A death row convict, known as the "Sunset Strip Killer," passed away in prison after four decades, marking the end of a grim chapter in Los Angeles' history.
Douglas Daniel Clark, aged 75, terrorized the Sunset Boulevard, committing horrifying acts, including the brutal murders of at least six women. One of his victims was tragically decapitated, with her head chillingly preserved in his refrigerator.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirmed that Clark, a former Burbank factory worker, died of natural causes at San Quentin State Prison, while his partner in crime, Carol Bundy, had already passed away in prison in 2003 at 61.
Clark and Bundy's modus operandi often involved targeting young prostitutes and teenage runaways frequenting "The Strip" at night, subjecting them to sexual assault and fatal violence, often by a .25-caliber gunshot to the head. Shockingly, some victims were decapitated, serving as macabre mementos for Clark. During his trial, evidence surfaced indicating his deep-seated obsession with necrophilia, revealing the chilling extent of his crimes.
While Bundy was eventually spared the death penalty by cooperating with authorities, Clark received six consecutive death sentences for multiple counts of first-degree murder, along with additional prison time for mutilation, sexual contact with human remains, and attempted first-degree murder. Despite his initial death sentence in 1983, Clark's demise arrived after spending over forty years behind bars.
