The I-70 Killer is an unidentified serial killer who was never caught.  He claimed six store clerks along Interstate 70 in the Spring of 1992.  Some believe he is responsible for three unsolved cases along Interstate 35 in Texas, where he is known as the I-35 Killer.  The proposed criminal profile may surprise true crime viewers who are familiar with the case.

This case was featured on true crime shows such as Unsolved Mysteries and America's Most Wanted, but neither produced any substantial leads.  Now, multiple law enforcement agencies are renewing their efforts to solve this cold case, and they vow to continue their manhunt.

The I-70 Killer is known for slaying six victims in 1992 along Interstate 70 in Kansas, Missouri, and Indiana.  These were execution-style murders of store clerks, 5 female and 1 male.

Robin Fuldauer was the first victim on April 8th, 1992.  She was escorted to the back of a Payless Shoesource in Indianapolis, where she was slain.  Police had few leads, and without a clear connection to previous crimes, they suspected the motive was robbery.

On April 11th, 1992, Patricia Smith and Patricia Magers were working at Bride d'Elegance, a bridal shop in Witchita, Kansas.  They kept the store open late for a customer planning to pick up a cummerbund.  This customer would encounter the perpetrator leaving the store.  His eyewitness account allowed police to develop a police sketch.

Michael McCown worked the register at his mother's store, Sylvia's Ceramic shop on April 27th, 1992.  While there is no security footage, detectives believe that the perpetrator pretended to be a customer, instructing McCown to grab a white porcelain house from behind the counter before taking his life.  McCown would be the only male victim.

Nancy Kitzmiller managed a small Western footwear store named Boot Village in St. Charles, Missouri, just outside St. Louis.  On May 3rd 1992, a witness spotted a man with Kitzmiller in the store and moments later.  A witness discovered Kitzmiller fatally shot in the back of the store.

On May 7th, 1992, Sarah Blessing opened her New Age shop, The Store of Many Colors in Raytown, Missouri.  Several other witnesses in the parking lot described a suspicious man loitering nearby.  Later, Blessing was found deceased in the back of her store.

In Fort Worth, Texas, Mary Ann Glasscock owned and operated Emporium Antiques near Interstate 35.  A friend visited her store at midday and found her with a gunshot wound to the head.  Detectives found a .22 caliber casing at the scene, but ballistics did not match those used in the I-70 killings. However, investigators working the I-70 case believed the similarities in modus operandi were uncanny.

Amy Vess worked at Dancer's Closet, a short drive away from Mary Ann Glasscock.  The perpetrator escorted her to the back of the store in the late evening and shot twice.  Again, neighboring store owners and pedestrians provided witness descriptions.  Despite the clear connection in MO, Texas investigators remained reluctant to connect the cases.

Vicki Webb began her day at 10 AM on January 15, 1993.  She opened the Alternatives Gift Shop across from Houston's Rice University, and a customer arrived early.  He said he was waiting for his daughter to meet him there.  Webb was shot at close range, but she recovered from her injuries. She would be the only surviving victim.

The I-70 Killer targeted brunette female store clerks in the early 90s.  He selected stores that were close to Interstates 70 and 35.  The names and goods sold at these stores implied female clientele and employees.  Counter to the previous information on this case, he appeared to be organized.  He may have been employed as a traveling salesman, long haul truck driver, or construction subcontractor.  If his vehicle was branded for employment, he would have parked away from the scenes of his crimes.  This may explain why he was never seen in a vehicle.  His weapon and ammunition indicated he was using high capacity magazines.

The St. Charles Police department is making a renewed push to solve this cold case.  In 2012, they released details about the ammunition used in the commission of these crimes.  The casings had traces of corundum and rouge, an abrasive and lubricant.  This indicated that the suspect could be a machinist or familiar with caring for weapons.  For example, rouge could have been used to polish the feed ramp for his pistol.  These materials could have been used in a process known as fire-lapping, when lubricants and abrasives are fired through a barrel for convenient cleaning.  This process has the ability to alter the rifling of a weapon.
