Tragically, David Murillo is one of the victims of California serial murderer, William Bonin who was convicted of the rape, torture and murder of 14 boys and young men between 1968 and 1980. Known as “The Freeway Killer”, he was executed by lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison in 1996. Prosecutors portrayed him as “the most arch-evil person who ever existed.” Although he was found guilty of 14 murders, he confessed to 21 and is suspected of even more.
On September 9, 1979, 17-year-oldDavid Murillo was lured into Bonin’s van, where he was bound and abused and bludgeoned about the skull with a tire iron. He was then strangled to death with a ligature and his body tossed over an embankment into a bed of ivy alongside Highway 101.
