It all began in the early 1980's – one-by-one prostitutes began disappearing. In total, more than 30 prostitutes have disappeared, and police aren't sure who is responsible. Police have no crime scenes and no bodies. But, they do have a clue. Police want to talk to an anonymous caller who left a message on a toll free hot line in July 1998. In the recording, the caller warns police and the friends of victims to "stop searching because Sarah (one of the victims) is dead." The caller also said that prostitutes will keep being killed, "one every Friday night." Police say the call may be a hoax, and there is nothing backing up the Friday night murder claim.

Local Eastside residence and the prostitutes left on the streets are also looking out for a mysterious brown van, they claim, prowls the area on weekends. They say the driver of the van may hold clues to solving this case.
