The Miami Strangler is the name attributed to an unidentified serial killer who murdered at least nine women in Miami, Florida, between 1964 and 1970. Despite the nickname, not all victims were strangled, and some died from bludgeoning and smothering. Although no victim was directly sexually assaulted, the murders appear sexually motivated given how the victims were posed.
