 He buried his decapitated and dismembered victims around Santa Cruz County and later turned himself in after calling police from a payphone and confessing his crimes. The Santa Cruz County District Attorney told the parole board that in terms of serial killers, Kemper is one of the most depraved in the country. He also murdered his grandparents when he was 15 years old. A lawyer representing Kemper back in 2007 previously said he was content staying locked up. His next parole hearing is set for 2031.
