Gerald Parker

Gerald Parker, also known as the Bedroom Basher and the Bludgeon Killer, is an American serial killer and sex offender who raped and murdered five young women and girls aged 17 to 31 in Orange County, California, from December 1978 through October 1979. During this time, he was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps stationed in Tustin. He was dishonorably discharged in 1980 after his conviction for rape, but he would not be linked to the murders until over a decade later following a DNA match.
