Donald Leroy Evans: The Rest Stop Killer – Confessions of a Drifter

In this twisted episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale uncovers the haunting tale of Donald Leroy Evans, a self-proclaimed drifter who claimed to have murdered over 70 people across the United States. Known as The Rest Stop Killer, Evans lured vulnerable women and children into remote areas—parks, highways, and public restrooms—before unleashing unspeakable brutality.
But as investigators peeled back the layers of his confessions, they were left with one burning question: how much of it was real? From the verified murders of Beatrice Routh and Ira Jean Smith, to a laundry list of dubious claims, Evans blurred the line between truth and twisted fantasy. This episode explores a killer who thrived on chaos, fed on attention, and died without ever revealing the full scope of his darkness.
