Summary

The Freeway Killer was a collective epithet given by the media and the police to what the media initially believed was a single serial killer claiming young male victims, predominantly in California during the 1970s and early 1980s, and who often discarded the victims' bodies alongside freeways.
However, there turned out to be multiple Freeway Killers who operated independently of each other but just happened to select similar victims from similar locations.
