Murder Most Vile Volume 13

Serial Killers: Gerald Parker

Born: 1955 

Number of victims: 6    

Date of murders: 1978 - 1979

Method of murder: Bludgeoning   

Location: Orange County, California

Known as the "Bedroom Basher," Gerald Parker was a vicious sex slayer who murdered five women in the late 70’s while serving in the US Marines at the El Toro Air Station in California. And Parker might well have gotten away with it but for advances in DNA technology that eventually brought him to book and freed an innocent man. 

Dianna D'Aiello was 21 years old and heavily pregnant with her first child on the day in 1979 that Parker entered her home and attacked her. D'Aiello was so severely beaten that she lost her baby and remained comatose for a month after the attack. When she eventually regained consciousness she named her husband, Marine Corporal Kevin Lee Green, as the attacker. Green was duly arrested for the assault on his wife and the murder of his unborn child. Found guilty at trial, he was sentenced to life in prison and would remain behind bars for 16 years before semen from the crime scene was subjected to DNA testing. It returned a match to Gerald Parker, who was then serving time for the rape of a 13-year-old girl.

With the DNA match established, investigators traveled to Avenal State Prison to interview Parker. They expected denials, but Parker seemed almost relieved to unburden himself. He readily confessed to the attack on Dianna D'Aiello. Then her stunned the detectives by admitting to five more homicides; 17-year-old Sandra Kay Fry of Costa Mesa in 1978; Kimberly Gaye Rawlins, 21, of Costa Mesa; Marilyn Kay Carleton, 31, of Costa Mesa; Debora Kennedy, 24, of Tustin; and Debra Lynn Senior, 17, of Costa Mesa. The latter four victims were all killed in 1979.

Gerald Parker would eventually be convicted of these murders and sentenced to die by lethal injection. He currently awaits execution.

Serial Killers: Lorenzo Fayne

Born: 1965

Number of victims: 6   

Date of murders: 1989 - 1993

Method of murder: Bludgeoning / Stabbing / Strangulation  

Location: Wisconsin / Illinois 

Lorenzo Fayne was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1970. As a child, he suffered horrendous physical abuse at the hands of his parents and, by age 13, he was already a seasoned criminal with arrests for shoplifting, assault, indecent exposure, housebreaking, and car theft.

When Fayne was 18, he began drifting between Milwaukee and East St. Louis, Illinois, where his grandmother lived. That same year, he also committed his first murder, sexually assaulting and then killing 6-year-old Aree Hunt. Over the next three years, he would claim five more victims, four of them children.

Latondra Dean, 14, was discovered stabbed to death in a bathtub in March 1992. Three months later, 9-year-old Fallon Flood was found inside an abandoned locker room at East St. Louis Senior High School. She had been strangled to death. The severely decomposed body of Glenda Jones, 17, was found behind Martin Luther King Junior High in June 1993. And in  July 1994, 17-year-old Faith Davis was found stabbed to death at a friend’s house. 

The Davis murder would prove Fayne’s undoing. After a detective spotted a trail of blood leading away from the crime scene, a K-9 unit was brought in and the dogs followed the trail right to the home of Lorenzo Fayne’s grandmother.

Fayne was tried separately for each murder. In the Aree Hunt case, he received a life sentence. In each of the other cases, he was sentenced to death. He has since been linked by DNA evidence to the murder of 32-year-old Rita Scott.

Blood Brothers Volume Two

Serial Killers: Wesley Shermantine & Loren Herzog

Number of victims:  4+   

Date of murders: 1984 - 1999

Method of murder: Shooting / Stabbing   

Location: California / Utah

Known as the ‘Speed Freak Killers,’ due to their love of methamphetamines, Herzog and Shermantine were a lethal pair of psychopaths who prowled the highways and byways of Northern California for over 15 years, committing random murders whenever the felt so inclined. California investigators believe that they may have killed as many as 20 people, disposing of their bodies in mineshafts and remote countryside around the town of Stockton.

Many of the murders were committed without apparent motive. The deadly duo would be driving around and would spot a stranded motorist and decide on the spur of the moment to kill them. Others, however, were rape slayings. It would be one of these, the 1985 murder of 16-year-old Chevelle Yvonne Wheeler, that would bring the killers to justice.

Chevelle (or Chevy, as she was known) disappeared after she was seen getting into a red pickup outside her high school on October 16, 1985. Shermantine owned just such a truck and he was immediately as suspect, especially after hair and blood was discovered inside a cabin owned by his parents. However, he denied any involvement in the disappearance and the police lacked the evidence to charge him.

Fifteen years on and DNA technology had advanced enough for police to match the evidence to Chevy Wheeler. Brought in for questioning, Shermantine continued to deny his involvement, while Herzog quickly cracked under pressure and admitted to several murders. He insisted, however, that Shermantine had done the killing and that he had only been along for the ride.

Shermantine would eventually be charged with four murders and sentenced to death. Herzog would face three charges, resulting in a prison term of 78 years. The sentenced was later reduced on appeal and he was released on parole in September 2010. Shortly after his release, he hung himself in his trailer.

After Herzog’s death, Wesley Shermantine led police to the bodies of Chevy Wheeler and another female victim, Cyndi Vanderheiden. He insisted, however, that Herzog had committed the murders.
