The Freeway Killer stars Scott Leet, Cole Williams and Michael Rooker in a real life portrayal of murderer William Bonin. A serial killer, and general low-life, the Freeway Killer follows Bonin on some of his most horrific misadventures. From the filmmakers of Dahmer and Gacy there is now the Freeway Killer! Check out the full synopsis, about this true story, below.
A synopsis for the Freeway Killer here:
"December, 1979, The bodies had been turning up all over for a couple of years now-- cast off like a bored child’s broken toys - beaten, stangled. An Orange County newspaper suggests a serial killer is at work. The story runs and dies before the ink is dry. It is not until March of 1980 when he gets his name: the Freeway Killer. William Bonin is not alone. Bonin, an amiable truck driver, is well-liked but has only one close friend, one friend he shares his hobby with. Vernon Butts - magician, student of the occult and unemployed fry cook - is Bonin’s partner in crime. Together, they ride the endless highways of the California night looking for victims. They have got a good thing going, but Bonin is always looking for more victims.
Charming, intelligent and scheming, he is able to find and manipulate the weak, insecure and mentally challenged. One night, the box boy at a nearby liquor store catches his eye. He decides the young man would make a fine apprentice. Bonin is smart, witty, scheming, and seductive and he uses all his charms to lure this young man, Kyle, into a murder spree. The kid even has been given no time to fully understand what he has gotten himself into.
Soon TV and newspapers are frantically hyping 'the Freeway Killer.' The police intensify their search. William Bonin continues to recruit and discard accomplices, and kill. Feeling the noose tightening around his neck, his patterns become erratic, impulsive, and insane. He begins to worry about his friends. Which can he count on? Which might be enemies? As police close in, the only question is: how many more will die?

Boy, do they have it all wrong. Vern was a weak person, and had been a friend of Scott, Bill's lover. There were also four other accomplices (can't remember their names because it was 30 years ago, and I only met them briefly). Scott was the one who turned Bill in to the police after he put two and two together. The reason Vern was prominent was that a few of the murders occurred at his apartment in Downey, including the one where an icepick was used to stab one of the young men in the ear.
The final victim, Steven Wells, was the twin brother of a friend of mine, Susie, who was supposed to have gotten married, but her marriage was postponed due to Steve's death.
Not that death should be glorified, but how gory is this? It was so long ago, why are they digging it up now?
