William George Bonin (January 8, 1947 – February 23, 1996) was an American serial
killer and twice-paroled sex
offender, who committed the rape, torture and
murder of a minimum of 21 boys and young men in a series of killings between
1979 and 1980 in southern California. He is sometimes referred
to as "The Freeway Killer", a nickname he shares with
two other – separate – serial killers, Patrick
Kearney and Randy Steven Kraft. Bonin is also suspected of
committing a further fifteen murders. He was convicted of 14 of these murders
and subsequently executed in 1996.
Bonin
became known as the Freeway Killer due to the fact that the majority of his
victims' bodies were discovered alongside numerous freeways in southern
California.
