Prostitute Murders - Florida
While L.A.'s "Southside Slayer" was engaged in hunting down black prostitutes and strangling or stabbing them to death, a similar phenomenon was noted in Miami and Dade County, Florida. From early 1983 through August 1986, an estimated fifteen women - young and black, including mostly prostitutes and addicts - were dispatched in an area between Miami's Northwest 103rd Street and Northwest 29th, bounded on the west by Northwest 7th Avenue, and on the east by 37th Avenue. As police spokesmen summed up the case, "Several of them were known to associate at places where narcotics are used. Several of them are believed to be prostitutes." On a single weekend in January 1986, the killer left two victims for police, dumping 16-year-old Joyce Hamilton in a vacant lot, while 30-year-old Faye Joiner was tossed into a canal. By the time victim number fifteen - another known prostitute - was discovered on August 12, 1986, city and county officers had announced plans to cooperate on their investigations of the crime wave. Thus far, their combined efforts have yielded no viable suspects, no evidence sufficient to support indictments. This
case and hundreds more, plus over 80 minutes of video (including documentaries
and interviews with both killers and experts), artwork, hundreds of photographs,
an interactive mapping system, and the text of four complete books is
included in the award-winning CD-ROM.Find out About Mind of a Killer CD-ROM, and Order your copy today! ![]() Pherone.com is an excellent source for pheromones. |
