Serial Killer

Nathaniel White: A Detailed Account of His Crimes

Background

Nathaniel White, born on July 28, 1960, is an American serial killer who was active in the Hudson Valley region, in and near Orange County, New York, during the early 1990s. White confessed to beating and stabbing six women to death while on parole. Raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, he graduated from Poughkeepsie High School in 1979 and later served a brief stint in the US Army from 1980 to 1983. He was residing in the Town of Wallkill, just outside of Middletown, New York, during his 16-month murder spree.

Crimes

White claimed to have found inspiration for his first murder while watching RoboCop 2: "The first girl I killed was from a 'RoboCop' movie... I seen him cut somebody's throat then take the knife and slit down the chest to the stomach and left the body in a certain position. With the first person I killed I did exactly what I saw in the movie." This first killing took place on March 25, 1991—after White had been convicted of abducting a 16-year-old girl, but before he started his prison sentence—and police did not make the connection at the time. In a plea bargain that would later be heavily criticized, White had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for the abduction and would therefore be eligible for parole after just one year. White was paroled in April 1992 and returned to Orange County, New York. White's first victim after his parole was the young niece of his girlfriend, whom he killed at the end of June. He then killed four others in July 1992.

Her family reported her missing on July 1, 1992, and her body was discovered off of Echo Lake Road in Goshen, New York, on August 4.
• Laurette Huggins Reviere: Laurette Huggins Reviere, 34 of Middletown, was killed July 10 and found in her home in Middletown by the police. She was a mother of three children and a close friend of White's girlfriend. Her children even slept over at White and Garrison's house a few weeks before her murder. She was in the midst of packing to go back to her home country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines with her family when she was murdered.
