San Diego, 1985. Women were disappearing, and fear spread as bodies began turning up in dumpsters across the city near El Cajon Boulevard. The man later identified as Bryan Maurice Jones would become one of San Diego’s most disturbing killers. This week on Fruitloops, we dive into the crimes, the investigation, and the lives that should never be forgotten.
