Randall Woodfield was many things to many people: a star athlete and high school jock who was drafted into the NFL and played for the Green Bay Packers, a devout Christian involved in prayer groups and fellowships, an all-American son and brother, a charming and good-looking guy who sought to model in Play Girl Magazine.

He was also a sexual sadist, a thief, a rapist, a necrophiliac and psychopathic serial killer.

Despite these many contrasting personas, he is now known to history under one name: the 1-5 Killer.

In 1980 and 1981 Randy Woodfield terrorized residents of Washington, California and Oregon as he roamed an 800 mile stretch of a highway on a horrible spree of robbery, rape and murder, he is linked to 18 murders and is suspected of killing as many as 44 women.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the savage and horrible story of Randy Woodfield, the dreaded and disgusting 1-5 Killer.
