enforcement were met with renewed public demands to catch the man who'd been continually preying on them. By November of 1985, the investigation had expanded to include a team of 29 dedicated detectives. Plainclothes female officers even ordered to loiter around bus and train stations in the hopes of the killer would make a move on them.
