He is responsible for the murder of a minimum of 16 young men, and is also believed to have also raped and murdered nearly 50 more men and young boys. He was a closeted homosexual in life which is most likely why his victims were almost exclusively male. Overall, he is believed to have killed 67 people in total. | |hobby = Killing, raping, and torturing boys and men}}'''Randy Kraft''' (born March 19, 1945), also known as the '''Scorecard Killer''', the '''Southern California Strangler''', and the '''Freeway Killer''' (a nickname he shares with fellow serial killers [[William Bonin]] and [[Patrick Kearney]]) is an American serial killer who committed a number of murders and rapes in California between 1972 and 1983.

Twenty-two of Kraft's estimated 67 victims remain unrecovered and/or unidentified.

One unknown entry upon the scorecard simply reads "Hari Kari". This entry may refer to the stabbing murder of 30-year-old David Michael Sandt, who was found sexually assaulted and stabbed to death close to a vacant house in Long Beach on January 13, 1975. The multiple stab wounds inflicted were to Sandt's stomach, and his body was found in a kneeling position with his arms extended in front of him in a position reminiscent of the Japanese ritual suicide practice known as Hara-kiri. | One unknown entry upon the scorecard simply reads "Hari Kari".
