It took the collision of a traumatized escapee's bite mark, a farmer's discovery in a decaying Illinois hayloft, and an FBI profiler's recognition of a signature as perverse as sheared hair to finally expose the trucker who believed his victims—the young, the lost, the invisible—would never be missed enough for anyone to follow the trail of blood and polaroids that stretched from Houston to the Arizona desert and back again.
