Quantum Leap sometimes drew inspiration from real-world events for their episodes, and Killin’ Time is no exception.Leon Stiles, the serial killer in this episode, is possibly based off of Christopher Wilder, who went on a killing spree through Texas and Oklahoma, plus other states, in early 1984. While Wilder targeted beauty queens (prostitutes are a common target for serial killers, e. g., Jack the Ripper), he and Stiles both abducted and killed young women. Both Wilder and Stiles (at least, in the original history) both died in a confrontation with police. -- source link
