The I-70 killer is an unidentified American serial killer who is known to have killed six store clerks in the Midwestern United States in the spring of 1992. His nickname derives from the fact that several of the stores in which his victims worked were located a few miles off of Interstate 70.
The victims were usually young, petite, brunette women. One of the victims was a man, but it is believed that the killer mistook him for a woman due to the store having a woman's name and the victim having long hair. The stores were all specialty stores and usually robbed of only small amounts of cash. The killer is also suspected of shooting three more store clerks in Texas during 1993 and 1994, one of whom survived, as well as a 2001 murder of a store clerk in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Despite the case being featured on Unsolved Mysteries, America's Most Wanted, Dark Minds and People Magazine Investigates, the killer is yet to be identified and investigators have not publicly identified any suspects.
