Coming soon: An interview with executed serial killer Bill Bonin's co-defendant Tina Munro

Coming this fall, an interview with executed serial killer William Bonin's co-defendant, Tina Munro.

Bill Bonin, Gregory Miley, Vernon Butts and James Munro are infamously remembered in California’s criminal history for their gruesome acts as serial killers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bonin, known as the "Freeway Killer," was responsible for the murders of at least 14 young men and boys, whom he lured with offers of rides or assistance. His horrific methods included abduction, sexual assault, and murder, with bodies often discarded along the state's freeways.

The sheer brutality of Bonin's actions shocked communities and captured extensive media attention, revealing a dark side to everyday life. James Munro played a more nuanced role in this chilling partnership, assisting in the murder of their last confirmed victim, Steven Wells. Their collaboration created a disturbing dynamic, amplifying the effectiveness of Bonin’s horrific methods. The duo's arrest in 1980 was a pivotal moment in California’s law enforcement efforts, prompting a more rigorous approach to tracking down serial offenders.

The aftermath of their crimes left deep scars on the families of victims and the surrounding communities. Bonin was ultimately convicted and sentenced to death, while Munro faced serious charges that highlighted the grotesque nature of their acts. Munro was convicted and sentenced to 15-life in prison. Their case ignited discussions about criminal psychology and the nature of evil, underscoring the need for vigilance and community awareness in combating such violence. The legacy of Bonin and Munro serves as a stark reminder of the unsettling realities that can lurk beneath the surface of society.
