- Details of Disappearance:
- On October 17, 2000, a prostitute named Beach disappeared in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Around the same time, four other prostitutes from the same area also vanished. Three of these women were later found murdered and their bodies left in different places, some far from Wilmington.
Police believe a serial killer, John Wayne Boyer, a truck driver, was responsible. Boyer targeted prostitutes across the southeastern US. He was caught and convicted of killing women in Wilmington and Tennessee, and admitted to leaving bodies near Interstate 20 in South Carolina. Police think he may have been killing women since 1989.
Even though Boyer is in prison, he’s never been charged with Beach’s disappearance, and her body has never been found. Her case is still unsolved.
