I know it can take a decade or 2 for someone on Death Row in CA to be executed, but I've never heard, one way or another, if he was finally executed or he's still on Death Row.
That book on Randy Kraft gave me a good scare as I read it, as during that exact time he was killing those hitchhikers, I had hitchhiked out to L.A., and due to its popularity, I even hitched around L.A. during 1968 and I could have been one of his victims.

Great comparison to the green river killer where they got him to take life no parole and removed the risk of the death penalty as long as he provided closure on all of his murders, lead them to remains etc.
Doesn't appear to have been the case here and the guy has sat in jail for decades.

Alive and still evil as ever. He is a very dark evil soul! Thank god he is captured and caged up. Read all about him and seen several documentaries.
So, in other words, if you're going to be a murderer, do it in California and you'll die of old age on Death Row. Yes, I know, they're allowed 12 appeals, and given the log-jammed courts in CA, it doesn't surprise me.
The remains of a young man believed to be among the first victims of Randy Kraft — a notorious 1970s-era serial killer dubbed the “Scorecard Killer” — have been identified through investigative geneaology nearly 50 years after they were discovered in what is now Aliso Viejo, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department announced Tuesday.
The John Doe victim, who now has been identified as Cedar Rapids, Iowa, resident Michael Ray Schlicht, was found dead on the side of a freeway in 1974. His death was at first thought to be from accidental alcohol and diazepam intoxication.
Many details surrounding John Doe’s death were released to the public at the time in hopes that someone could help to establish his identity. His fingerprint classification was submitted to the Criminal Identification and Investigation Division in Sacramento, the FBI and Canadian authorities with negative results, according to the sheriff’s department.
After weeks of unsuccessful efforts to establish his identity, John Doe was interred at El Toro Memorial Park in an unmarked grave. Investigators for years have tried to establish his identity, the sheriff’s department said in a news release Tuesday (11/28/23).

I read several stories on him also. He is a horrible human being! He is still on death row.
There's no death row in California anymore. Our current governor ordered a moratorium on executions and the inmates were disbursed into the general prison population. Maybe the next governor will have more sense.
Being in the general population maybe some of this scum will be killed by fellow inmates. Wishful thinking I know.
