Slaughter On A Shoestring
On October 29, 1997, hooker Andrea "Slick" Hendrix's,
beaten, naked body was discovered in a roadside
ditch near Stewartsville, Indiana. With no leads for
police to follow, the case eventually went cold, but it
wouldn't stay that way. In 2003, sadistic sexual
predator Joseph W. Brown claimed to have strangled
Hendrix with his favorite murder weapon: a shoelace
from a woman's size-8 shoe.
Hard Luck
Ginger Gasaway, 53, met Brown at a Gambler's
Anonymous meeting. She didn't know that when she
took up with him, she was gambling with her life. On
August 30, 2000, Brown murdered Gasaway and
scattered her body parts across three Indiana
counties. For this grisly crime, he would be
sentenced to life in prison without parole. But it
wouldn't be his first time behind bars...
Blood Trail
How Many More?
In 1977, Brown had been sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping and armed
robbery. In 1995, he was released despite the fact that he'd beaten a fellow inmate
nearly to death. Brown later confessed that during the next five years, he indulged in
a seven-state rampage of torture and murder, his victims female hitchhikers and
prostitutes. Now doing time in Wabash Valley Corrections Center, Brown maintains
that he murdered no less than thirteen other women.
