Episode 26: Fernando Leyva.
In the realm of American true crime, there are few figures as chilling and enigmatic as Fernando
Leyva, a drifter and serial killer who terrorized the United States during the late 1980s and early
1990s. Dubbed the "West Coast Drifter" and the "Cornfield Killer," Leyva's murderous rampage left a
trail of death and destruction in its wake, spanning several states and claiming the lives of at least 70
victims. His crimes, motivated by a deep-seated hatred and a desire to inflict pain and suffering,
shocked the nation and left investigators baffled for years.
