Starting in the early 70s the bodies of various girls and young women would be recovered from a 25-acre patch of land dubbed The Texas Killing Field, including a particularly desolate section of highway, I-45. Both lone victims and pairs of friends vanishing. Some never recovered at all. Today, 33 and counting.
