Summer of fear

The 1970s weren't just disco and freedom - they were the golden age of serial killers. BTK hid in plain sight, taunting police while living a 'normal' life. The 'Freeway Killer' wasn't one monster, but three: Kearney, Bonin, and Kraft, who turned LA's highways into a graveyard. Ted Bundy, America's most infamous charmer, used his good looks and charm to lure victims across state lines, leaving a trail of bodies. While John Wayne Gacy and Dean Corll exploited their power to prey on vulnerable teens, leaving dozens of families without answers. These killers thrived in an era of trust - and slipped through the cracks for years. The '70s weren't just a decade. They were a hunting ground.
