Randy Kraft: Government Cheese Anus Killer

it does. So what's been going on with everybody? Have you missed me? Have you missed the solo episodes? I'm sure you have, So today I'm actually covering one of your favorite topics, and that is programmed Killers. This may turn into a couple of different episodes. I don't know if I'm gonna call it a mini series or just a bunch of episodes that kind of go together that are about different things. We'll see how it goes. But today we are going to meet a man named Randy Kraft.

Some may know him as the Scorecard Killer, among other monikers. And you may have stumbled across the podcast or to discussing the disgusting brutality of his crimes. But you know why you want to listen to the cosmic peach talk about Randy Kraft over let's say, crime Junkies or forensic files whatever. It's because you know that there's more to the story, hidden facts and discarded information that will blow this case wide open, and that you're never gonna hear

on the Makeup and Murders YouTube channel. Right, that's why you're here, and I will not disappoint starting with the moniker right. One of the things that has always bothered me deeply is how these cucked, murderous retards get labeled with these bitch and monikers that are meant to send a chill down the spine of every unsuspecting American on purpose right to stir up fear and sensationalism. The Hillside Stranglers, the Zodiac Killer, BTK buying torture kill son of Sam,

the Scorecard killer Oooo, I'm paying in my penies. Fuck you right if these are just made up, fucking names created to give this scary and villainous persona to Manchurian candidates programmed by our own military. In most cases, I feel I have the right to give them new monikers, monikers that more accurately reflect the person and or their crimes. Starting with Randy here, I gave it a lot of thought, and the only suitable name for this human bag of

programmed dogshit is randyft Government Cheese anus Killer. Short, sweet, accurate, and to the point. Men like this do not get to go down as the mega villain in the history books. Sorry not sorry. If it were your son, your brother, your husband who was murdered in this way, would you want their murderer to become some kind of super villain in History's scariest comic book. I don't think so. So where do we begin to unravel the story of the

Government Cheese anus Killer from the beginning? I suppose. Randy Stephenkraft born March nineteenth, nineteen forty five is an American serial killer and rapist, known as, of course, the Scorecard Killer, the Southern California Strangler, and the Killer, and more recently, the Government Cheese anus Killer. He committed the rape, torture, and murder of a minimum of sixteen young men between nineteen seventy two and nineteen eighty three, the majority of

whom he killed in California. Randy Craft is also believed to have committed the rape and murder of up to fifty one other young men and boys. He was convicted in May nineteen eighty nine and is currently incarcerated on death row at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in Marin County, California. So this particular cheese dick is still alive and in San Quentin on death row. But there's so much we

need to unpack with this guy. So the Raft originally became known as the Scorecard Killer because upon his arrest, investigators discovered a coded list with sixty one entries on a scorecard containing cryptic references to his victims. He is also sometimes referred to as the freeway Killer because many of his victims' bodies were discovered beside or near freeways. So let's break this down. Randy Craft was born in

Long Beach, California, again March nineteenth, nineteen forty five. Seemingly normal parents, just like Bundy and Dahmer and all the usual dipshits. Mom was an upstanding member of the Harper Valley PTA. If you know, you know, But if we look closer, there's always something there to remind me, but

this is an inside job. So during Craft's college days he enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps and regularly attended demonstrations in support of the Vietnam War, and in nineteen sixty four he organized campaign rallies for Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. But I guess we'll just brush right over that like all the other serial killer documentaries, because

there's no way. While in this Reserve Officers Training Corps, he was scouted out as being a highly functioning psychopath destined for great rectal adventures, but moving on. Also in nineteen sixty four, Kraft began working as a bartender at a local Garden Grove cocktail lounge that catered to gay clientele, and he had a few flings with some dudes around this time, but was still keeping his sexuality a secret

from his family. In nineteen sixty six, Craft was arrested and charged with lewd conduct after propositioning an undercover police officer in Huntington Beach, but as he had no previous criminal record, no charges were filed. This is a reoccurring trend with mister Government Cheese, as you will see as the story progresses. So the following year he developed a radical shift in his political beliefs, how odd, becoming an ardent supporter of liberal views and eventually registering as a Democrat.

In nineteen sixty seven. Craft quickly became a Democratic Party organizer, campaigning tirelessly for the election of Robert F. Kennedy and receiving a personal letter from the Senator thanking him for his efforts. Just like Gacy with his picture of him in the First Lady, and just like Dahmer's mysterious connections at the White House at an early age, this is a red flag something that always gets swept across during

the usual serial killer documentary. So four months after graduating from college, Craft joined the United States Air Force Stinging Ding, Ding Ding, where he was sent to basic training in Texas before being stationed at the one the only Edwards Air Force Base in southern California, right alongside many of our Laurel Canyon cast of characters. No coincidence there, I'm sure this is where he supervised in the painting of

test planes. During his service in the Air Force, Craft quickly rose to the rank of Airmen first class and a supervisor manager. Red flag number two, wouldn't you say? But so, then on July twenty sixth, nineteen sixty nine, Craft supposedly announced his sexual orientation to his superiors. He was then granted a general discharge after only thirteen months

of service. His dismissal was officially listed as being on medical grounds quote unquote, But I believe it was more like he graduated the Program to Kill Academy and was being sent on his way under the excuse of being gay. So, like I said before, I do believe the psychopaths are scouted early on and used in a variety of different ways. Government Cheese was said to have been a brilliant genius

with a high IQ. So after his time in the Air Force, he fucking found employ with this aerospace firm and worked doing that for the majority of his time, ripping and running through dude's buttles. That cannot be a coincidence, you guys, But so where does it all start? Government cheese first known sexual assault was in March nineteen seventy, not even a year after his discharge from the Program to Kill Academy. Kraft encountered a thirteen year old boy

named Joseph Alvin Fancher, at Huntington Beach. Fancher explained to Kraft that he had run away from home that day and was just out and about. So Craft invited this little boy to his apartment, promising to him that he could live with him, and for some reason was offering him sex with a woman he claimed to know, even though this kid is literally only thirteen and so Fancier agreed and accompanied Kraft to his Belmont Shore apartment, where

he was drugged, beaten, and repeatedly sexually assaulted. And hours later Fancier somehow escaped from the apartment after Craft had

left to go to work. Basically, a random person was concerned saw this kid wandering around, saw that Fancer had been drugged and was disheveled and in a horrible condition, and called an ambulance and so at the hospital, Fancer's stomach needed to be pumped, and Fancer later informed police that Craft had given him drugs and had beaten him, and a search of Craft's apartment was conducted with the

cooperation of his roommate at the time. However, no charges were ever filed, saved by the bell yet again government cheese. And this was the beginning of the end because we see, much like in the case of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy, this guy keeps getting off the hook mysteriously. So between nineteen seventy one and nineteen eighty three, Kraft is believed

to have killed sixty fucking seven men. All of his suspected victims were male between the ages of fourteen and thirty, the majority of whom were in their late teens to mid twenties. But there is also something else that connects them, which is odd. But so Craft was charged with and convicted of only sixteen of these homicides, all of which had occurred between nineteen seventy two and nineteen eighty three.

Many of his victims were here's the catch members of the United States Marine Corps, and most of their bodies were found to have high levels of both alcohol and tranquilizers, indicating that they had been unconscious when they were abused and then killed. I mean, does this not screen program to kill literally checks all the boxes. But what signals this the most to me is the absolute horror of what he did to his victims. This level of complete disregard for human life can only come from one of

our fine military machines. So let's take a closer look. Let's talk about Wayne Joseph Duckett. On October fifth, nineteen seventy one, police found the nude body of a thirty year old Long Beach resident named Wayne Joseph Duckett, discarded close to the Ortega Highway. Duckett, a bartender at a gay bar named The Stable in nearby Sunset Beach, had last been seen alive on September twentieth. Unfortunately, he had been out so long putrification had destroyed any signs of

play on the body. The cause of death was listed as acute alcohol poisoning due to a very high blood alcohol level. However, the first entry in Craft's journal referred to as his scorecard Read's Stable quote unquote, leading investigators to believe that Duckett was Craft's first murder victim. Fifteen months after the murder of Duckett, Kraft killed a twenty year old marine named Edward Daniel Moore. Moore was last seen leaving the barracks at Camp Pendleton on December twenty fourth,

nineteen seventy two. His body was found beside the four h five freeway in Seal Beach during the early hours of December twenty sixth. Abrasions on Moore's body indicated that he had been pushed from a moving vehicle. An autopsy revealed he had been bound at the wrist end ankles, then beaten with a blunt instrument about the face before being garrotted. His body also exhibited numerous bitemarks, and a sock had been forced into his rectum. The bee hole

sock is going to be very important. Just wait, so. Six weeks after the murder of Moore, on February sixth, nineteen seventy three, the body of an unidentified male estimated to be between seventeen and twenty five years old, was found alongside the Terminal Island Freeway in Wilmington. This victim had been strangled with a ligature and also had a

sock violently inserted into his bee hole. Now. Two months later, on April fourteenth, the body of seventeen year old Kevin Clark Bailey was found beside a road in Huntington Beach. Bailey had been emasculated and sodomized prior to his murder. What does it mean to be emasculated? Okay? I had an idea of what this could be A fancy way of saying, and yes, upon googling, it means that their

penis and ball bag were ripped off before death. What a way to die, folks, I mean, really, but so, by July twenty eighth, a further two victims had been murdered, an unidentified youth whose dismembered body was found in Wilmington on April twenty second, and a twenty year old named Ronnie Jean Weeb, whose strangled body was discarded beside an on ramp of the four or five Freeway on July thirtieth,

two days after he had disappeared. And Kraft is known to have killed at least once more in nineteen seventy three. So the last known victim in nineteen seventy three was a twenty three year old bisexual art student named Vincent Cruz Mestus, whose body was found in the San Bernardino Mountains on December twenty ninth. As with several previous victims, one of the victim socks had been violently forced into his biole Mestus hand had also been severed from his

body and was never found. So by November nineteen seventy four, five more victims had been found beside or close to major roadways in southern California, three of whom had been

conclusively linked to the same killer via beehole socks. Two of these victims, twenty year old Malcolm Eugene Little and nineteen year old James Dale Reeves, had each been found beside a freeway with foreign objects inserted into their bodies, whereas the body of the third victim, eighteen year old marine Roger Edward Dickerson, bore evidence of bitemarks, much like

several earlier victims. On January third, nineteen seventy five, Kraft abducted and murdered a seventeen year old high school student named John William Leross. The youth was last seen boarding a bus in Long Beach. His strangled body was found the following day, discarded at Sunset Beach with an undisclosed foreign object protruding from anus. I guess we're just supposed

to use our imagination on that one. Also, drag marks along the beach close to where his body was found suggested that two individuals had carried Leros's body into the water. Much like the stories of many programmed killers, we're most likely dealing with multiple assailants here. So. Two weeks after this murder, on January seventeenth, the body of a twenty one year old named Craig Jonatis was found discarded in the parking lot of the Golden Sales Hotel near the

Pacific Coast Highway and Lions Drive in Long Beach. Jonatis had been strangled to death with a length of string, possibly a shoelace. By January nineteen seventy five, a total of fourteen victims had been linked to the same killer, their bodies having been found discarded across four separate counties over the previous three years. All the victims had been

Caucasian males with similar physical characteristics. Some investigators believed the murders to be the work of more than one individual, much like the Son of Sam that we discussed in the Program to Kill series and Ted Bundy couldn't be in two places at once right. Investigators also believed one or both killers had to have had a military background, as two victims had tissue paper residue in their nostrils, a procedure known to be used in the military to

prevent bodies from purging after death. What about the bee hole socks, well, The insertion of sock inside the victim's rectums was also theorized to have been intended to prevent purging as the body was driven to the disposal location. So again, Kraft was supposed to be in charge of what again in the military painting test planes. Wondering the painting lessons, did the shoving socks in a dead man's

beethole come up? I mean, I'm no rocket scientist, but I feel like those two things do not come up in the same class. But what do I know? Right? Let me read your little article here.
