Dean Phillip Carter (born August 30, 1955) is a convicted spree killer currently housed on San Quentin, California's Death row. He has been convicted of the murder of four women: Susan Knoll, Jillette Mills, Bonnie Guthrie, and Janette Cullins. He was also implicated in the death of Tok Chum Kim.[2][3][unreliable source?] On March 25, 1984, Carter raped a woman who survived his attack.[1] All the victims were killed by strangulation.
