So on August 25th, 2001, less than two months after Roney's murder, another body was found in a patch of weeds in East St.

Louis, Illinois.

This time, it was a 50-year-old woman named Yvonne Cruz.

She was also believed by officers to be a sex worker.

She also had cocaine in her system at the time of her death.

And Yvonne lived with her mother, who last saw her leaving their house in St.

Louis, Missouri, the day before she was found.

Now, Yvonne also had ligature marks on her wrists suggesting that she had been bound before she was killed, similar to that of the other victims.

She also had scrapes on her knees and she had either been smothered or strangled.

they had something right it's just so unfortunate to see that they weren't able to really track anyone down at this point because it does not take very long for the killer to strike again after these crimes on october 8th 2001 six weeks after yvonne was murdered 33 year old brenda beasley was found dead in east st louis just two miles away from where yvonne's body was found

Her eyes and her arms were bound with tape.

She had been struck in the head and she had been suffocated.

She was found wearing just her jeans, which were pulled down around her ankles.

Brenda also had some similarities to the other victims.

She was a sex worker.

She also struggled with a cocaine addiction.

But two days after her murder, on October 10th, her family actually came forward and shared a more intimate version of Brenda with the St.

Louis Post-Dispatch.

So luckily, we do have more information on Brenda other than just the circumstances that surrounded the way that she died.

Her family said that she was a mother of four.
