Raymond J. Lassor (born 1963) is an American serial killer who strangled to death three women, and attempted to murder a fourth, in the span of a little over two months in 1984.[1] He later became the first criminal to be successfully prosecuted under the newly enacted Rhode Island "Life Without Parole Statute", headed by prosecutor Jeffrey B. Pine, and promptly received life imprisonment without parole for his crimes.[2]
