Between 1983 and 1991, four young women were murdered and discarded in a desolate 25-acre abandoned oil field along Calder Road, just off Interstate 45 in League City, Galveston County, Texas. Known across the world as the "Texas Killing Fields," this overgrown swampy tract became the grim epicenter of over thirty unsolved female murders and disappearances along the Houston-Galveston transit corridor.
