But, it seems to me that So Cal (and Nor Cal) has had more than it's share of very high-profile serial killers who did not target those types of victims exclusively, if at all.
Zodiac
Night Stalker - Richard Ramirez
Hillside Stranglers
Freeway Killer - William Bonin
Charles Ng / Leonard Lake
etc...
IDK, maybe it's just because they hunted in my backyard (and I'm more familiar with them) that it seems like we've had so many that can't be explained solely by the victim type. I'll keep reading...
California
Bittaker & Norris
Randy Kraft
Patrick Kearny
Juan Corona
Rodney Alcala
Edmund Emil Kemper III
Wayne Adam Ford
Chester Turner
Herbert Mullin
Gordon Northcott
Daniel Lee Siebert
Mack Ray Edwards
Gerald Parker
Off the top of my head.
