John Fredrick Anderson (1945–2021) was an American murderer whose crime spree began in Washington state in July 1965 after hijacking a taxi and killing barber Howard Morford and cab driver Genevieve Jennings. Paroled after serving ten years, Anderson was later implicated in a contract killing, convicted of multiple armed robberies and the murder of restaurateur Harry Gee, and ultimately received multiple consecutive life sentences for the 1979 Yorktown Restaurant mass shooting.
