Episode 38: Number 5

Updated: Nov 28, 2020

In a span of three months, dozens of crimes took place along the west coast’s Interstate Five.  What was seemingly multiple culprits committing burglary, rape, and murder turned out to be just one man. Law enforcement agencies worked together to share information and with the help of numerous witnesses they put together at least over 20 sketches of the face of a man dubbed the “I-5 Bandit”, a man who would eventually be known as the “I-5 Killer”.
