I don’t think he strings together more than one or two victims without getting caught if there were cell phones and video cameras everywhere like today. Throw in DNA forensics, and it’s basically impossible.
Rural areas and especially places like national parks are still possible hunting grounds. In fact I often wonder if some of the folks that go missing each year in those parks (and its in the hundreds ) arent prey to serial killers.

There is also the possibility of hiding in plain sight.
Typically 100+ murders in BR annually and more missing persons which don’t necessarily result in a body.
Part of why Lee and Gillis could operate so long was that the murder rate was so high those killings got lost in the shuffle.

Randall Lee Smith was finally caught around 2008 after killing 2 and attempting to murder two other people on the Appalachian trail between 1981 and 2008. He was finally caught because well, he was kind of an idiot, and tried to kill two guys who fought back and managed to get the authorities in time after a wild arse chase through the woods.
Even with DNA evidence and updated forensics it took him trying to bite off more than he could chew before he got caught.
