The Freeway Killer: The Socking True Story of Serial Killer William Bonin
America: home of the free, land of the brave. Thousands of screaming fans pack into baseball games, football (not soccer ) stadiums, and rock concerts. Americans like loud music, fast cars, and women with more plastic in them than the cutlery they use at Fourth of July picnics.
But America has another claim to fame. Killers. Sure, the rest of the world has turned in some iconic killers, from Jack the Ripper to Osama Bin Laden. But killers and serial killers, in general, are as American as apple pie.
The F.B.I. theorizes that there are anywhere between twenty-five and fifty serial killers active in the United States of America at any given time. They each murder an average of three people per year, and are active sometimes for decades.
The F.B.I. goes on to clarify that a serial killer is defined as having killed two or more people in separate events and times. These aren't crimes of passion, where someone murders someone during an argument, or after catching their lover in bed with someone else. These are planned and calculated with a cold-blooded efficiency that reminds one of black-eyed sharks, slicing silently through the water to ambush their prey.
With all of that said, it appears as though the golden age of American serial killers is over. That crime has steadily fallen since the 1970's and 1980's. Sure they're still around, men and (a few) women who take life after life with their knives and guns, but gone are the days of Bundy, Gacy, and their ilk.
We'll take a look at one more, one not everyone is familiar with, but a man who carved a bloody path through multiple years as the 70's gave way to the 80's. His name was William Bonin, and they called him The Freeway Killer.
