Urteil:
 

On February 17, 1981, the body of a young, unidentified black woman was found on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale's ghetto. The medical examiner's report described her death as a homicide committed by "unspecified means." On June 1 of that year, the skeletal remains of a black girl, roughly thirteen years old, were discovered in the same vacant field; once again, authorities had no I.D. and no cause of death for the victim . Number three was identified -- as Eloise Coleman, age 30, a neighborhood resident. Her corpse was found on June 10, 1981, again in the same field, 100 yards from the site of the original murder. Cause of death was described as blunt trauma to the victim's skull, produced by a powerful blow. Coleman was last seen alive -- except by her killer -- when she left the family home on Sunday evening, June 7. At this writing, police remain baffled by the slayings of three black females in Fort Lauderdale. Unwilling to call the crimes "a series," homicide investigators have acknowledged the remarkable similarities and apparent geographical connections. The killer (or killers) remains at large.
