Sentenced to Death, Sunset Strip Killer Dies of Old Age

California’s notorious Sunset Strip Killer, Douglas Clark, who was sentenced to death for six grisly murders in 1983, died in a hospital last week at the age of 75.  Chris Eberhart of Fox News reports that Clark was convicted of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and murdering six women over the summer of 1980.  He mutilated the bodies of his victims, decapitating one and keeping her head in a freezer.  His partner in the murders, Carol Bundy, told police that Clark would have sex with some of his victims corpses before dumping the bodies.  The oldest victim was 25, while three others were teenagers.  All of these young women suffered horribly before they were killed and mutilated.  Because of Governors Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom refusing to enforce the death penalty, even after California voters demanded it remain the law, Clark avoided a well-deserved execution and lived out his life, dying of natural causes.
