Episode Details

When Falls County, Texas Sheriff Larry Pamplin heard Kenneth McDuff was out on parole, he prophetically stated, “I don’t know if will be a few days, a few weeks, or a few weeks, but bodies will start turning up.”  Indeed, a string of abductions started happening up and down the Interstate 35 corridor between Dallas and Austin. McDuff started a murderous crime spree that would span two and a half years. The paroled triple killer and an accomplice circled an Austin car wash, stalking a victim. In the words of McDuff, "They were on the hunt for a woman to use up." It was just a few days after Christmas in 1991.  They spotted Colleen Reed, a petite Austin accountant,  washing her new sports car.  Neighbors hear her shrill scream. In a split second, Colleen disappeared, never to be seen alive again.
