At 1:10am on 14 May 1983, two Highway Patrol Officers observed a car driving erratically on Interstate 5 in Orange County, California. They suspected the driver was drunk and they signalled for him to stop.

The driver pulled over and opened the car door, outrageously emptying the contents of his beer bottle onto the ground as he exited his car. The man identified himself to officers as Randy Kraft.

They didn’t realise it at the time but they had just stopped Randy’s 12-year murder spree.
