On April 25, 1971, 13-year-old Carol Spinks disappeared in Washington DC. Six days later, her body was discovered by a group of kids near a local road. Police assumed it was a one-off murder, but they were wrong: Carol had become the first-known victim of Washington’s first serial killer. By the end of the following year, five more black girls aged between 10 and 18 were dead: Darlenia Johnson, Brenda Crockett, Nenomoshia Yates, Brenda Woodard and Diane Williams.
