Tragically, Raymond Davis was 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. 

Following complaints from residents of Echo Park regarding a foul odor emanating from the direction of the Hollywood Freeway on July 29, 1982, a Cal Trans employee found the decaying body of a 14-year-old from Pittsburg, California youth named Raymond Davis discarded alongside the Rampart Boulevard offramp. Rudimentary efforts had been made to conceal Davis’s body beneath leaves and soil. The youth’s wrists had been knotted behind his back in much the same manner as had victim Michael O’Fallon two years previously, and he had been strangled to death with his shoelace. He had last seen alive in Echo Park on June 17, searching for his missing “DOG”. Prosecutors believe Davis is linked to the coded word “DOG” represented on Kraft’s Scorecard found in his trunk the night of his arrest.
