He had a DVD in his truck of the 2002 horror film Hunting Humans, about a serial killer who stalks his victims before killing them with a knife.
[1] He also carried two large hunting knives, choke wire, and a leather mask with the eyes and mouth cut out.
[5][1] His first known victim was 42-year-old Darlene Ewalt, who was attacked in her home in suburban West Hanover Township, Dauphin County, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
[4] Lane's second victim was a woman named Patricia Brooks, whom he stabbed on July 17, 2007, in Conewago Township, in rural York County, Pennsylvania, as she was sleeping on her couch.
Clad entirely in black and wearing a mask and gloves, Lane broke into a house and attacked 15-year-old Shea McDonough with a 15-inch hunting knife.
Chelmsford Police were summoned and arrested Lane at the scene, where he was being held in a wrestling headlock by Kevin McDonough.
[5][7][3] While Lane's extensive trucking routes led some in law enforcement to speculate that he was responsible for additional murders in other parts of the country, this has not been proven.
