Tragically, Dennis Alt is one of the victims of California serial murderer, Randy Kraft who was convicted of murdering 16 men and boys between 1972 and 1983 and is on death row for his crimes. He was known as the “Scorecard Killer.” He was known to have killed at least another 51 young men and boys and is the most prolific serial murderer in California history. 

Alt’s body was discovered in an icy field north of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Alt was clothed, except his genitals were exposed. Alt was missing his boots. The cause of death was strangulation. Alt had diazepam in his system. He and his cousin Chris Schoenborn were attending a horticulture show at Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. Kraft had been seen with both victims at the hotel bar the night before. Kraft was staying at the same hotel on a business trip. Alt’s car keys were found in Kraft’s hotel room after he checked out. Alt’s bottle opener was found in Kraft’s home in Long Beach. Both victims were from Grand Rapids “GR” and Alt was found with his cousin “2”. Prosecutors believe Alt is linked to the coded word “GR2” represented on Kraft’s Scorecard found in his trunk the night of his arrest.
