In the Summer of 1979, bodies of young boys started showing up raped, mutilated and dumped along California’s freeways. Most of the victims were hitchhikers. Some are young gay men, arriving in Los Angeles to join the budding activist movements of the time. Without today’s DNA technology, investigators raced tirelessly to find a suspect as the bodies piled up. Alongside them was LA street reporter Dave Lopez, whose involvement in the case leads him to face the dilemma of a lifetime. Four decades later, the lost confession tapes allow psychologists to analyze the mind of this sick serial killer. THE FREEWAY KILLER: LOST MURDER TAPES premieres Sunday, October 23 at 9/8c on ID & Available to Stream the Same Day on discovery+. For more on this special visit ID’s social handles, which will feature exclusive video content delving into how someone could commit such atrocities, while applauding the commitment of the detectives and journalists who worked to bring justice to the many victims |
