Summary
Details

Serial Killer Autopsy: William Bonin - The Freeway Killer

A chilling examination of one of California's most prolific serial killers and the systemic failures that enabled his reign of terror.

Between May 1979 and June 1980, the freeways of Southern California became hunting grounds for one of the most brutal serial killers in American history. William George Bonin, known as the Freeway Killer, tortured and murdered at least twenty-one young men, leaving their bodies beside the region's sprawling highway system. His crimes terrorized communities, devastated families, and exposed catastrophic failures in the criminal justice system.

Serial Killer Autopsy: William Bonin goes beyond the sensational headlines to conduct a comprehensive psychological, criminological, and systemic examination of how a twice-convicted sex offender was free to commit mass murder.

Drawing on trial transcripts, psychiatric evaluations, police reports, investigative records, and interviews with those involved in the case, this book provides the most comprehensive examination of the Freeway Killer ever published. It asks difficult questions: How did the system fail so catastrophically? Could these murders have been prevented? What does this case teach us about the nature of evil and the limits of rehabilitation?

This is not exploitation or sensationalism, it is forensic examination. While the crimes are documented in unflinching detail necessary for understanding, the focus remains on the victims whose lives mattered, the systemic failures that enabled tragedy, and the lessons that must be learned to prevent future horrors.

Part of the Serial Killer Autopsy series, which conducts comprehensive forensic examinations of history's most notorious killers, analyzing the psychology, methodology, investigation, and lasting impact of their crimes.
