The bodies of ten young women have been found in an investigation into a serial killer operating in Long Island. Four of the victims have been identified as prostitutes. Police have not identified the other victims. For more about the case we have Edward Conlon, detective for the NYPD and author of “Red on Red: A Novel.” Rachel Lloyd, author of the memoir “Girls Like Us: Fighting for a World Where Girls Are Not for Sale, an Activist Finds Her Calling and Heals Herself” is Executive Director and founder of GEMS – Girls Educational and Mentoring Services. She tells us more about the historical relationship between the sex industry and serial murders.
