Serial killer Edmund Kemper murdered his final victims, his mother and her friend, on April 20, 1973.

Kemper, notorious for the vile nature of his crimes and his 206cm height, would target young women hitchhiking in Santa Cruz County, California.

Kemper had murdered his grandparents when he was 15, but was released upon his 21st birthday against the wishes of psychiatrists.

To play the role, the producers cast Neil Connery, a plasterer with no acting experience.

But they noted Connery looked and sounded like his brother.

Yet when the film was released, Connery's voice was dubbed by an American actor.
