Frank Carter (1881 – June 24, 1927) was a notorious murderer and self-confessed serial killer in Omaha, Nebraska. Confirmed to have committed two murders, Carter claimed to have murdered 43 people.[1] However, reporters doubted most of his claims. The Lexington Herald-Leader called most of the alleged murders "obviously fictitious".[2]
