Summary

Randy Kraft would be dubbed as "The Scorecard Killer" for the record keeping that he would keep on his victims including codes he listed beside entries. Police believe that Kraft may be responsible for over 60 murders of men in the California area in the 70s and 80s. Kraft is also part of police have called "The Freeway Killers", 3 serial killers operating in similar areas, with similar MOs, and overlapping in the times that they killed. Patrick Kearney that we profiled in our last episode was another of "The Freeway Killers".

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the magnitude of the crimes committed by Randy Kraft. His number of victims is astonishing but the way that he murdered these men is even more astonishing. Police had their hands full during this period of time in California trying to figure out why so many men were being targeted and murdered. It's incredible to know that that there were 3 different individuals who were committing such twisted murders, preying on men in a similar way and in essentially the same area.
