William F. "Billy" Gohl was known as "The Ghoul of Grays Harbor". Police linked him with the murders and robberies of 40 men between 1902 and 1910; the total number of his victims may have been as high as 200. As local agent for the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, Gohl gained the trust of many of his victims, who were sailors calling at the ports on Grays Harbor.
