description: "Harry \"Pittsburgh Phil\" Strauss was an American contract killer for Murder, Inc. in the 1930s. He reportedly killed over one hundred men using a variety of methods, including shooting, stabbing with ice picks, drowning, live burial, and strangulation. Strauss never carried a weapon in case the local police picked him up on suspicion. He would scout his murder spot for any tool that would do the job."
