"Freeway Killer" William George Bonin, who had been accused of the murder of one boy, was charged on July 30, 1988, with an additional 13 counts of murder. A second suspect, Vernon Butts, was charged with being an accomplice in six of those killings. Police had been searching for a suspect responsible for the murders of 42 boys during an eight-year period. Other suspects eventually were picked up in connection with the murders, including James Monro.
