Gynocide: violence against women in prostitution in Las Vegas
Here's a pretty old post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 16 years ago, in 2008, on the World Wide Web.
LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police said there may be more victims in a string of slayings of Las Vegas prostitutes whose bodies were found along highways.
Police Detective Larry Hanna is asking police in other areas to check for cases similar to those of four young women with ties to Las Vegas.
The body parts of three of the women have been found off of highways in Las Vegas, California and Illinois, and a fourth woman who matches the descriptions of the others is missing.
Hanna said the women could have been slain by the same person, possibly a truck driver, because of the proximity of the women to major highways.

How do you keep following this stuff day after day? I wonder that about myself sometimes, but I like to be informed too.
It just seems so constantly disheartening. It takes quite a toll on a wonderfully in tune sensitive person like Arthur Silber.
