Thomas Richard Bunday (born September 28, 1948 in Nashville, Tennessee - March 15, 1983 in Wilbarger County, Texas) was an American serial killer who, from 1979 to 1981, committed a series of murders against women in the city of Fairbanks, Alaska.
At the time of the killings, Bunday was serving at the Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks, and for a long time avoided suspicion.
Bunday's exclusivity is due to the fact that after pleading guilty of committing crimes, he was not arrested due to a legal mistake and remained at liberty for another 8 days, during which, for unknown reasons, he did not make any effort to evade justice.
