Suspecting that they were victims of serial killers operating under the cover of the opioid epidemic in America's heartland, Jensen delves deep into the investigations, uncovering a disturbing truth.

The facts are not confined to old police reports and faded photos; they unfold vividly on the page, captivating readers.

Our story begins in 2017, when two young women, Danielle and Lindsey, go missing in Columbus, Ohio, within weeks of each other, and their bodies are found soon thereafter. As Jensen investigates these cases, he uncovers a staggering eighteen unsolved cases of missing and murdered women. Shockingly, no one was talking about this alarming trend. These women were not raised in the streets; they became addicted to pills, which were taken away, leading them to turn to heroin. When the money ran out, they were forced to sell themselves, a tragic reality that unfolded rapidly.

Through his meticulous investigations and the expertise of experts, Jensen identifies serial killers in Cleveland and Columbus. Why these cities? Because they offer easy prey, akin to sharks swimming in the waters where swimmers gather. Serial killers, too, seek out the heart of America, where the opioid epidemic has taken its toll. This is what happened to Danielle and Lindsey, but it is only the beginning of a chilling story.

In the 21st century, serial killers targeting sex workers will not be tolerated. Jensen's unwavering determination and commitment to justice shine through in his pursuit of truth and the pursuit of bringing these killers to justice.
