get into today's story. Warning, the following presentation is intended for mature audiences. It contains graphic
descriptions of crime scenes, adult dialogue, and strong language. Viewer discretion is advised. So Randolph Kraft was
born March 19th, 1945 in Long Beach, California. Randolph, who went by the name Randy. Now, Randy was the baby of the family, and the only boy, so he
was showered with attention from his mother and his sisters as well. But it said that Randy's
father was like super distant, and didn't seem to want a
relationship with his son at all, and he preferred, the father preferred to spend most of his time with
his daughters or his wife. He had a pretty good
upbringing, pretty normal. The only thing Randy said that was like rough for
him when he was a kid was that he was prone to accidents. At the age of one, he fell from a couch and broke his collarbone. And then a year later, he
was knocked unconscious, because he fell down a flight of stairs. 'Cause like he was always
tripping and falling. But that's what Randy said, was like, the only thing that was rough for him was, he was prone to accidents. But isn't it a little suspish, like, how do you just fall down a, well, I fell down a flight of stairs. Randy's family ended up moving
to Orange County, California when he was three years old. His parents purchased a
former women's Army dormitory, and they converted it into, they converted this big structure into a three-bedroom home, which sounds cool as shit. And, you know, the house was very modest. So then at the age of five, Randy went to elementary
school as a child does. Randy's mom was a member of the PTA. She baked cookies for
the Cub Scout meetings, and she made certain that her children received Bible lessons every week. Now Randy, he did amazing in school. He excelled, okay? And he was recognized
by all of his teachers, and even the school, that he was like an above-average student. In junior high school, he was placed in all the advanced classes, and also advanced programs
outside of the school. Now by the time Randy
had entered high school, he was the only kid from his family still living at home with Mom and Dad. His sisters had like moved out. They got houses of their own and they were all married at that time. And since both parents worked, were not often around, Randy was pretty independent. Randy had his own room, his own car. He was working part-time
and making money there. So he was able to get his own car. So Randy would say that he
got along with his peers. He had friends. He wasn't bullied. He wasn't picked on. He had a great childhood, so good for him. While in high school, Randy played saxophone in the school band. And his parents were conservative, so he participated in a lot of conservative political
groups within the school. I don't remember that in high school, but I guess they had like
a conservative group, so he participated in that. And then Randy graduated from high school when he was 18. Out of 390 students, he
was 10th in his class. So Randy said after high school, or like senior year slash
like when he graduated, that's when he really started
to cruise around gay bars. And he started hanging out there, and getting familiar with the whole scene. Randy enrolled at the
Claremont Men's College, and he got a full scholarship. And he majored in economics. It just all around sounds like this Randy guy is great, right? Course not, why are we here? During his sophomore year of college, Randy became involved in his first openly homosexual relationship. Now, Randy would say
that his homosexuality, it wasn't a secret at his school and amongst his peers and his friends. But his family was
still completely unaware that he was gay. And his family was super conservative. You know, he knew it was
gonna be a situation. While still in school, Randy took a part-time
job working as a bartender at a popular gay bar. During that time is when, you know, Randy was kinda getting,
figuring out what he liked. He began cruising for male sex workers at known pickup spots
around Huntington Beach. Then in 1963, Randy went to look for a male sex worker for the night. Unfortunately, unfortunately, yeah. I mean, bummer, it was a, one of the guys he
was gonna pick up that night was actually an undercover police officer. Randy got arrested, and
luckily for Randy it worked out because his charges were dropped, because he had no previous arrest record. They had no reason to, I don't know. I don't know, they just did. In 1967, Randy started to have reoccurring headaches and stomach pains. He didn't know what was causing it and it was causing a lot of issues, just in his life and his wellbeing. So his doctors ended up prescribing him tranquilizers and pain medicine, which he often mixed with
alcohol, 'cause college. Randy lost interest in school, and his grades just
really started to plummet. So it took him an additional eight months to graduate from college, but he did end up graduating, and he earned a Bachelor
of Arts in economics. June of 1968, after scoring high marks on the Air Force aptitude test, Randy then enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He threw himself into his work, and quickly advanced to the
rank of airman first class. It just seemed like whatever
Randy put his mind to, he was really good at it. Finally at this time is when Randy decided to come out to his parents, and tell them that he liked men, he was interested in men, he was gay. His father was like ultra conservative, and his mom was like,
meh, she was conservative, but she didn't approve of his lifestyle. But like she still loved him. She still supported him. His father, who he'd never really had a good relationship with, he just completely lost his shit. It was at this time, his relationship with his parents changed. They didn't really speak to him as much. Then in July of 1969, Randy received a general
discharge from the Air Force, on medical grounds. Randy claimed that the discharge came after he told his
superiors that he was gay. So he was really sad by this, that he got discharged, and he ended up moving back home. And he tok a job as a forklift operator, forklift operator, and then
he also worked part-time as a bartender. So then in 1971, Randy
decided that he wanted to become a teacher. So then he enrolled in the
Long Beach State University, and then while he's
there, attending school, he met another student. His name was Jeff, and
they really hit it off, and they ended up dating. They ended up moving in together, and they were together
until the end of 1975, so about four years. Randy would say it was Jeff
who introduced him to bondage and drug-enhanced sex, and also threesomes as well. The relationship, I
guess, was pretty rocky. They fought all the time. Randy just really wanted to settle down and be in a relationship,
a monogamous relationship. You have no idea, side note. You have no idea how long
I've been sitting here trying to say "monogamous." Monog, monogamous (laughs). Maybe 2020 will be the year
I pronounce things better? No, probably not, I, okay. Anyways, so yeah. Randy really just wanted to
stop with like the threesomes and just be in a relationship, one-on-one. They decided to go their separate ways. 1976, it was about like a year later, after the breakup with this Jeff guy. Randy goes on to meet
another guy named Jeff. He has somethin' with Jeffs, okay? But they met at a party. They ended up hitting it off, and they were together for about a year. This Jeff, he was 19. Randy was 10 years older, so Randy was 29. Randy would say that he was the mentor in the relationship. He introduced this new
Jeff to the gay bar scene and taught him about
cruising a nearby Marine base for partners to engage in threesomes, which is weird, because Randy said that he wanted to stop
with the threesomes, but we can't judge, but I'm judging. And they ended up
purchasing a home together, in Long Beach, California. And then Randy ended up getting a new job. He was working for a computer company. With this job came a lot of travel. So he would be on business
trips all the time. And he would go to Oregon. He would go to Michigan. Every week, he was going somewhere new. You know that's really
hard in a relationship. This new Jeff was like, "I
want you to be home more," and Randy was like, "I don't
really wanna be home more. I like my job." They ended up splitting up in 1982. So then he finds a new Jeff. No, I'm kidding (laughs). That is Randy's whole story. Now, May 14th, 1983, two
Highway Patrol officers, they spotted a car. This car was weaving down the road, and it wasn't just like
a one little swerve, like they went to grab something, and you, no. It was like a, "This person's drunk. Let's follow them." So the officers signal
for him to pull over. So they pull the car over, and then Randy actually
gets out of the car and starts walking towards the officers. Police officers say that
they could smell the alcohol. He just reeked of alcohol. They just kinda take a look at him, and they see that he's just a mess. Like, his shirt's all
buttoned incorrectly. It's untucked, his pant zipper was down. It was like, what's this guy doin'? He just looked a little rough. So of course, police officers give him the standard sobriety test, and of course Randy ends up failing. So they handcuff him and they put him in the back of the police car. That's when this other patrol officer goes to check out Randy's car. They didn't have a chance
to look into his car yet. Whatever, but they walk over to his car and they look (laughs) inside. I laugh when I'm nervous,
if you're new, hi. Okay, thank you. So they look into his car. What do they see? Okay, let me tell you. They see a young man in his car, and his pants are pulled down. He was barefoot. He was slumped over in the passenger seat. This young man isn't responding. Take a closer look, and they see on his neck, there seems to be like
signs of strangulation. And his wrists were bound with what seemed to be like some rope. Try and take a pulse,
and this man is dead. "Randy, what the hell are you doin'?" They were able to,
later on, ID the victim. And he was a 25-year-old Marine who was stationed nearby. Friends reported that this young man, he was at a party, and he
ended up hitchhiking home. So, his autopsy revealed that he had been killed by strangulation. Also indicated that his blood contained extremely high levels of
alcohol and tranquilizers. You know, when police are
searching Randy's car, they're going through the trunk, just to collect any evidence
or anything they can, and they come across, in the
trunk of Randy's vehicle, there was 47 Polaroid photos of young men, 47 photos of young men. They were all nude. They all appeared to be
unconscious or possibly dead. They couldn't make the
assumption that they were dead, because, I mean, they don't know. It's a photo. It was one or the other. In the trunk of the car, they also find a briefcase. Inside of it, they say, they found like a list
on a piece of paper, and it was like this weird
cryptic message, okay? But it had 61 different, they just called it
cryptic messages, on it. Investigators came to
believe that this list was Randy's scorecard, or like
a list of Randy's victims. Because once they start looking at it, the best way I can describe it is like he created names
for people, or his victims, since he couldn't remember anyone's name, or maybe he didn't wanna put their names. He instead would give them a nickname, or something that he knew what it meant. For example, there was a name like "Marine drunk overnight shorts." We don't know what that is, but obviously, that's somethin'. "Marine drunk overnight shorts"? Or, there was one person
called "Deodorant." I do this in my phone all the time, because sometimes I can't
remember people's names, and it's like, too late to
ask them what their name is, or maybe they just told it to me, and I already forgot, and I don't wanna look like a dumb ass. So I'll be like, "person at
the gas station with hair." I think I have a good
amount of people in my phone who's like, I'm just
describing them (laughs). And it's not funny, because
this is (laughs) serious. Okay, I'm distracted because
I'm happy to be back. I'm sorry. It was obvious that this
list, or this scorecard, wasn't supposed to make sense to anybody. It was just supposed
to make sense to Randy. So Randy was arrested, obviously, okay? Sorry, I forgot to mention that. He was arrested. Then investigators ended up going and searching Randy's apartment, and they gather more evidence. So there's like clothing there that's owned by potential victims. They gather fibers from his rug, and they end up matching it
to fibers that were found at a murder scene that went unsolved. The drawers next to Randy's bed, there are three different photos in there, which include three different
cold case murder victims. So investigators are like, "What the, this guy has been hiding some shit." So then, of course, like
investigators go down their list of cold cases or unsolved murders, and they were able to link a handful, or a good amount of
unsolved murders, to Randy. And they were able to link them because of the location. They could confirm the location to where Randy would be at the time. Also, how they were found. These victims were all
very similar to each other, and what Randy would
say was his signature. And Randy's signature, forgive me. This is, there's like I, it's... Randy would put something, like a sock, up their rectum. And in some cases, Randy
would put something way worse. Just objects, but mainly a sock. Also, Randy would burn the nipples with like the car cigarette lighter. So on his victims, he would burn either one nipple or both nipples. He would strangle all of his victims and, I'm sorry, boys. I'm sorry about this one, but Randy would also chop off the victims' balls and wieners. He was sick. That's not, what? Yeah, so when they go down the list of Randy's known victims, they are able to see that he
definitely had a type, okay? All of his victims were Caucasian males with very similar
physical characteristics. Some were gay, some were straight. A lot of them were more like muscular. Handsome, I would say. All of his victims were
tortured and murdered, but torture seemed to vary by degree from victim to victim. Most were drugged with like
a tranquilizer, and bound. Several of the victims
were found with their, again, their wieners chopped off and slash or their balls. And then Randy would take a photograph of his victim once they died. Now the violence that
Randy's victims endured, it seemed to correspond with
how Randy and his lover, or whoever he was in a relationship with, how they were getting along
at the time of the incident. So if his relationship was not doing well, it seemed like his victims were just really tortured. It was all bad, but you know, it was just different degrees of bad. I will say that investigators were able to link so many unsolved
murder victims to Randy. It's amazing that they
were able to do that, and give like these
families closure, I guess, if trying to see the positive. I don't know. It's like 61 people, and they were able to put
a lot of these together. So, on the list, number one was "Stable." And this turned out to
be Wayne Joseph Dukette, and he was 30 years old, and he lived in Long Beach. Then we had another name, "EDM." And this stood for Edward Daniel Moore, who was only 20 years old. And this poor guy, he was found on the side of the freeway, this poor guy. What was he doing with them, though? If Randy ended up like chopping, removing a piece of the victim's body, they never like found it. So there was someone on
the list named "Twiggie." And this ended up being a 19-year-old named James Reeves. His body, sadly, was found
again near the freeway. There was someone on the
list called "Pier 2," and they linked it to the victim Thomas Paxton Lee, who was 25. He lived in Long Beach, and they found him on
a pier in an oil field. Someone by the name of "Skates." This person was John Leras, and he was 17 years old, of Long Beach. And they found him, sadly, floating in the surf at Sunset Beach. "Parking Lot," and this was linked to a man named Keith. He was 19 years old, of Long Beach. Found him just rough. Sadly, this victim was chopped up, and they found his remains
in different areas. I don't know. What was he doing? The victim that I had mentioned
earlier named "Deodorant," this poor, poor victim
was only 16 years old. His name was Robert. He lived in Los Angeles, and they found him next
to the Hollywood Freeway in Los Angeles. On the scorecard, there
was the word "dog," and they were able to link
that to Raymond Davis. And he was 13 years old. And sadly, this little boy, he was visiting Los Angeles. And he had gone to the park
to look for a lost dog. And that's where Randy picked him up. They go through and they are able to link a lot of these with Randy, right? Okay, so he's arrested. His trial actually begins
September 26, 1988. His attorneys were doing the most, really trying to prove
that Randy was not guilty. Their main defense was that all of the evidence was circumstantial. They mainly focused on his
life and his upbringing, and tried to focus all the good things that Randy had done. He was an "outstanding citizen," and there was really no
proof that Randy did this. Yeah, he had photos. Yeah, he had a list, but there was no like DNA on the victims that linked to Randy. There was no concrete evidence that Randy in fact did this, that he had killed any of them. And then the trial ended
up lasting 13 months, and it would prove to be
the most expensive trial in Orange County history, to this day. August 11th, 1989, the
jury rendered a verdict of death for Randy Kraft. Randy Kraft actually remains on death row at San Quentin State Prison
in California out here. Not out here, it's up north. It's, you know, one of the
worst prisons, I guess. I had family there (laughs), not funny. Okay, and to this day, Randy continues to deny guilt for any of the homicides
for which he was convicted, or he is both convicted or
suspected of committing. I mean, okay, look. (lipstick clanks) I'm getting so flustered today. On Randy's scorecard, there were 61 names. So they believe that there was 61 victims. Not all of them were, they
were able to locate or find. And to be fair, a lot of people didn't think that Randy was responsible for all the deaths that investigators attached to him. Many believe that there's no way he could do this all alone, and get away with it for so long. Victims were dismembered
and then spread across town, inside of Randy's vehicle, inside of his home. There wasn't like a lot of blood found anywhere, or tools, so it's like, where was this happening? And a lotta people just thought like, investigators linked
Randy to these victims because they were similar. But, conspiracy time. Let me bust out my coloring book, because there's this other serial killer. Maybe in future videos, instead of using like
images I find online, I just use my coloring
book images, from now on. So, get this, uh huh. There's this other serial killer. I haven't colored him yet. His name is Randall, Randall, the I-5 Killer. Now a lot of these victims were found on, the I-5. This guy is suspected to
have 18 to 44 victims. Now, the I-5, Interstate 5 freeway, it goes everywhere, right? This serial killer used to
just go up and down the I-5, kill people, and then
also leave the victims on, sometimes just on the side of the freeway, just like in this case. A lotta people who
believe that the victims that were linked to
this Randy, Randy Kraft, were actually victims of this guy. Now, there's also a theory that Randy Kraft, this man, the I-5 Killer man, and, do you remember the Toolbox Killers, the white creepy van, awful human beings. It was two men, Lawrence Bittaker and, god, what was his name? This trifecta of serial killers were actually working together, moving victims and spreading victims. I mean, it could be true, because how did this guy, Mr. Kraft, how did he do that all by himself, and nobody caught on? Nobody saw anything for that long? Mm, I kinda, mm. Which, side note, Lawrence
Bittaker recently passed away in prison, at San Quentin. He was there as well, on death row, with his friend, Mr. Kraft here. Oh, fuck, you know that they
were conspiracing together. Oh, jeez, he actually recently
passed away last month. That guy was disgusting. I did do a video on them. I'll link it down below if
you're curious about it. So yeah, I thought that
was really interesting, the conspiracy, I guess, that they were all working together. And plus, this I-5 freeway killer man, it seems to make more sense about the bodies that were
found on the freeway, right? Anyways, in the end, Randy never confessed to any of them, doing any of this, because there was no physical evidence linking him to the bodies. I don't know. So this is where I rely on you guys to hand over your theories. Because you guys in the Comment sections always have the best theories, that I've never thought of. I'm like, you're on to something. So that's the story about Randy Kraft. This disgusting human being
killed a lot of people. It's so sad. A lot, 61, that they know of. I would love to hear your
guys' thoughts down below. Thank you so much for
hanging out with me today. Please, please, please be safe out there, and make good choices, please. Please, I care about you, and I want you to be safe, yes. Thank you so much for
hanging out with me today. I hope you have a wonderful day ahead. A big thank you to Hunt A Killer for partnering with me on today's episode. I hope you have a good day, you make good choices. Let me know down in the
Comment section down below, who you would like me
to talk about next week. But other than that, I'll
be seeing you guys later. ♪ Bye. ♪
