An old story, but here is a recent interview of the sole survivor.

http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...ller-1980-90

The common link between most of the murders was coins. A killer, a beguiling character who talked a lot, would go to a coin shop, often many times, pretending to be a customer, but in fact stalking his victims. The victims would get used to seeing him. Then one day he would return, usually near closing time, rob and shoot to kill with a small-caliber weapon--always in the head.

Number of victims-Unknown

Too bad Sinclair chickened out and offed himself while in jail in Alaska. I would have liked to see him face his victims families and then slowly rot away in prison while awaiting execution. He took the easy way out.

Wow. I guess that was a pretty effective scheme in the pre security camera days
