Her children lived with her mother in Ferguson, Missouri, which was six miles from Baden, where Brenda lived with her boyfriend.

And while police claimed that

that she was a sex worker because remember the police are the ones seeing these women being like sex worker sex worker like that must have been a sex worker her family actually came forward and said she was not a sex worker she worked a full-time job at hardy's which was a fast food restaurant near the stroll which again the stroll is where everyone is walking up and down doing sex work but brenda herself worked at the hardy's that was located on this strip

Now Brenda had to walk a lot of places because she didn't have a car, which is what she was doing out around midnight on Sunday, October 7th.

She was walking home along that long strip of road where men would cruise around looking for sex workers.

Now Brenda had been drinking for several hours.

She was planning just to head home and call it a night.

She couldn't really afford to miss any work.

She really needed the money for her daughter's 10th birthday that week.

But instead, sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning, she got picked up by someone.

And that person was the killer because her family never saw her alive again.

By mid-October 2001, the bodies were adding up and no one could ignore the fact that something horrible was happening.

6.

Plus, there was another victim, 61-year-old Mary Shields, but police, it seems like they were on the fence as to whether or not she was another potential victim.

I mean, her body was found 10 months before Elisa's on July 31st, 2000.

Now, police believed that she was most likely part of the murders that we've been talking about, the Teresa and Elisa group of murders, rather than those four others from East St.

Louis, just based on the details of those other women being found in pairs and in trash bags.

See, that doesn't, like, do it for me, though.

Yeah.

And I'm curious, too, if they were, like, looking for another serial killer at the same time.
