In just a few moments, April will meet with the cold case unit about her sister, Heidi Martin. Heidi was murdered when she was only 16, back in 1984. And April is here to urge the police to look into her father, Barry Martin. There's a lot at stake for her. Deep breaths, April.

April dabs her eyes with a Dunkin' Donuts napkin. Jane and I fall into step behind her as she enters the police station. Five men in ill-fitting suits greet us in the lobby.

It's a misnomer, though, because the Connecticut River Valley is an arbitrary border law enforcement drew around the crimes of this person, as if this man knew boundaries. And in New England from 1960 until now, he's a question raised in every case concerning a missing or murdered woman.

His murders may have spanned decades and regions and demographics, and it's hard to encapsulate the story when it has no definite ending or beginning. He'll start to justify a time traveler. Sometimes I think he's like this immortal reaper, cutting down women through time and space. But when I get too esoteric about it, I remind myself of the fact.
