Interview with convicted murderer Tina Munro (Bill Bonin co-defendant)

The Freeway Killer, Bill Bonin, was a notorious American serial
killer who, alongside his accomplices, terrorized Southern
California in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bonin, often referred
to as the "Freeway Killer" due to his victims' bodies being dumped
along highways and freeways, is believed to have murdered at least
14 young men and boys between 1979 and 1980, though the exact
number is still debated.

His victims, often hitchhikers or male prostitutes, were sexually
assaulted, tortured, and then killed, typically by strangulation or
blunt force trauma.Bonin was a former military man with a history
of violent offenses and was described as being charismatic yet
extremely manipulative. He lured many of his victims by offering
them rides, only to overpower them and subject them to horrific
abuse. His killing spree was initially difficult to track, as he
often discarded the bodies in remote locations along freeways in
Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

After his arrest in 1980, Bonin was convicted of 10 murders, though
he was linked to additional cases. He was sentenced to death in
1982 and spent years on death row at San Quentin State Prison.
Bonin was finally executed by lethal injection in 1996, after his
appeals were exhausted. His crimes left a lasting legacy of fear in
Southern California and remain one of the most chilling chapters in
the history of American serial killers.

Bonin's case also highlighted the disturbing nature of his
accomplices, including a man named James Munro, Gregory Miley and
Vernon Butts, who participated in some of the killings,
contributing to the complexity and scope of the crimes. The Freeway
Killer case remains a tragic example of the dangers lurking within
society, as well as the dark psyche of a man who carried out his
brutal acts under the radar for several years before justice was
finally served.
