Gary Ray Bowles. The I-95 Killer.

In 1994, a killer began moving up and down America’s East Coast, leaving murdered men behind in Florida, Georgia, and Maryland. His name was Gary Ray Bowles, and the string of killings would earn him the nickname the I-95 Killer. Bowles often met his victims in bars or while drifting from place to place. Many were older gay men who offered him companionship, money, or a place to stay. Once inside their homes, Bowles turned on them—beating, strangling, and robbing the very men who had trusted him. His first known victim was 59-year-old John Hardy Roberts, murdered in Daytona Beach, Florida, in March 1994. Over the next several months, five more men would die: David Alan Jarman, Milton Joseph Bradley, Alverson Carter Jr., Albert Morris, and Walter “Jay” Hinton. As the bodies accumulated along the Interstate 95 corridor, authorities realized they were hunting a serial killer. Bowles became one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, but he continued moving from city to city, using aliases and staying one step ahead of police. Then, in November 1994, investigators caught up with him in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. When police questioned the man they had in custody, fingerprints confirmed what investigators had been desperately hoping to learn: They had finally caught Gary Ray Bowles. Bowles confessed to killing six men during his eight-month spree. He ultimately received the death penalty for the murder of Walter Hinton, whom he had beaten with a heavy concrete stepping stone and strangled inside Hinton’s Jacksonville Beach home. On August 22, 2019, after spending more than two decades on Florida’s death row, Gary Ray Bowles was executed by lethal injection. This is the true crime story of Gary Ray Bowles, the I-95 Killer—a drifter who preyed on men who offered him their trust, a killing spree stretching across three states, and an FBI manhunt to stop a murderer who used America’s highways to keep moving.   Sources for this podcast Start Kris Calvert's Books today FREE Support the show Send Kris and Rob a Message JOIN THE  HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS START KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREE H2H WEBSITE H2H on TWITTER H2H on INSTA Gary Ray Bowles, I-95 Killer, I95 Killer, Gary Ray Bowles serial killer, Gary Bowles murders, Gary Ray Bowles victims, John Hardy Roberts, David Alan Jarman, Milton Bradley, Alverson Carter Jr, Albert Morris, Walter Jay Hinton, Jacksonville Beach murders, Daytona Beach serial killer, Florida serial killer, Georgia serial killer, Maryland serial killer, FBI Ten Most Wanted, gay men serial killer victims, 1994 serial killer, Florida death row, Gary Ray Bowles execution, true crime podcast #GaryRayBowles, #I95Killer, #GaryBowles, #FloridaSerialKiller, #FBI10MostWanted, #JacksonvilleTrueCrime, #FloridaTrueCrime, #SerialKiller, #SerialKillers, #TrueCrime, #TrueCrimePodcast, #TrueCrimeCommunity, #CrimeHistory, #1990sTrueCrime, #Hitched2Homicide   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
