On a routine traffic stop in 1983, officers found Randy Kraft with a dead Marine at his side — and a cryptic list that would link him to crimes across states. This episode traces how that “scorecard” unlocked a pattern of murdered young men, many hitchhikers and servicemen, and the decades-long hunt to connect scattered cases.
We follow the chilling routine investigators uncovered, the protracted 1988–89 trial that led to Kraft’s conviction for sixteen murders, and the lingering mystery of dozens more entries that may represent unidentified victims. The episode focuses on the victims, the investigative blind spots of the era, and what the case teaches about cross-jurisdictional policing and memory, evidence, and closure.
