April 14, 1951 - Bruce Mendenhall
A long-haul trucker, Mendenhall used the mobility and anonymity of interstate routes to target victims across multiple states, with investigators linking him to a series of killings at truck stops in the South and Midwest. His case drew attention to the broader phenomenon of highway serial killings, a pattern law enforcement had been working to systematically document. The conviction in the Hulbert murder represented only one anchor point in an investigation that spanned several jurisdictions.
