Salem Statesman Journal on two Kraft victims, Jul-Aug 1980

The following four articles concern the murders of Michael O'Fallon and Larry Parks, who were found in July 1980 on the 17th and 18th, respectively. Both are considered confirmed victims of serial killer Randy Kraft. O'Fallon's body was identified on Aug. 14, 1980, while Parks was known only as a John Doe up until his identification in 2025. Some of the later articles featured here mention serial killer William Bonin and his accomplices, who had been recently connected to some of California's "Freeway Killings." 

Warning: The second page of the first article contains a (non-graphic) postmortem image of Michael O'Fallon's face. The third article also contains a (non-graphic) postmortem image of that of Larry Parks.
