I-70 Killer

Serial Killer

The Unsolved Case of the I-70 Killer

Overview

The I-70 Killer is an unidentified American serial killer responsible for a series of murders in the Midwest during the spring of 1992. The moniker "I-70 Killer" originates from the proximity of the crime scenes to Interstate 70, a major east-west highway traversing the heart of the United States. Over approximately a month, six store clerks were brutally murdered, their cases linked by ballistic evidence and the killer's consistent modus operandi. Despite extensive investigations, the perpetrator remains at large.
