Shot and killed by his wife in 1970, she said he had confessed to her to personally killing two people, and successfully arranging the murder of his brother (in 1965) as well as attempting to kill his parents in 1966.
He's also now been theorized to have killed Valerie Percy (beaten and stabbed in Kenilworth, IL, 1966) and Judith Mae Andersen (dismembered in Chicago, 1957) in the new book Sympathy Vote.
He was investigated for both the Andersen and Percy crimes, his brother was killed under mysterious circumstances, and at least one of the people he confessed to killing did vanish (that person's wife issued a missing person's report on him.) However, Thoresen was never charged with murder (but a variety of crimes, some of them violent and against women...rape...assault.)
Would all of the above make him a suspected serial killer?
