Level 2 · 3 mo agoFr a random pimp actually did more to stop Montoya than the entire police department. Mfers really ignored all those missing women for years just cause they were sex workers and let the dude walk free

Level 2 · 3 mo agoI rather disagree with the theory that the killings stopped just because Montoya died. A predator like that wouldn't just quit, they would simply find a new dumping ground away from the construction 👀

Level 2 · 3 mo agoThat multiple killers theory makes zero sense. Two separate predators are not going to accidentally stumble upon and use the exact same dumping ground.
