Freeway Killer Part 2: Inside the Van of William Bonin
Welcome to CaseXCase. Viewer discretion is advised: this episode contains references to real criminal cases, violence, and other sensitive topics and is intended for adult audiences.
Part two of the Freeway Killer series focuses on William Bonin — his troubled childhood, violent escalation, the 1972 Ford van he used to prey on young male hitchhikers, his recruits and methods, and the brutality of his crimes.
The episode recounts his 1980 arrest, convictions, execution in 1996, and previews the next installment on Randy Kraft.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, a chilling pattern began to emerge along the freeways of California — a series of brutal crimes that would later be linked to multiple killers operating at the same time, hunting in the same shadows.
They would come to be known collectively as the “Freeway Killers.”
⚠️ Trigger Warning
This episode contains detailed discussions of violent crimes, including, but not limited to, sexual assault, torture, and the murder of young victims. The content is extremely graphic and disturbing. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
