Marie Lilienberg och Maria Wahlen Kalifornien 1983

In my opinion, Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine are the men that murdered the Swedish hitchhikers Marie Lilienberg and Marie Wahlen in 1983. The “Speed Freak Killers” lived outside of Stockton – a direct line to Interstate 5 – and a likely place for hitchhikers to pick up a ride to LA or SF.

From San Quentin death row Wesley Shermantine gave clues and a map that lead to a search for long-lost murder victims. San Joaquin Sheriff's Office heading up the search for human remains dredged from an old well in Linden, CA and unearthed 1,000 bone fragments in a mass grave Shermantine calls "Herzog's Boneyard". Herzog committed suicide in January 2012 after learning his partner in crime was planning to reveal the locations of these serial killers victims. The killings spanned two decades-80's and 90's-and two states, California and Utah. I believe Marie Wahlen and Marie Lilienberg fell victim to the "Speed Freak Killers" in the 1980's.

Real Name: Marie Lilienberg and Maria Wahien
Nicknames: No Known Nicknames
Location: Redwood City, California
Date: July 22, 1983

Details: Marie Lilienberg and Maria Wahien were two Swedish maids who went hitchiking throughout California during the Summer of 1983. They were last seen alive on July 22, while hitchiking near Redwood City. Two days later, their backpacks, passports, and other items were found in a dumpster in the City of Commerce. Four weeks later, two deer hunters found their brutally murdered bodies in the woods near Santa Barbara, California.
Suspects: In 1991, an anonomyous caller told authorities that a man named "Loren" was responsible for the murders. The caller told that he was from Canada and that he apparently hated women. He also drove from Canada to Mexico during the summer in a white van. He was over 6'0", slight build, 170 pounds, and red hair.
Extra Notes: This segment originally aired on the April 8, 1992 episode of Unsolved Mysteries .
Results: Unresolved. The anonomyous caller later came forward and helped police locate the man named "Loren". However, there was not enough substantial evidence to convict him for the crimes. "Loren" was later arrested and convicted in other crimes, but has never been charged with the murders.
"Loren" is believed to be Loren Joseph Herzog. He and Wesley Shermantine were dubbed the "Speed Freak Killers." Herzog died of suicide on January 16, 2012, and Shermantine is currently on death row. This duo is suspected of the murders of at least 15 people. http://earonsgsk.proboards.com/thread/1600/set-20
