Mark Goudeau

Mark Goudeau (born September 6, 1964), also called the Baseline Killer and the Baseline Rapist, is an American serial killer and kidnapper who committed the rape, robbery, and murder of nine victims in the Phoenix metro area between August 2005 and June 2006. In addition, his extensive crime spree included 77 other felony crimes, totaling 86 felonies over the ten-month period. The term "Baseline Killer" was adopted since most, but not all, of his victims were found along Baseline Road.

Goudeau was active at the same time as two other Phoenix serial killers, jointly known as the "Serial Shooters." Goudeau faced two separate trials—one for 19 charges related to an attack on two sisters whom he raped and sexually assaulted, and another related to 58 more charges including murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, sexual abuse and/or assault of minors and adults. All but one of his victims were females. Goudeau was convicted on a total of 76 of 93 crimes, and was sentenced to death 9 times (one for each murder conviction) and given a sum total of 1,762 years and 3 months in Arizona state prison.
