A mother and daughter—brutalized, murdered, and left to rot in the summer heat. A young college student—killed with a .38 handgun at a remote highway rest stop. These were just a few of the victims of Timothy Krajcir, a sexual predator with an unquenchable appetite for violence. . .
He would travel to towns where nobody knew him, break into a woman's home, and wait for her. It started when he was still in his teens, when a rape conviction landed Krajcir in jail. After that, he spent much of his adult life behind bars for various sex crimes. By the time he was in his early 30s, he was a free man. Free to stalk, rape, and kill.
But in 2007, new DNA testing finally linked Krajcir to another college girl's murder. Ultimately, Krajcir confessed to killing nine women—five in Missouri and four in Illinois and Pennsylvania. But his three-decade reign of terror has never been forgotten—and the full range of his predatory crimes never revealed—until now.
