On Halloween night 1979, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris picked up hitchhiker Shirley Ledford. Within 5 minutes of picking her up, Norris wrestled her to the floor of the “Murder Mack” van. Bittaker pulled over and they both started beating her. Norris started driving after that. Instead of driving to the mountains, where they usually tortured and murdered their victims, Bittaker immediatly turned on the tape recorder and started beating the girl. At the beginning of the tape, the (Sounds) are Bittaker slapping her. Then towards the middle the (Sounds) are Larry using the pliers on her nipples (Larry earned the nickname “Pliers” from his desire to twist girls nipples off with his pliers). Towards the end, the (Sounds) are Norris beating her over and over, 25 times total, with a hammer, while he chants “Keep it up, girl! Keep it up till I say stop!” Soon after the tape ends, Bittaker pulled over and they took a coat hanger and wrapped it around Shirley’s neck, twisting it as tight as they could with the pliers until she was dead. Bittaker thought it would be funny to drop the body off on a strangers front lawn, so they picked a random yard in Hermosa Beach and left her dead body laying in the bushes. The body was found the next morning.

This is the transcript of the tape they recorded:
