description: "Keith Hunter Jesperson is an American-Canadian serial killer known as the Happy Face Killer. He worked as a truck driver and murdered at least eight women between January 1990 and March 1995, later mailing many taunting letters to the media and authorities that he marked with smiley faces. Many of Jesperson's victims were sex workers and transients, whom he preferred to kill via strangulation."
