| Whores di combat: Prostitutes to hunt down serial killer |
| 2006-03-15 |
| EFL Women involved in prostitution in Daytona Beach, Fla., have reportedly armed themselves and are searching for a serial killer behind the slayings of three residents. "Rather than run from the man police labeled a serial killer, streetwalkers here in Daytona Beach along Ridgewood Avenue say they are seeking the serial killer out," Local 6 reported Tarik Minor said. "They believe the man responsible for murdering three women here is someone they have come in contact with." "We will get him first," streetwalker Tonya Richardson said. "Yeah, we are going to get him first. When we find him, he is going to be sorry. It is as simple as that." Richardson said she and other women are carrying weapons on the streets after Laquetta Gunther, Julie Green and Iwana Patton were found dead in the city. "I carry a switch blade with me now," Richardson said. "Everyone else does now too." "We will get him first," streetwalker Tonya Richardson said. "Yeah, we are going to get him first. When we find him, he is going to be sorry. It is as simple as that." The women are apparently teaming up and promising their own kind of justice. Last week, a Florida Department of Law Enforcement criminal profiler said a serial killer committed the three unsolved murders. Special Agent Tom Davis said he believes the suspect is a male who targeted the three victims because of other stressors in his life, according to a police statement. No evidence so far indicates any of the women was taken against her will, according to the report. But I'll bet being killed was against their wills. In recent days, local ministers have also hit Daytona streets warning prostitutes about the killer. "We are asking them to buddy up," Street ministry spokeswoman Denise Horsman said. "To stay in lighted areas and get off the street if they can. If they can't, to do anything they can." |

| #3 now, now, Sea. It's important to have an open mind and show compassion and understanding for our fellow men. I personally think that it would be an act of mercy for these women to relieve that poor person of the burden of a stressful life. |
