A new article in what I expect will be a series of updates throughout the week.
A city councilman, Zack Reed, is rattled. I recall his name from the Sowell murders, and the E 93rd murders in 2012-13. Between him, and a community that won't be silenced, I'm cautiously optimistic that LE will exert transparency in their investigation. One can hope, right? Ultimately, what really matters is that they do whatever necessary to conduct an efficient investigation, and bring the killer(s) to justice.
Good article.
Alianna DeFreeze went missing in Cleveland, and a new horror surfaces

Here's what we do know.
Alianna DeFreeze, 14, boarded a Regional Transit Authority bus near her home early Friday morning, headed to the middle school she attends in the Union-Miles neighborhood. It's usually a 20-minute ride down Kinsman Avenue, then a transfer to another bus to complete her trip to E-Prep.
The journey would take her past deteriorated neighborhoods, abandoned houses and the general despair of swaths of Cleveland that have long been left behind. At her transfer point, near East 93rd Street and Kinsman, there's a McDonald's -- a familiar neighborhood anchor in the midst of a palpable malaise.
Footage from a security camera in the neighborhood shows her walking near the McDonald's just before 7 a.m. Thursday. But she didn't make her RTA transfer. She never made it to school. She didn't go back home. Alianna went missing.
[...]
However, the discovery of the still then unidentified body terrified Cleveland Councilman Zack Reed. He said he feared that the discovery signaled a trend.
"This is the fifth body found near the 93rd Street corridor since 2012. Four of the bodies have been dumped in vacant lots or abandoned houses. Police tell me there's no obvious connection between the murders, but I'm not so sure. How do we know that we don't have another serial killer out here?" Reed told me Tuesday afternoon.
The councilman has reason to be extraordinarily sensitive when it comes to the topic of missing women. Sowell operated in Reed's former ward with a shocking recklessness and sadistic arrogance until he was caught. Still, Cleveland somehow failed to detect a prolific serial killer until one of Sowell's intended victims managed to escape and report the monster.

ETA: No mention here of the 3:20 bus. Adds to my skepticism.
