Summary

Between 1982 and 1984, Eyler is known to have committed at least twenty-one murders and one attempted murder. All his murders involved restraining his victim, several victims were subjected to different levels of sadomasochism before he stabbed and/or slashed them to death, the majority of the wounds being inflicted to the victim's chest and abdomen. He was quite the stabber...just another freeway killer of the 70s and 80s picking up victims on the fringes of society. I guess you could call this one Part 4 of the freeway killers, but any way, here's another sadistic sum bitch, so buckle up. This episode was originally released 6-29-21 on Patreon.

1:02.0	Yeah, Eilert was just a fucking brutal man.
1:06.0	Like absolutely crazy.
