This is True Crime Garage, and this is the Killing Filled's trilogy.

The Killing Fills, Part 3.

The 1980s was when the now notorious plot of land received the name the Killing Filled, and it certainly deserved it.

For many parents and loved ones, this was simply a graveyard.

The Killing Filled joined the other stretches of land around Interstate 45 as a place to be avoided, feared, and hated.

Was there no end in sight? When does the healing start?

When this nightmare began back in 1971, no one would have imagined all of the lives lost to the Killing Fills,

and how many years the murders would span.

But evil has no time limit.

When evil does not always age as fast as the rest of us, unless you destroy it, evil stays.

By now the Killing Fills have taught us that evil is not just a guy and a truck trolling the highway looking for victims, or a man with a gun.

Sometimes it's much more than that. Sometimes evil is a place.

In early 1996, Crystal Jean Baker, only 13 years old, left her grandmother's home walking to meet a friend.

In April of 1997, 12-year-old Laura Kate Smither went jogging like she had done several times before, on a quiet road near her home.

In the summer of 97, Jessica Cain, 17, attended a party and later her truck would be found on I-45, but Jessica was nowhere in sight.

Would Crystal, Laura, and Jessica simply vanish like so many young ladies before them, or would they be found in the Killing Fills?

In part 3, we're going to cover the 1990s and beyond.

Now I know the last two decades, the 70s and 80s were filled with a lot of death and a lot of frustration about how some of the different police departments handled some of the cases and the missing persons reports.

I do want to remind everyone that this was a long time ago and a lot of what took place was taking place in small towns or rural areas.

A lot of the time this was going on as populations were starting to grow in these areas between Houston and Galveston, and sometimes these smaller departments are having trouble keeping up.

But just as I remind you about that, I want to point out that today is going to be a different day captain because today we are going to get some answers.
