ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. - They spent their nights jumping in and out of strange cars, trolling otherwise empty streets lined with decaying storefronts and boarded-up homes. Many sold sex to support drug habits or children left in the care of worried, hardworking grandmothers.

Even when they were picked up for drugs or prostitution, nights in jail looming, they called home to let their families know they were OK. Then, one by one, the calls stopped.

Since 2005, nine women who lived at the edges of the poor community in this small North Carolina city have disappeared. Six bodies were found along rural roads just a few miles outside town, most so decomposed that investigators could not tell how they died. At least one of the women was strangled, and all the deaths have been classified as homicides. Three women are still missing.

3. How can we get more users?

One issue we have here is that TC is more informational, and not discussional, to wit: you post some info and folks read it. They do not, necessarily, need to argue over it, like they do in the gun dungeon, science, skepticism, etc. fora.

Which might be a GOOD thing, actually.

4. I saw a brief blurb about this on TV

on MSNBC recently. It looks like another sort of 'green river killer' sort of serial killer. I wonder if they have any clues to the killer's identity?
