Dayton Leroy Rogers

American killer

Dayton Leroy Rogers (born September 30, 1953) is an American serial killer who has been tied to the murders of at least eight women. He preferred "street" women, usually addicts, sex workers, and runaways. The bodies of six of the women were found at a dump site located on privately owned forest lands outside Molalla, Oregon, and thus he was dubbed the "Molalla Forest Murderer".

Leben

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Die Entscheidung, eine Familie zu gründen, hatte damals seine Frau getroffen. Dayton wuchs in ärmlichen Verhältnissen auf und zog sehr oft mit der Familie um. Seine Noten in der Schule waren anfangs durchschnittlich, wurden jedoch mit zunehmendem Alter immer schlechter.
