Donald Harold Crisel was 20 when he was killed on June 16, 1979. A Marine, he was one of the victims of Randy Kraft, known as the Freeway Killer and the Scorecard Killer. Crisel’s body was pushed from a slow-moving vehicle along the 405 Freeway in Irvine, California. Multiple witnesses saw the incident but disagreed on whether the vehicle was a car or a van. His corpse bore tire tracks and was still warm when police arrived; investigators also noted ligature marks on his neck and wrists, indicating he had been restrained.

Kraft was convicted of multiple murders, including Crisel’s, and was sentenced to death. His victims were often young men, many of them military personnel, and his crimes included torture, mutilation, strangulation, and disposing of bodies along highways. Does anyone have memories or information about that stretch of the 405 in Irvine from June 1979?
