Louis called Black Bridge.

Also, Teresa and Elisa were both found in roadside ditches, appeared to have been strangled.

Like, they had a very similar MO.

So police were confident that they were not connected.

They actually thought they're dealing with something even scarier, which is a new second serial killer in the area.

And soon they would get even more evidence for that theory.

Something else noted on Betty's body, though, was a tire track.

And you guys are like, a tire track on her body?

Yeah, you guys.

Her leg had been run over from her ankle to the middle of her calf, which brings us to our third clue, another tire track.

Investigators thought that maybe the killer after dumping Betty's body had accidentally ran her over.

And police immediately wondered, is this the same vehicle from Elisa's crime scene?

We have the Potenza tire track.

However, when they compared the tire print from Betty's leg, they determined that it came from a Goodrich Advantage tire, not a Bridgestone Potenza.

which doesn't immediately rule out that it is the same person.

It could mean that they drove a different vehicle or changed tires, but it was going to take a lot more to identify a suspect.

But at this point, police do believe that the person who killed Elisa Greenwade also killed Teresa Wilson and Betty James.

I know it's hard, but like that's like literally all they really knew at this point.

Right.

Kind of grasping at straws.
