Born in 1952, Larry Eyler became known as the "Highway Killer" after some of his victims were found alongside highways. Eyler was a native Hoosier who favored Marine Corps caps and drove a pickup truck. In his early 30's Eyier started picking up men under the guise of consensual sex, with a bit of bondage thrown in. Once he got the victims to a secluded area and handcuffed them, Eyler would brutally beat the victim, and then kill them. Most of his victims were found with their pants pulled down and disemboweled.
Eyler was connected to one of his crimes by a tire track he left at one of the scenes. Eyler was later observed dumping 8 trash bags in a dumpster, and police found the remains of a 15-year-old boy inside. Eyler was sentenced to die by lethal injection.
Eyler confessed to the attorney handling his appeal that he had committed 21 murders. Eyler offered to give information on these murders if his sentence would be commuted to "life." The state refused to make a deal.
Eyler died in 1994 at the age of 41 of AIDS-related complications. Two days after his death, the attorney handling his appeal went public with the details of the 21 murders Eyler claimed as his own. His confessions matched the physical evidence at the scenes, and the 21 cases of serial murder were closed.
