Synopsis

Over a three-decade span, more than twenty women—many teenagers—died mysteriously in the small towns bordering Interstate 45, a fifty-mile stretch of highway running from Houston to Galveston. The victims were strangled, shot, or savagely beaten.

The day she vanished, Colette Wilson waited for her mother after band practice. Best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson loved to surf and were last seen hitchhiking. Laura Kate Smither dreamed of becoming a ballerina and disappeared just weeks before her thirteenth birthday.

In this harrowing true crime exposition, award-winning journalist Kathryn Casey tracks these tragic cases, investigates the evidence, interviews the suspects, and pulls back the cloak of secrecy in search of elusive answers.

Goodreads review by Noctvrnal on January 18, 2023

Wonderful coverage on I-45 and Texas Killing Fields murders though at times it felt really disjointed. Paragraphs jumped over each other and sometimes it was hard to keep pace with the author, especially with lots and lots of names involved in each case Kathryn covers in this book. Nonetheless - I c......more

Goodreads review by Amanda on April 24, 2015

I was glued to this book. The biggest attraction to this book for me is I grew up west of Houston and many times saw these stories unfold on the news. My Dad and I always discussed these random disappearances and I was not allowed to travel to Galveston, or anywhere near 1-45 between Houston and Gal......more

I read it in one day so it must not have been to bad. Covers 3 decades of a strip of I-45 between Houston and Galveston, Texas. The book covers multiple series of killings with different perpetrators(or suspects). I kinda liked the multiple cases instead of half a book of court proceedings. There is......more
