I-5 Killer aka Woodfield, Randall Brent (b. December 26, 1950) was a professional football player for the Green Bay Packers in 1974 who was cut from the team after several arrests for indecent exposure. Woodfield was also a serial killer who may have murdered as many as 44 people during the period between October 9, 1980 and February 15, 1981 in Washington, Oregon, and California.

Born into an upper-middle-class family, Woodfield began displaying sexually dysfunctional behavior during junior high school, especially exposing himself. He was arrested during his high school years for indecent exposure, and his parents forced him to attend therapy, his football coaches concealed the incident, and he continued to play football for the school. When he graduated high school, his juvenile criminal record was expunged.

After being cut from the Green Bay Packers football team, he began a series of robberies and sexual assaults at knifepoint in Portland, Oregon. During 1980 and 1981, Woodfield committed murders down the coast in Washington, Oregon, and California.

The first known murder was on October 9, 1980, of Cherie Ayers, a woman he had known since grade school. Woodfield raped and murdered her in her apartment on SW Ninth Place in downtown Portland. Her body was discovered by her fiancé on October 11. Knowing that Woodfield and Cherie had kept in touch by letters, Ayers family told authorities that they should check out Randy Woodfield. He was interviewed but refused to take a polygraph test.

On November 27, 1980, Woodfield went to the north Portland home of Darcey Renee Fix whom he had known in college and who was the girlfriend of Douglas Keith Altig, whom he also had known from college. Doug was at the apartment with Darcey. When they were found, they were both bound and had been shot execution-style. Darcey’s 32-caliber revolver was missing. Due to Woodfield’s acquaintance with Darcey, Woodfield was interviewed but police did not have any concrete evidence against him, so he was free to go.

Woodfield continued his trips on I-5 committing robberies and murders as he traveled—on January 8, he robbed the Vancouver, Washington, gas station that he had robbed in December, plus he made the female attendant expose her breasts; January 11, he robbed a market in Eugene, Oregon; January 12, he shot and wounded a female clerk at a grocery in Sutherlin, Oregon; January 14, he invaded a home and forced the two girls to take off all of their clothes and then sexually assaulted them; January 18, he entered an office building in Salem, Oregon, sexually assaulted and murdered Shari Hull, sexually assaulted Beth Wilmot and attempted to murder her, but failed.

During the following week, the killer committed robberies in Eugene, Medford, and Grants Pass, Oregon. In Grants Pass, Woodfield assaulted a customer and a clerk.

In Mountain Gate, California, the bodies of Donna Eckard and her daughter, age 14, were found in their home on February 3, 1981. Both had been shot several times in the head and sodomized.

Also on February 3, in Redding, California, a female clerk was kidnapped from the store where she worked.
