00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I've got a really interesting topic for you today. I

9
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna blow your mind, at least I hope

<v Speaker 1>it does. So what's been going on with everybody? Have

<v Speaker 1>sure you have, So today I'm actually covering one of

13
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>your favorite topics, and that is programmed Killers. This may

14
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>turn into a couple of different episodes. I don't know

15
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>if I'm gonna call it a mini series or just

16
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of episodes that kind of go together that

17
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>are about different things. We'll see how it goes. But

18
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>today we are going to meet a man named Randy Kraft.

19
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Some may know him as the Scorecard Killer, among other monikers.

20
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 1>And you may have stumbled across the podcast or to

21
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>discussing the disgusting brutality of his crimes. But you know

22
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>why you want to listen to the cosmic peach talk

23
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>about Randy Kraft over let's say, crime Junkies or forensic

24
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>files whatever. It's because you know that there's more to

25
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the story, hidden facts and discarded information that will blow

26
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>this case wide open, and that you're never gonna hear

27
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>on the Makeup and Murders YouTube channel. Right, that's why

28
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 1>you're here, and I will not disappoint starting with the

29
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 1>moniker right. One of the things that has always bothered

30
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>me deeply is how these cucked, murderous retards get labeled

31
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>with these bitch and monikers that are meant to send

32
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>a chill down the spine of every unsuspecting American on

33
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 1>purpose right to stir up fear and sensationalism. The Hillside Stranglers,

34
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the Zodiac Killer, BTK buying torture kill son of Sam,

35
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>the Scorecard killer Oooo, I'm paying in my penies. Fuck

36
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you right if these are just made up, fucking names

37
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>created to give this scary and villainous persona to Manchurian

38
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>candidates programmed by our own military. In most cases, I

39
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>feel I have the right to give them new monikers,

40
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 1>monikers that more accurately reflect the person and or their crimes.

41
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Starting with Randy here, I gave it a lot of thought,

42
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and the only suitable name for this human bag of

43
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>programmed dogshit is randyft Government Cheese anus Killer. Short, sweet, accurate,

44
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and to the point. Men like this do not get

45
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to go down as the mega villain in the history books.

46
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Sorry not sorry. If it were your son, your brother,

47
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>your husband who was murdered in this way, would you

48
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>want their murderer to become some kind of super villain

49
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in History's scariest comic book. I don't think so. So

50
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 1>where do we begin to unravel the story of the

51
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Government Cheese anus Killer from the beginning? I suppose. Randy

52
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Stephenkraft born March nineteenth, nineteen forty five is an American

53
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>serial killer and rapist, known as, of course, the Scorecard Killer,

54
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the Southern California Strangler, and the Killer, and more recently,

55
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the Government Cheese anus Killer. He committed the rape, torture,

56
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and murder of a minimum of sixteen young men between

57
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy two and nineteen eighty three, the majority of

58
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>whom he killed in California. Randy Craft is also believed

59
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to have committed the rape and murder of up to

60
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty one other young men and boys. He was convicted

61
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in May nineteen eighty nine and is currently incarcerated on

62
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>death row at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in Marin County, California.

63
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 1>So this particular cheese dick is still alive and in

64
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>San Quentin on death row. But there's so much we

65
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 1>need to unpack with this guy. So the Raft originally

66
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>became known as the Scorecard Killer because upon his arrest,

67
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>investigators discovered a coded list with sixty one entries on

68
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 1>a scorecard containing cryptic references to his victims. He is

69
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>also sometimes referred to as the freeway Killer because many

70
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 1>of his victims' bodies were discovered beside or near freeways.

71
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.959
<v Speaker 1>So let's break this down. Randy Craft was born in

72
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Long Beach, California, again March nineteenth, nineteen forty five. Seemingly

73
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>normal parents, just like Bundy and Dahmer and all the

74
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 1>usual dipshits. Mom was an upstanding member of the Harper

75
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Valley PTA. If you know, you know, But if we

76
00:06:52.639 --> 00:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>look closer, there's always something there to remind me, but

77
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>this is an inside job. So during Craft's college days

78
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 1>he enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps and regularly

79
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>attended demonstrations in support of the Vietnam War, and in

80
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty four he organized campaign rallies for Republican presidential

81
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>candidate Barry Goldwater. But I guess we'll just brush right

82
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>over that like all the other serial killer documentaries, because

83
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 1>there's no way. While in this Reserve Officers Training Corps,

84
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 1>he was scouted out as being a highly functioning psychopath

85
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>destined for great rectal adventures, but moving on. Also in

86
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty four, Kraft began working as a bartender at

87
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a local Garden Grove cocktail lounge that catered to gay clientele,

88
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and he had a few flings with some dudes around

89
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this time, but was still keeping his sexuality a secret

90
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>from his family. In nineteen sixty six, Craft was arrested

91
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 1>and charged with lewd conduct after propositioning an undercover police

92
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>officer in Huntington Beach, but as he had no previous

93
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>criminal record, no charges were filed. This is a reoccurring

94
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 1>trend with mister Government Cheese, as you will see as

95
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 1>the story progresses. So the following year he developed a

96
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>radical shift in his political beliefs, how odd, becoming an

97
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>ardent supporter of liberal views and eventually registering as a Democrat.

98
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen sixty seven. Craft quickly became a Democratic Party organizer,

99
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>campaigning tirelessly for the election of Robert F. Kennedy and

100
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>receiving a personal letter from the Senator thanking him for

101
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 1>his efforts. Just like Gacy with his picture of him

102
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 1>in the First Lady, and just like Dahmer's mysterious connections

103
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.639
<v Speaker 1>at the White House at an early age, this is

104
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>a red flag something that always gets swept across during

105
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the usual serial killer documentary. So four months after graduating

106
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>from college, Craft joined the United States Air Force Stinging Ding,

107
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Ding Ding, where he was sent to basic training in

108
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Texas before being stationed at the one the only Edwards

109
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Air Force Base in southern California, right alongside many of

110
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 1>our Laurel Canyon cast of characters. No coincidence there, I'm

111
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>sure this is where he supervised in the painting of

112
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>test planes. During his service in the Air Force, Craft

113
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 1>quickly rose to the rank of Airmen first class and

114
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a supervisor manager. Red flag number two, wouldn't you say?

115
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>But so, then on July twenty sixth, nineteen sixty nine,

116
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Craft supposedly announced his sexual orientation to his superiors. He

117
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was then granted a general discharge after only thirteen months

118
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>of service. His dismissal was officially listed as being on

119
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>medical grounds quote unquote, But I believe it was more

120
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>like he graduated the Program to Kill Academy and was

121
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.559
<v Speaker 1>being sent on his way under the excuse of being gay. So,

122
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>like I said before, I do believe the psychopaths are

123
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>scouted early on and used in a variety of different ways.

124
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Government Cheese was said to have been a brilliant genius

125
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>with a high IQ. So after his time in the

126
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Air Force, he fucking found employ with this aerospace firm

127
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and worked doing that for the majority of his time,

128
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:31.919
<v Speaker 1>ripping and running through dude's buttles. That cannot be a coincidence,

129
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 1>you guys, But so where does it all start? Government

130
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>cheese first known sexual assault was in March nineteen seventy,

131
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>not even a year after his discharge from the Program

132
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to Kill Academy. Kraft encountered a thirteen year old boy

133
00:11:55.080 --> 00:12:01.879
<v Speaker 1>named Joseph Alvin Fancher, at Huntington Beach. Fancher explained to

134
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Kraft that he had run away from home that day

135
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 1>and was just out and about. So Craft invited this

136
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 1>little boy to his apartment, promising to him that he

137
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>could live with him, and for some reason was offering

138
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>him sex with a woman he claimed to know, even

139
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 1>though this kid is literally only thirteen and so Fancier

140
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>agreed and accompanied Kraft to his Belmont Shore apartment, where

141
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>he was drugged, beaten, and repeatedly sexually assaulted. And hours

142
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 1>later Fancier somehow escaped from the apartment after Craft had

143
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>left to go to work. Basically, a random person was

144
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>concerned saw this kid wandering around, saw that Fancer had

145
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>been drugged and was disheveled and in a horrible condition,

146
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 1>and called an ambulance and so at the hospital, Fancer's

147
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>stomach needed to be pumped, and Fancer later informed police

148
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that Craft had given him drugs and had beaten him,

149
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and a search of Craft's apartment was conducted with the

150
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.919
<v Speaker 1>cooperation of his roommate at the time. However, no charges

151
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>were ever filed, saved by the bell yet again government cheese.

152
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 1>And this was the beginning of the end because we see,

153
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.559
<v Speaker 1>much like in the case of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy,

154
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 1>this guy keeps getting off the hook mysteriously. So between

155
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy one and nineteen eighty three, Kraft is believed

156
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>to have killed sixty fucking seven men. All of his

157
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>suspected victims were male between the ages of fourteen and thirty,

158
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the majority of whom were in their late teens to

159
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 1>mid twenties. But there is also something else that connects them,

160
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>which is odd. But so Craft was charged with and

161
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 1>convicted of only sixteen of these homicides, all of which

162
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 1>had occurred between nineteen seventy two and nineteen eighty three.

163
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Many of his victims were here's the catch members of

164
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the United States Marine Corps, and most of their bodies

165
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>were found to have high levels of both alcohol and tranquilizers,

166
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.759
<v Speaker 1>indicating that they had been unconscious when they were abused

167
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 1>and then killed. I mean, does this not screen program

168
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 1>to kill literally checks all the boxes. But what signals

169
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this the most to me is the absolute horror of

170
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>what he did to his victims. This level of complete

171
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>disregard for human life can only come from one of

172
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 1>our fine military machines. So let's take a closer look.

173
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about Wayne Joseph Duckett. On October fifth, nineteen

174
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>seventy one, police found the nude body of a thirty

175
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:39.759
<v Speaker 1>year old Long Beach resident named Wayne Joseph Duckett, discarded

176
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 1>close to the Ortega Highway. Duckett, a bartender at a

177
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 1>gay bar named The Stable in nearby Sunset Beach, had

178
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:55.799
<v Speaker 1>last been seen alive on September twentieth. Unfortunately, he had

179
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>been out so long putrification had destroyed any signs of

180
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 1>play on the body. The cause of death was listed

181
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>as acute alcohol poisoning due to a very high blood

182
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Speaker 1>alcohol level. However, the first entry in Craft's journal referred

183
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to as his scorecard Read's Stable quote unquote, leading investigators

184
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 1>to believe that Duckett was Craft's first murder victim. Fifteen

185
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 1>months after the murder of Duckett, Kraft killed a twenty

186
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>year old marine named Edward Daniel Moore. Moore was last

187
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 1>seen leaving the barracks at Camp Pendleton on December twenty fourth,

188
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy two. His body was found beside the four

189
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 1>h five freeway in Seal Beach during the early hours

190
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 1>of December twenty sixth. Abrasions on Moore's body indicated that

191
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 1>he had been pushed from a moving vehicle. An autopsy

192
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 1>revealed he had been bound at the wrist end ankles,

193
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>then beaten with a blunt instrument about the face before

194
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 1>being garrotted. His body also exhibited numerous bitemarks, and a

195
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:18.440
<v Speaker 1>sock had been forced into his rectum. The bee hole

196
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 1>sock is going to be very important. Just wait, so.

197
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Six weeks after the murder of Moore, on February sixth,

198
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.799
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy three, the body of an unidentified male estimated

199
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 1>to be between seventeen and twenty five years old, was

200
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>found alongside the Terminal Island Freeway in Wilmington. This victim

201
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>had been strangled with a ligature and also had a

202
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 1>sock violently inserted into his bee hole. Now. Two months later,

203
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 1>on April fourteenth, the body of seventeen year old Kevin

204
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Clark Bailey was found beside a road in Huntington Beach.

205
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Bailey had been emasculated and sodomized prior to his murder.

206
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>What does it mean to be emasculated? Okay? I had

207
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.279
<v Speaker 1>an idea of what this could be A fancy way

208
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of saying, and yes, upon googling, it means that their

209
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 1>penis and ball bag were ripped off before death. What

210
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.359
<v Speaker 1>a way to die, folks, I mean, really, but so,

211
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 1>by July twenty eighth, a further two victims had been murdered,

212
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 1>an unidentified youth whose dismembered body was found in Wilmington

213
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.799
<v Speaker 1>on April twenty second, and a twenty year old named

214
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Ronnie Jean Weeb, whose strangled body was discarded beside an

215
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>on ramp of the four or five Freeway on July thirtieth,

216
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 1>two days after he had disappeared. And Kraft is known

217
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.519
<v Speaker 1>to have killed at least once more in nineteen seventy three.

218
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 1>So the last known victim in nineteen seventy three was

219
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a twenty three year old bisexual art student named Vincent

220
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Cruz Mestus, whose body was found in the San Bernardino

221
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Mountains on December twenty ninth. As with several previous victims,

222
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the victim socks had been violently forced into

223
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:43.559
<v Speaker 1>his biole Mestus hand had also been severed from his

224
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>body and was never found. So by November nineteen seventy four,

225
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.039
<v Speaker 1>five more victims had been found beside or close to

226
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 1>major roadways in southern California, three of whom had been

227
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 1>conclusively linked to the same killer via beehole socks. Two

228
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 1>of these victims, twenty year old Malcolm Eugene Little and

229
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>nineteen year old James Dale Reeves, had each been found

230
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 1>beside a freeway with foreign objects inserted into their bodies,

231
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.079
<v Speaker 1>whereas the body of the third victim, eighteen year old

232
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>marine Roger Edward Dickerson, bore evidence of bitemarks, much like

233
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:37.720
<v Speaker 1>several earlier victims. On January third, nineteen seventy five, Kraft

234
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 1>abducted and murdered a seventeen year old high school student

235
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>named John William Leross. The youth was last seen boarding

236
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a bus in Long Beach. His strangled body was found

237
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the following day, discarded at Sunset Beach with an undisclosed

238
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:02.839
<v Speaker 1>foreign object protruding from anus. I guess we're just supposed

239
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to use our imagination on that one. Also, drag marks

240
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 1>along the beach close to where his body was found

241
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 1>suggested that two individuals had carried Leros's body into the water.

242
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Much like the stories of many programmed killers, we're most

243
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>likely dealing with multiple assailants here. So. Two weeks after

244
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.279
<v Speaker 1>this murder, on January seventeenth, the body of a twenty

245
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.839
<v Speaker 1>one year old named Craig Jonatis was found discarded in

246
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot of the Golden Sales Hotel near the

247
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Coast Highway and Lions Drive in Long Beach. Jonatis

248
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>had been strangled to death with a length of string,

249
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 1>possibly a shoelace. By January nineteen seventy five, a total

250
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 1>of fourteen victims had been linked to the same killer,

251
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>their bodies having been found discarded across four separate counties

252
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 1>over the previous three years. All the victims had been

253
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:18.599
<v Speaker 1>Caucasian males with similar physical characteristics. Some investigators believed the

254
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 1>murders to be the work of more than one individual,

255
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 1>much like the Son of Sam that we discussed in

256
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the Program to Kill series and Ted Bundy couldn't be

257
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 1>in two places at once right. Investigators also believed one

258
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:40.279
<v Speaker 1>or both killers had to have had a military background,

259
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 1>as two victims had tissue paper residue in their nostrils,

260
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:50.559
<v Speaker 1>a procedure known to be used in the military to

261
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:55.400
<v Speaker 1>prevent bodies from purging after death. What about the bee

262
00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 1>hole socks, well, The insertion of sock inside the victim's

263
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.559
<v Speaker 1>rectums was also theorized to have been intended to prevent

264
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.400
<v Speaker 1>purging as the body was driven to the disposal location.

265
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:16.119
<v Speaker 1>So again, Kraft was supposed to be in charge of

266
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:24.079
<v Speaker 1>what again in the military painting test planes. Wondering the

267
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 1>painting lessons, did the shoving socks in a dead man's

268
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 1>beethole come up? I mean, I'm no rocket scientist, but

269
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like those two things do not come up

270
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>in the same class. But what do I know? Right?

271

<v Speaker 1>Let me read your little article here. Oh yeah, we're
