as being a "very, very long distance" as he repeatedly heard Macabe crying as Bonin raped Macabe and bludgeoned him about the head with a tire iron. Bonin then forced Macabe to sleep in his arms. Upon Macabe's waking, Miley joined Bonin in beating the child into unconsciousness simply because he "felt like" doing so before Bonin crushed Macabe's neck with a tire iron. Bonin then strangled Macabe to death with his own T-shirt before the pair discarded his corpse alongside a dumpster at a construction site in Walnut City. Macabe's body was discovered three days later, fully clothed, bearing several skull fractures and a bruised penis. Following the murder of Macabe, Bonin and Miley spent the money retrieved from his wallet for lunch. One day after Miranda and Macabe's murder, Bonin was arrested for violating the conditions of his parole; he was remanded in custody at the Orange County Jail until March 4. March 1980 Throughout his adult life, Bonin worked in a series of menial professions such as the aforementioned bartendering profession and taxi driving. None of these jobs lasted a significant length of time, and he was frequently unemployed. Following his release, he obtained more secure employment as a truck driver at his former Montebello workplace at Dependable Drive-Away, earning $5 an hour. While delivering trucks, Bonin frequently argued with his boss – who was unaware of his status as a sex offender – for picking up a hitchhiker in his presence on one occasion and taking longer, unnecessary routes which detectives later took interest in.

Gatlin was beaten and sodomized, suffering several deep, perforating ice pick wounds to the ear and neck before being strangled with a ligature. He also bore signs of extensive beating. The following day, his bound body was found behind an industrial building in the city of Duarte. One week later, on March 21, Bonin offered a ride to 14-year-old hitchhiker Glenn Norman Barker. Barker was also beaten and raped with objects, then strangled with a ligature; his neck had numerous burns made by a cigarette and his rectum was extensively distended. At approximately 4:07 p.m. the same day, 15-year-old Russell Duane Rugh was abducted from a bus stop in
