A year later a teenage couple, Robert Domingos and Linda Edwards were slain as they enjoyed a romantic day on the beach together. Months later, newly-wed couple Johnny and Joyce Swindle were gunned down in an eerily similar attack. And then, just 2 years later 18-year-old co-ed, Cheri Jo Bates, was brutally stabbed to death after leaving her local college library the day before Halloween. The heartless killer would send letters to the press and police confessing he had committed the murder, and also sent letters to taunt her family.
