Its goals are to support victims' families, prevent future violence, and help loved ones navigate the system as they seek justice. They work to help cases like Shawna's get the attention they deserve. And Dee was right. Shauna's case wasn't properly investigated because detectives didn't have the time or resources. 1993 was Charlotte's most violent year yet.

129 people were murdered, with only a handful of homicide investigators in town. Individual murders did not get proper attention, much less serial killer theories. Even if the Charlotte police had listened to Dee and had resources to follow through, they would have had a hard time catching Henry Lewis Wallace.

While hiding in plain sight, he made significant efforts to cover up his next few crimes. That summer, he targeted Audrey Spain. Audrey was another Taco Bell friend. She and Henry often played tennis. Henry sexually assaulted and strangled her. Perhaps since Audrey lived alone, he left her body in her apartment, then walked out with her keys.

She and Henry often played tennis. Henry sexually assaulted and strangled her. Perhaps since Audrey lived alone, he left her body in her apartment, then walked out with her keys.

Over the ensuing days, he returned to the crime scene and used the phone, so it would appear that Audrey was still alive and making calls. He also stole and used her credit card. Later that summer, Henry murdered his sister's friend, Valencia Jumper. Before leaving, he splashed her body with rum and put a can of beans on the stove.

He cooked it until it caught fire, then left the apartment in flames. His plan was to make it look like Valencia died in a kitchen fire after a night of drinking, and he pulled it off. Initial investigators didn't suspect homicide. A month later, Henry killed his friend Michelle Stinson.

After he strangled her, he stabbed her four times, to the point where the coroner listed stabbing as the main cause of death. In each crime, Henry took care cleaning up, so he didn't leave behind any DNA evidence or fingerprints. Sometimes he'd even force his victims to shower after he assaulted them, but before he strangled them.

So even though they were all killed in the same way, by the same man, the five crime scenes appear different on the surface. Unconnected. Famed former FBI profiler Robert Ressler interviewed Henry later on and described him as, quote, all over the place. Ressler pointed out that the most baffling part of his story was that he killed women he was friends with.

It was the same lead Dee had pointed out in her daughter Shauna's case. There was a pattern, but it wasn't one investigators were looking for. One of the officers on the case later said Henry, quote, does not fit any known profile of serial killers. As he said, the majority of serial killers are white, middle class, and target strangers. Henry was black, working class, and preyed on his friends.

So police didn't realize they were hunting a serial killer. And even if they had, they wouldn't have looked for Henry. He slipped through the cracks. For about two years, good Henry kept bad Henry under wraps until his life went south. Through 1993, Henry struggled with drug addiction. He got evicted from his apartment. And in early 1994, his girlfriend, Sadie, left him.

Henry's friends noticed a drastic change in his appearance. He was typically clean-shaven and well-dressed, but now he looked dirty and unkempt. It was clear to everyone that Henry wasn't getting much sleep. He seemed exhausted much of the time. When he did sleep, it was often in his old apartment. He began breaking into it at night. Good Henry had hit rock bottom and bad Henry fully took over.
