Tidewater area was home to a huge military footprint and thus DoD contractors

were all over the place like ants at a picnic and had been for a long time.

 

So how had the killer gone about hunting for them?

 

And why Williamsburg?

 

Was it because the killer was from there? Or because he had migrated there from

some other place?

 

Puller looked at the background sheets on each of the victims. He read through

the bios of the slain women.

 

An engineer, a biologist, a chemist, and a computer programmer.

 

Where they had worked had been redacted from the files. Puller shook his head.

That was unheard of. How could the police establish a connection if they had no

idea where the women worked?

 

However, it had been determined that they didn’t shop or eat at the same places.

They didn’t live in the same buildings. They didn’t get their cars repaired at

the same shops. Two banked at the same bank, but that was all. This was before

the era of smartphones and email, but hardline records showed no contact among

any of the women.
