Jeffrey Wayne Gorton
Born	1962

Jeffrey Wayne Gorton is an American serial killer and rapist, who was convicted in 2002 of the rape and murder of a flight attendant named Nancy Ludwig on February 17, 1991 at the Hilton hotel in Romulus, Michigan. He later pled no contest to charges that he raped and murdered a professor and provost of the University of Michigan-Flint, Margarette Eby, on November 9, 1986.

Gorton was tracked down through the matching of a semen sample taken from the Ludwig crime scene with a semen sample taken from the Eby crime scene. Gorton had left latent fingerprints at the Eby crime scene, and these fingerprints eventually were matched with Gorton, which enabled the Michigan State Police to learn the killer's identity.
