What do these three women have in common? Three shadowy patterns of attack. Three knotted loops
that bind them together. Strangers to one another
in life, they became sisters in death. Each coming to the same horror-filled
moment of murder by strangulation by a killer who came quietly,
who is careful in his derangement, and self-possessed enough
to lock the door on his way out. - [knocking]
- [neighbor] Hey, you okay in there?
