September Sacrifice

Vanished "If I'm ever late for work, call the police!"—that's what Albuquerque, New Mexico bank teller Girly Chew told her boss. The Malaysian-born 36-year-old beauty lived in mortal fear of estranged husband Diazien Hossencofft, and had taken out a restraining order against him. She was late for work for the first—and last—time on September 10, 1999. Her bloodstained clothes and underwear were found near a lonely stretch of desert highway. With no body to work with, a team of dedicated law enforcement personnel began to weave a net of forensic evidence that would bring to light a brutal crime—and snag a violent con man whose final game had gone too far.
