So the police start looking into both of these deaths. voice-verified

And then, a month and a half later, a canine team finds a couple more bodies, not far from the first two. voice-verified

These belong to Desiree Wheatley and Dawn Smith, both middle school-age girls. voice-verified

A few weeks later, a fifth body, Angelica Frausto, 17. voice-verified

And then, in the same area of desert, they find 23-year-old Ivy Williams. voice-verified

So now, Johnny has six victims in a matter of a few months. voice-verified

Deserts don't preserve much, so finding evidence in cases like these can be especially difficult. voice-verified

Mostly, police are finding skeletons out there. voice-verified

But as Johnny investigates, clues start coming in from a surprising source. voice-verified

Middle school kids. voice-verified

They were all friends with one of the victims. voice-verified

El Paso is majority Hispanic, so this detail, a white guy, stood out to Johnny. voice-verified

The kids say this guy was always around. voice-verified

In old tapes from this investigation, you hear this name come up a lot. voice-verified

Skeeter. voice-verified

Of course, we run his name. voice-verified

The mechanics of how Skeeter and David Wood get linked are hazy. voice-verified

In the recordings I listened to, most of the kids had no idea who Skeeter was. voice-verified

And the ones who say Skeeter was David Wood, it's not clear if they put that together themselves or if they were repeating the connection that the cops made. voice-verified

In any case, when Johnny learns more about David Wood's criminal record, he discovers a rap sheet that's long and egregious. voice-verified
