Over 12 days in January 1984, a hammer-wielding attacker terrorized the suburbs of Denver. In addition to harming several survivors, he took the lives of Patricia Smith, Debra Bennett, Bruce Bennett, and Melissa Bennett. When the murders stopped, investigators wondered why. Unbeknownst to everyone in Colorado, the elusive killer was already hitchhiking to his next destination.
