Tragically, Frank Fox was 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 November 30, 1979, 17-year-old Frank Fox was abducted from Bellflower on November 30 by an unassisted William Bonin. He was sodomized and strangled to death. Fox’s body was found two days later alongside the Ortega Highway. The location of Fox’s body is five miles east of San Juan Capistrano. He bore signs of binding and blunt force trauma.
