In 2014, Relisha Rudd vanished from a Washington, D.C. family shelter. The only adult who claimed to know where she was turned out not to be a doctor, but a shelter janitor. Days later, his wife was found murdered. Weeks later, he was found dead...

She was days away from a major race. A rising star in cycling. Then, she was found shot to death in a friend’s apartment. At first, nothing made sense:No forced entry. No robbery. No clear suspect.

As the list of missing women grew, anonymous tips, witness statements, a...
