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. | ||

All of his suspected victims were males between the ages of 13 and 35, the majority of whom were in their late teens to mid-twenties. Kraft was charged with—and convicted of—sixteen of these homicides, all of which had occurred between 1972 and 1983. Many of his victims had been enlisted in the United States Marines Corps, and most of his victims' bodies bore evidence of high levels of both alcohol and tranquilizers in their blood systems, indicating they had been rendered insensate before they had been abused and killed. | All of his suspected victims were males between the ages of 13 and 35, the majority of whom were in their late teens to mid-twenties.
