Tool Box Serial Killers Last Victim— True Crime
The serial killing duo of Bittaker and Norris let their fantasies of sexual violence become a reality that they soon lived for, spending all their time driving in their van looking for their next victim.
The Tool Box killers had met in California Men’s Colony prison in 1977. There the two realized that they shared a common interest in sexual violence. They would start their stalking of prey in February of 1979, building up to their first victim in June, Lucinda Lynn Schaefer.
They cooled off for two weeks when they grabbed Andrea Joy Hall while she was hitchhiking the Pacific Coast Highway.
Next would be Jackie Doris Gilliam and Jacqueline Leah Lamp. The Toy Box Killers would find them sitting on a bus stop bench in Hermosa Beach.
On October 31, 1979, the Tool Box Killers would abduct 16-year-old Shirley Lynette Ledford.
Shirley had been at a Halloween party in the Sunland-Tujunga area of Los Angeles. She had planned on hitchhiking home while standing outside of a gas station two men in a van pulled up. Shirley recognized the one Lawrence Bittaker. He was a regular at the restaurant she worked at as a waitress.
The other man was Roy Norris, he’s who offered her marijuana after she got in the van, but she refused.
