When Shakara Carter is found strangled to death on a dead-end road in Grand Rapids, Michigan, she’s days away from testifying against a serial rapist. But she’s also one of about two dozen sex workers killed in the area over the years… and unlike some of those victims, Shakara’s killer is elusive. 

• If you have any information about Shakara’s case, please contact the Grand Rapids Police Department at 616-456-3400.
