Halloween is supposed to be all fun and games, a night when we put on costumes and playfully embrace our

dark side. But for some, it becomes an opportunity to unleash their darkest fantasies and bring

nightmares to life. Every year, calculated killers choose Halloween to seek out vulnerable victims.

They target lone partygoers, often young women, and commit unspeakable crimes.

In 2001, a college senior named Cindy Song became one of those victims.

What should have been a night of innocent partying
