Rifkin was sentenced to more than 200 years in 1994, after he was convicted of murdering nine women, all of whom he described as prostitutes and all of whom he killed by strangulation. Despite the verdict, Rifkin always claimed that he killed 17 women in all, the first of whom he said was named “Susie.”.

Updated February 04, 2020. Once a year, in late October, the thoughts of golf fans and golf media turn to Payne Stewart, whose life was tragically cut short in that month of 1999 when he perished in a plane crash. Unfortunately, Stewart's is not the only death of a golfer that was tragic and too soon. Here are 23 champions from the history of golf ...
The tragedy of Stewart's death is among the most recent on this list; he died at the age of 42 on Oct. 25, 1999, in a plane crash. It was a bizarre incident that played out over several hours on television, as cable news networks tracked a plane whose occupants weren't flying up the middle of the United States, seemingly without human control.
The golf course was Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa; the cause of death was multiple stab wounds. She was 22 years old. Barquin Arozamena, a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes women's golf team, was the 2018 European Amateur Champion, and played in the 2018 U.S. Women's Open.
Somewhere around 9:30 a.m., investigators later determined, the plane suffered a catastrophic loss of air pressure, incapacitating the six passengers, including the two pilots.
Anderson was born in Scotland but achieved his golf fame in the United States, where he won four of the five U.S. Opens from 1901-05 (1902 was the year he didn't win). He also won the Western Open - the second-biggest pro tournament in the U.S. at the time - four times from 1902 to 1909.
Edgar was born in England and won the French Open at age 30 in 1914. He then emigrated to the United States, and on the early PGA circuit twice won the Canadian Open, plus one more tournament now counted as a PGA Tour victory.
Allan was the winner of the first British Amateur championship played at Muirfield, which took place in 1897. According to Peter Alliss' The Who's Who of Golf, Allan rode his bicycle to Muirfield each day of the tournament and played in his everyday shoes. He died of tuberculosis one year later (1898) at the age of 22.
