Yes, it certaintly is. You have to wonder if there is a serial killer targeting homeless women in Berkeley, Missouri. I don't at all think it's a coincidence that two women in the same city vanished 8 days after one another, after checking out of a homeless shelter.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) Kathy Wilkerson is another woman who disappeared under the same circumstances after checking out of a homeless shelter in Arvada, Colorado on April 23, 2000. No photo of her either.

I wish there was a database for unsolved murders in the country like there is for the missing. I wonder if other women who were homeless and found deceased during the time, before and after? These two women are tied together even if the only tie is being homeless. Both are short women. Was it the same homeless shelter or are there others in that area?

Maury was possibly active at the time these 2 disappeared. He targeted sex workers, mainly out of the St Louis area.

I'm not seeing any mention of sex work on either of their namus pages though

Population 10k in 2000. That may be small enough for one shelter

Berkeley is part of St. Louis County, MO. It's right next to Lambert International Airport and is surrounded by other towns/cities in North St. Louis County. It is not a remote town/city. Picture for reference.
