Walter E. Ellis

Biography

Walter Earl Ellis (June 24, 1960 – December 1, 2013), known as the Milwaukee North Side Strangler, was an American serial killer, rapist, and robber who raped and strangled at least seven women in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin between 1986 and 2009. Until May 2009, the killings were considered to be independent of one another, but were then linked together via DNA profiling. Ellis was arrested as a suspect on September 7, 2009, and convicted for the seven murders in February 2011, receiving seven consecutive life sentences without the chance of parole.
