Serial Killers in the Spotlight
Constance’s story taps into the horrifying reality of serial killers—predators who prey on the vulnerable. Her encounter occurred during a period when serial killers like the infamous “Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders” terrorized California. Between 1972 and 1973, a series of unsolved homicides shook Sonoma County, California. Young female hitchhikers were found murdered in rural areas, their bodies dumped near creek beds and roadsides.
Despite extensive investigations, many of these cases remain unsolved, and the perpetrator of these crimes was never definitively identified. These chilling murders are believed to be the work of a serial killer who scouted his victims before killing them. The stories of these young women—Maureen Louise Sterling, Yvonne Lisa Weber, Kim Wendy Allen, and many others—serve as a reminder of how vulnerable women were during that era of hitchhiking. Unfortunately, serial killers like Constance's assailant often went unidentified for years, leaving devastation in their wake.

While the existence of serial killers is relatively rare, their impact on society is immense. Across U.S. history, names like Robert Lee Yates, Chester Turner, and Randy Steven Kraft have become synonymous with horror. These men committed heinous crimes against women, leaving trails of devastation. Yates was responsible for 13 murders, while Turner’s count reached 14, and Kraft, known as the “Scorecard Killer,” was convicted of 16 murders but believed to have killed as many as 67.
Each of these men had their own horrifying modus operandi, whether it was dumping bodies in rural areas, like Yates, or keeping a scorecard of his victims like Kraft. Then there’s Robert Hansen, who hunted his victims in the Alaskan wilderness, and Randall Woodfield, known as the “I-5 Killer,” who terrorized women across three states. These predators left law enforcement scrambling for answers, leading to years of investigation and public fear.

The motives behind these horrific crimes are often psychological. Some serial killers are driven by sexual sadism, while others exhibit compulsive behaviors that they can’t control. In some cases, like those involving Randy Kraft, there are clear signs of ritualistic killing patterns. Serial murderers such as Charles Ray Hatcher and Carroll Cole admitted that they often committed their crimes while intoxicated, further complicating efforts to understand their mental states.
For law enforcement, the process of tracking down serial killers is grueling and complex. The FBI and other agencies have spent decades attempting to unravel the psychological profiles of these criminals, from the infamous Jack the Ripper to the BTK Killer. Yet, even with modern forensic tools, many of these cases remain unsolved, leaving families without closure.
