It seems like the Illinois Horsey scene was seriously "mobbed up" in the 1960's. There was a lot of criminal activity and a lot of killings. A lot of people involved seemed to have been willing to kill to promote/protect their business interests. None of the women seemed to have been involved in the "business" end. They were just Horsey types who hung out at the tracks and stables. Ann Miller worked at a track but it was pretty low level. Attractive young women who "hung out" were bound to have caught the eye of the "players" who were involved in the business. There were rumors that Ann Miller was pregnant. Does anyone know who the father was? Could he have been one of the "players"? (My guess is that Ann didn't date stable boys).
It seems that the women were lured on board a nice cabin crusier before they were abducted and murdered. It would be a very unlikely contract "hit". It was far more likely either a charming sexual preditor or someone one of the women knew. An inconvenient pregnancy is a common motive for murder and the other women could have just been wrong place/wrong time.
