Toolbox Killers

A sadistic duo, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, used everyday items for torture and murder.

In the late 1970s in California, a pair of notorious serial killers, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, preyed on young women and documented the attacks.

Roy Norris and Lawrence Bittaker, known as "the Toolbox Killers," recorded the torture of their victims through photos and tapes.

Laura Brand has interviewed dozens of serial killers but says 'Toolbox Killer' Lawrence Bittaker is one of the most sadistic she has met — by a landslide.

Lawrence Bittaker, along with partner Roy Norris, used to drive around with a toolbox looking for victims to torture during a heinous five-month stretch in 1979.

Items coined as "murderabilia" range from artwork to fingernail clippings of serial murderers. Victim advocate Andy Kahan wants to stop criminals from profiting off their crimes.

Long after Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris were arrested, the bodies of two of their victims, Andrea Hall and Cindy Schaefer, remain missing.

After bonding in prison, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris executed a plan to abduct girls, bring them into the San Gabriel mountains, and rape and torture them.
