A woman gets into a van at 3 a.m. and disappears. Days later, Eden Young is found beaten to death in a quiet yard miles away from where she was last seen. Her clothing is discovered along a highway. Investigators later say her killing wasn’t random. But no one is ever charged.
Eden Young wasn’t the only one. In the early 1990s, multiple women connected to sex work in the Twin Cities were found dead: beaten, strangled, left in fields and along roads. Advocates said there was a pattern. Law enforcement wasn’t sure.
