Various Kraft articles, 1983 to 1989

The following 21 articles all concern serial killer Randy Kraft and were accessed through Newspapers.com.

This page is under construction/a work in progress. So far (as of 7/4/26) I have only managed to look up "Ronnie Wiebe" in NP.com from 1975-1999, and these are all of the unique results that I haven't already collected elsewhere. I plan to do the same for other victims / mentions of Kraft later on.

There are 1,322 results for "Randy Kraft" in California from May 1983 to Dec. 1990.

Of those, 560 are specifically Pages (rather than auto-generated clippings) from The LA Times, SBern County Sun, & Escondido Times-Advocate
