He is confirmed to have tortured and killed at least two couples in Illinois and Texas in 1989 and 1990, and is additionally suspected of torturing, raping, and killing more than fifty women between 1975 and 1990, based on data about his truck routes and women who went missing during those years and who met the profile of his preferred victims. He was also arrested two times for different reasons before even being an adult. At the time he was caught, Rhoades claimed to have engaged in these activities for fifteen years."
