This is about the mysterious serial killer, only known as The Doodler or The Black Doodler and the victims. His victims were mainly found at Ocean Beach in California. Most of his victims were men from out of town that he would meet at gay nightclubs and bars. He would flirt with them and sketch their picture on a cocktail napkin. Afterwards, they’d leave the bar or nightclub. The men that had been sketched had the expectations of sex. However, that is not what the Doodler had in mind at all.
There were three survivors that are known of but since they didn’t want to reveal they were gay by testifying on the stand, there were never charges pressed on the suspect the police highly believed was the serial killer.
