Wilbur Lee Jennings (1940 – February 11, 2014), known as The Ditchbank Murderer, was an American serial killer who killed at least six girls and women in Fresno and Sacramento, California between 1981 and 1984.

The main evidentiary basis for the prosecution's case were the numerous objects identified by victims' family members, chiefly the baseball bat and pipe with blood stains on them, which, according to investigators, were the likely murder weapons.

Wilbur himself maintained his innocence throughout the whole process, accusing the prosecutor of putting pressure on witnesses and forcing them to give false testimony.

[1] After his conviction, Jennings was transferred to the death row in San Quentin State Prison, where he spent the subsequent years of his life.

[4] Ultimately, the criminal case for Chandler began in late 2013, leading Wilbur Jennings to be transferred out of San Quentin State Prison to the Sacramento County Jail, where he died on February 11, 2014, aged 73, due to complications from his diseases.
