I-70 KILLER

Book claims FBI believes I-70 killer from Indianapolis
It’s been one of the most enduring murder mysteries of the last 30 years: the identity and the motive behind the I-70 killings, a string of slayings in strip malls near interstates stretching from Indiana to Kansas in the early 1990s.

It all started at a Payless ShoeSource store at I-465 and Pendleton Pike on April 8, 1992, and is the subject of a new book that sheds light on the decades-long investigation and is the latest case to be profiled on Indy Unsolved.

”Well the first case was here in Indianapolis with Robin Fuldauer and the second case was just a couple days later in Wichita,” said Bob Cyphers, a retired St. Louis reporter who has written the new book, “Dead End: Inside the Hunt for the I-70 Serial Killer.”

The I-70 Killer Murdered 6 Store Clerks in 1992
It was the spring of 1992 when the infamous I-70 killings began.

Robin Fuldauer, 26, was killed when an intruder entered a Payless ShoeSource store in Indianapolis where she was working alone and fatally shot her on April 8, 1992.

More killings would unfold, and police were at a complete loss — until one victim survived. The case is chronicled in the upcoming episode of People Magazine Investigates. Titled "The 1-70 Killer," the episode airs Monday, July 17 at 9/8c on ID, and streams on Max. (An exclusive clip is shown below.)

Three days after Fuldauer's shooting, Patricia Smith, 23, and Patricia Magers, 32, were gunned down while working at the La Bride d'Elegance bridal shop in Wichita, Kan. The employees were helping a customer when a man carrying a gun entered the store, demanded the customer go to the shop’s back room, and then shot the two women.

This case makes little sense to me. And there isn't much to go on. Mostly had chosen shops with a woman's name. They have 3 different sketches that are similar, Along with physical descriptions. He was observed after leaving one crime scene, Climbing a hill to I-70. That makes sense. His getaway. I would think a truck driver, But no one mentions a vehicle at all. This guy, Seemingly on a spree. IDK. Just stopped. One way or another. Not by him deciding to.

Interesting. I kind of hate in a way when they profile. Any person with any smarts would go different than what they would likely profile no? i get the point in a way, they can tell some things and guess at others but to me at times it is duh. If I were a serial killer I'd look at this stuff as we all can and say well I am not going to do THAT because they'd profile that and that matches me, my age, my sex, my state of life. Duh.

It is kind of like when I was at JT in a certain case and one member shared what product would clean blood and DNA, not bleach, something else, and I was like why are you sharing that, I didn't know and certainly no future killers needed to know, read it or be taught.

So when they profile and it hits all over the news it is the same, they are just telling thinking about doing it killers and already active serial killers what not to do... No?

This one wen from IN to KS? Not a huge distance but...
