Juan Vallejo Corona

CORONA, a Mexican labor contractor in Northern California, was charged with hacking twenty-five men to death. His handiwork was uncovered in 1971 in a peach orchard near his home. Most of the victims were drunken transients and migrant workers who no one missed.

The killings bore signs of homosexual assaults, which lead people to believe that the killer could be Juan’s openly gay brother.
CORONA, a burly father of four, was linked to the murders through a couple of receipts found in the clothing of two of the dead. While in prison, Juan lost an eye when he was attacked by four inmates.
