What are the chances that, in the same area just a few months apart, three young women all go missing and are all found murdered? In this episode, we take you to the East Bay near San Francisco where Elaine Davis, Leona Roberts and Cosette Ellison were all kidnapped from their homes.

But what we also ask in this episode is why American suburbia seems safer to so many of us even when these types of crimes take place. And why is it that Tribal reservations have such a reputation for "danger," when brutal crimes take place in the "safest" parts of the US too?
