It was written about Randy Woodfield's life and crimes, prompting him to file a libel suit which was later dismissed.

In 1984, so three years after he was sentenced, the famous crime author Ann Rule wrote a true crime novel about him called The I-5 Killer.

And it's all about Randy's life and his crimes, but considering Randy was maintaining his innocence, he filed a $12 million libel suit,

which essentially means that Ann was supposedly spreading lies about him in this book and it was hurting his reputation.

But the suit was dismissed by the federal court.

But if you're interested in learning more about it, I definitely recommend reading that book, The I-5 Killer by Ann Rule.
