George Waterfield Russell

George Waterfield Russell Jr. (born April 1958), known as "the Charmer", is an American thief and serial killer responsible for the murders of three women in Seattle over the summer in 1990. After killing his victims, he would mutilate and have sex with the corpses, leaving the bodies posed in bizarre positions at the crime scene. For his crimes, he was sentenced to two life imprisonment terms.

Early life Born in Florida in April 1958, to Joyce and George Waterfield Russell Sr., George's parents separated when he was still an infant, with his mother moving with him to Mercer Island, Washington, to live with her new husband. He later used this to make women feel comfortable around him. He frequented cocktail lounges around Seattle in search of hook-ups. However, he did not take rejection well. After an incident where he impersonated a police officer, he was banned from a club. Not long after this, he committed his first murder. In 1987, he was officially diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder.

Murders Between June and August 1990, Russell sexually assaulted and murdered three women. In each case, he horribly mutilated and violated the corpses, posing them in various grotesque positions before leaving the crime scene. Mary Anne Pohlreich (27), a resident of Redmond. Andrea 'Randi' Levine (24), also from Kirkland. Levine was found in her bed at her apartment Kingsgate on August 31. That ring was later found at a pawn shop. Russell pleaded not guilty to all charges,
