That's insane.

It's insane.

And we have here that 75% of those murders went unsolved.

Wow.

I was reading something recently, too, that said that one of the reasons for high crime rates can be unsolved murder rates.

Like, if you live in an area where the unsolved murder rate is really high...

I mean, think about it.

People just feel like they can get away with murder.

So it's going to happen a lot more.

And so, yeah, unfortunately, that was just the reality of the time.

Now, between February and May in 2000, the year before Teresa died, four sex workers that were all black women in their 30s were found dead in East St.

Louis and they were dumped in a weed covered field near a railroad bridge.

Police felt confident back then when they found those bodies that those four East St.

Louis murders were all committed by the same person.

But when they found Teresa's body, they did not think it was done by the same person.

Her murder, at least to them, felt like it was this isolated case.

But after they spoke to the Illinois State Police, they learned about another victim who had died about six weeks before Teresa's body was found.

And her case and that case had a lot of similarities.

In March of 2001, 33-year-old Elisa Greenwade was a sex worker who, like Teresa, also struggled with a cocaine addiction.

And also, like Teresa, she worked on the stroll in Baden, and she had recently lost custody of her two children.
