Rest Stop Killer

<p>Donald Leroy Evans was an American serial killer who allegedly killed over 15 people between 1970 and 1991 but confessed to over 60 murderers-mostly women-at rest stops and parks throughout 20 U.S. states. He was arrested after leading police to the body of a homeless ten-year-old girl Beatrice Routh who he had kidnapped in Mississippi taken to Louisiana where he raped and strangled her to death and then dumped her body in a shallow grave back in Mississippi. Evans pled guilty to the offense and then to an additional 60 murders (some reports state that the number was 72); however authorities could not find any evidence corroborating his claims and later Evans admitted it was a hoax.</p>
