Summary
Over a three-decade span, more than twenty women-many teenagers-died mysteriously in the small towns bordering Interstate 45, a fifty-mile stretch of highway running from Houston to Galveston. The victims were strangled, shot, or savagely beaten.


The day she vanished, Colette Wilson waited for her mother after band practice. Best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson loved to surf and were last seen hitchhiking. Laura Kate Smither dreamed of becoming a ballerina and disappeared just weeks before her thirteenth birthday.


In this harrowing true crime exposition, award-winning journalist Kathryn Casey tracks these tragic cases, investigates the evidence, interviews the suspects, and pulls back the cloak of secrecy in search of elusive answers.

Another excellent book from Casey, here recounting the puzzling and horrifying strings of murders that took dozens of lives along a lonely stretch of highway in Texas. For decades, young girls have gone missing, their bodies turning up in abandoned fields near the infamous freeway. Even today, even after several arrests, huge questions loom about who was responsible for some of them. Casey has done her homework and as always, she delves deep into the culture and the lives of these young girls, telling us not only that they died, but who they were, who their families were, what was lost with their death. She interviews the people who investigated the crimes, the ones who may have committed them, and many more. An excellent, if sorrowful read.
