In 1957 in El Segundo , Mason bound, blindfolded, and stripped four teenagers before Raping one of the girls (named Chris Kyper), and robbing all of them, at gunpoint. After leaving the scene in their car, he stopped at a red light but then went through it anyway, and was stopped by police officers Richard Phillips and Milton Curtis. He fled after killing them both. For the next forty-five years, Mason was a law-abiding citizen, never getting so much as a parking ticket. He bought a chain of service stations and became Wealth y, married and raised a family, and was described by friends and neighbors as friendly and helpful. Mason was not arrested until 2003 . The case against him relied on matching a Fingerprint and handwriting. Mason was also identified by a bullet wound scar on his back. It had been one of the oldest unsolved murder cases in United States history. He used an Alias while going on vacation in the south. Mason pled guilty and was sentenced to Life In Prison . At his sentencing hearing, he tearfully apologized to the victim's families and said he had committed his crimes while under the influence of alcohol. He will be eligible for Parole in 2017 .
