Ronald Lee White is a historical serial killer who committed numerous murders in the late 1980s. He was born in Colorado and his crimes took place in the Pueblo area.

After killing his victims, he would dismember their bodies and leave the horrific evidence for police to find. His first victim was Paul Vosika, who he killed with a gunshot to the back of the head. 

He then cut up Vosika’s body and dispersed the pieces at different locations. Police eventually found all of Vosika’s body parts and were able to identify him as the killer.

Ron Lee was arrested and sentenced to life in prison, where he remains today. His gruesome crimes terrorized the people of Colorado and serve as a reminder of the horror that can be inflicted by a single individual.

In March 1988, he killed his two other victims, Raymond Garcia and Robert Martinez did the same with all his other victims. Lee was shot in the back by Raymond Garcia. He killed his two other victims in his hometown, and after killing them, Lee used to cut their body parts and disassembled them. 

Later a farmer in Colorado city called 911 to report after they found their body. Police quickly reached the scene, but they found decomposing human torsos and no hands and heads with their bodies.

The victim – Victor Lee Woods

Victor Lee Woods was his first victim. In January 1988, Lee met his victim at a Colorado Springs bar for the first time. A few hours later, a brutal fight was held between them after they went to Victor’s home. 

Victor was drunk, and he was not in the condition to drive his car. He asked Ronald Lee, can you drive my car and drop me at home? Lee agreed to drop him.

They enjoyed and talked continuously on the way to Victor’s house. Later they arrived at his home location, and Victor invited Lee to come inside the house. 

Everything seemed fine between them but just because the victim was drunk, his mood changed suddenly, and he tried to make sexual advances toward his guest. But Ronald Lee was not ready to do it, and he insisted that he wasn’t interested.

Later, Victor took a knife and threatened him. During their fight, Lee killed his friend Victor. After his murder, Lee wrapped his body around Newspapers and burned the whole house.

Police then investigated the entire case, and around 2 or 3 witnesses stated to the investigator, “We saw the men arguing and someone leaving in a muscle car.” Still, the police had not found any clue against the murderer at that time. 

How was Ronald arrested? 

On May 13th, 1987, Ronald Lee was arrested for the murder of four people in Colorado.

The police had found evidence and clues that led them to Ronald, who confessed to the murders when he was apprehended. He told the authorities that he had killed Raymond in Pueblo, Hisoka, and Victor Lee Woods, a bicycle repairman from Colorado Springs. 

He also confessed to dismembering the bodies of his victims. Ronald’s jury heard his confession and sentenced him to life in prison instead of giving him the death penalty. 

In the years since his arrest, Ronald has made additional horrifying confessions that have led authorities to suspect that he may have committed other killings.

As a result, he is widely recognized as the area’s deadliest killer in decades. Ronald is currently still living out his life sentence in prison.
