Throughout the early 1990s, Keith Hunter Jesperson embarked on a cross-country killing spree, taking the lives of at least eight known victims, though he later claimed his true body count was much higher.

In December 2024, the convicted killer called in to “The Lighter Side of True Crime With Keith Rovere” podcast to promote his book, “Happy Face: A Family of Monsters (Straight from a Serial Killer),” which hit shelves in January.
