Between 1976 and 1978, an unidentified killer stalked New Haven, Connecticut, selecting black women as his victims , preying chiefly on prostitutes working the neighborhood of Chapel Street, a short walk from Yale University. Police are hesitant to speculate about connections in the several crimes, but four of the known victims had records of arrests for prostitution, and three were dispatched within a single month, reducing the odds of coincidence or separate killers at large in the college community. Following the death of victim Terry Williams, 23, found nude and shot in a motel room, frightened blacks established "soul patrols," with men escorting hookers to their "jobs" and standing by to watch for clues. At this writing, neither homicide detectives nor private patrols have succeeded in naming the killer.
