Summary

Between 2005 and 2007, a serial killer targeted sex workers in the Daytona Beach region. Laquetta Gunther, Julie Green, and Iwana Patton all fell prey to this killer in successive months, and roughly two years later, the remains of Stacey Gage were found in nearly-identical circumstances. Now, police believe that they have the killer in-custody, who has been linked to the case through DNA testing.
