Reminds one of the Dateline stories about women who were approached by Ted Bundy, who gave them one of his stories about having lost a dog, or a broken down car - and yet avoided his trap.
I’ve heard serial killers go after prostitutes, because it is far less likely that anyone will report them as being a missing person.
Not so crazy when the police chief and the da refused to investigate but told Shannon’s mother they were doing all they could and were found later to be crooks.

I keep wondering if Shannon Gilbert who went to that ‘party’ May 1 2010 was caught by a killer, that she never went through the weeds which were stickers and mud, where they claimed she sank in the mud and on December 2011, Gilbert’s jeans, shoes, and purse were found on completely opoosite side of the marsh by Oak Beach, near where she was last seen. A week later, her skeletal remains were located, facedown in the marsh, on the other side by the road out.
