Patrick Wayne Kearney

The ‘Trash Bag Killer’ was Patrick Wayne Kearney, a serial killer who operated between 1975 and 1977. His first verified murder occurred in 1968 while he resided in Culver City, California. The killer had a high IQ, but admitted to killing 32 gay individuals after he was apprehended. His nickname comes from the way he dumped their remains along California freeways in garbage bags.

Despite being acquitted of 21 murders, the assassin was sentenced to life imprisonment in July 1977 for confessing. In addition to this, he was a necrophile who disposed of his victims in the desert and buried them in a structured manner.
