Subtitle: Three Decades of Murder and Redemption in the Infamous I-45/Texas Killing Fields
Over three decades more than 20 bodies of murdered young women have been found along Interstate 45, the corridor that runs south of Houston into Galveston. In just a 50 mile stretch--a patch of highway dotted by small towns through the jurisdiction of eleven different law enforcement agencies-an epidemic has arisen. The dead share a common bond: all were young women, many teenagers, and victims of chance. If they'd taken another road, refused to accept an offer of a ride, or called in sick to work on the days they died, they would likely still be alive. Most if not all would have gone on with their lives, unaware that one choice could have brought them face-to-face with stark terror. By now, they could be mothers with children, some even grandchildren. Instead, their faces and their stories haunt this slice of Texas.
In DELIVER US Kathryn Casey tracks the tragic cases of these young women in search of answers we may never discover.
