I'm glad this guy has a sense of humor about this, but I really hope that Google does right by him and that he doesn't get stuck in their Byzantine customer service process.
This kind of thing should have very hard legal consequences for a company like Google.
Imagine being labeled as some kind of murder/rapist/pedophile whatever and moving into a neighborhood which gets angry fast.

I would sue for damage. EDIT: Because they put an image with unterlated information together in such a way that it misleads people.
Damages require proof. Unless they can show they lost something because of the mistake, then there are no damages.

I mean, the fact that the serial killer in question has been dead for forty years makes this conclusively "a funny story" and not "a red flag". But it also probably is mandatory to cover this ice breaker before the person you swiped on Googles you. "Just FYI, funny story, Google thinks I'm a serial killer. But that guy's been dead for years, and Google is mixed up."

Actually he should sue them. The damage to his reputation and prospects are real.
