People That You Meet
Officials think there may be a serial killer 'round here.
Law officers are investigating whether the deaths of ten women in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Mississippi are linked to a serial killer.
Police say they believe the killer as [sic] a long-haul truck driver preying on women around truck stops.
Now you might think that you're not at risk because you're not a drug-using truckstop prostitute, as most of these victims were. But remember that not all of them were.
Most truckers in my experience are the nicest fellers you'd ever want to meet when you're broke down in the middle of the night. They'd give you the shirt off of their backs if you needed it.
Apparently this one ain't. Let's all be a little more careful out there.

Don't you love when one group of people ends up singled out? Makes it so much easier for killers when everyone's looking the other way.

There have been cross-country truckers identified as serial killers, and some of them have indeed preyed on lot-lizards. Be that as it may, I do hope that the police are looking at other people who get around, and at other killings in each locale.
