Harvey Carignan’s nickname, 'The Want-Ad Killer' came from his MO of taking out “help wanted” adverts in order to lure victims whom he then raped and murdered with a hammer.
Harvey Carignan, a serial rapist and murderer known as “The Want-Ad Killer,” has died at the age of 95, according to TMZ. Carignan’s nickname came from his MO of taking out “help wanted” adverts in order to lure victims whom he then raped and murdered with a hammer. TMZ reports that officials at MCF-Oak Park Heights in Minnesota confirmed his death from natural causes earlier this month.
Carignan was serving a life sentence after being found guilty of the brutal murders of two women, Eileen Hunley and Katherine Schultz, in 1975. At trial, Carignan tried to plead insanity, saying God had instructed him to “kill whores and harlots,” but his defense was rejected. Both Schultz and Hunley had been beaten to death with a hammer—leading to Carignan sometimes being referred to as “Harvey the Hammer.
