In the 1970s, there was a serial killer preying on San Francisco's gay community and almost 50 years later, he's never been caught. Because the victims were seen as minorities, the crimes didnt really make front page news. Police didnt really even seem to care.. Until they learned of a very weird pattern.
This killer apparently sketched his victims on napkins before taking them to their violent deaths… and thus, the media dubbed him, the Doodler Killer.
