The Co-Ed Killer’s Chilling Reign in California 🎃
Between May 1972 and April 1973, Santa Cruz, California became the hunting ground of Edmund Kemper, a man whose calm demeanor hid monstrous intent. Known as The Co-Ed Killer, Kemper preyed on young women — many of them students from nearby colleges. His first known victims were his grandparents, Edmund Emil Kemper Sr. and Maude Matilda Kemper, whom he killed in North Fork, California in 1964 at just 15 years old.
After being released, he began a spree that claimed the lives of Mary Ann Pesce and Anita Luchessa on May 7, 1972, followed by Aiko Koo in September 1972, and Cindy Schall on January 7, 1973. He later murdered his own mother, Clarnell Elizabeth Strandberg, and her friend Sally Hallett on April 20, 1973.
Kemper’s killing spree ended when he turned himself in to police, confessing to the gruesome acts that terrified Santa Cruz. Behind bars, he remains one of America’s most disturbing examples of intellect mixed with evil.
