Born in 1956 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mansfield Jr.’s life was plagued by a troubled upbringing. Growing up in the shadow of his father, a convicted child molester who encouraged violence between his sons, Mansfield Jr. encountered numerous challenges. He dropped out of school at the age of 14 and resorted to altering his birth certificate to join the Army. However, his time in the military was tainted by addiction, as he succumbed to the vices of alcohol and drugs.

Mansfield Jr. was married to Phyllis Spielmaker, and together they had two children. Behind closed doors, their relationship was tainted by Mansfield Jr.’s violent tendencies when under the influence of alcohol. His clandestine bisexual desires led him to bring men from gay bars to engage in sexual activities, often in front of his wife.

Between 1975 and 1980, Mansfield Jr. embarked on a harrowing spree of murders. To conceal his heinous acts, he buried the bodies of four victims in the family home located in Spring Hill, Florida. Escaping to California with his brother, he went on to commit another crime – the rape and strangulation of a woman in Watsonville. Mansfield Jr. faced a conviction for this particular murder, resulting in a sentence of 25 years to life.

In an effort to evade the death penalty in Florida, Mansfield Jr. pleaded guilty to the previous murders, ultimately receiving four life sentences. While awaiting a new trial for the murder of one of the victims found buried on his property, he was again convicted, thanks to the compelling testimonies of his brother and another witness.

Throughout his criminal endeavors, Mansfield Jr. made multiple attempts to escape from prison but rejected offers of freedom during a prison break attempt. Presently, he remains incarcerated at the California Health Care Facility located in Stockton, California.
