The Freeway Phantom murders terrorized the Anacostia region of Washington, DC from May 1971 until September 1972. The profile for the killers" seven victims proved startlingly consistent. The murders were carried out in an equally consistent- and horrifying- manner. The investigation, reaching its height with 70 investigators and four police precincts working on the case, proved inept. Today, no convictions have been made to shed certain light on the Freeway Phantom, but many theories still exist. .
The "Phantom" chose very similar victims. Perhaps the most chilling parallel between the subjects is that four of the seven victims had the middle name "Denise." In addition, the girls were between the ages of 10 and 18: "the younger girls looking older and the older girls looking younger." The victims shared similar physical and psychological descriptions: friendly, happy, skinny, tall, smiley, charming, and gregarious. Four played in the same parks. Four went to junior highs close to each other, two being classmates. (Krause, C1).
A very precise blueprint for abducting- and murdering- the girls was followed by the Freeway Phantom. All of the victims were walking down the street in their Anacostia neighborhoods after performing everyday activities: coming from the grocery store, going to work, walking to a job. (Saar, A1) The man, or men, lured the girls into the car, presumably with no resistance (no screams were reported and the examination of the victims" bodies after the murders showed no signs of a struggle). After the girls were abducted, six were strangled and one was shot. All were sexually molested. The bodies were then placed on the busy expressways in Prince George's County, positioned so they could be seen by drivers, between 1 and 3 in the morning. One body was dropped in Waldorf, Maryland (Krause, C1).
But how did the Freeway Phantom lure these girls into his car, especially given the fact that the killer gained widespread notoriety throughout the region? Every mother was telling her children not to talk to strangers and especially not get into a car with an unknown person.
