Three women, ages 37, 77 and 34, have disappeared since January 10. The locations are "approximately 60 miles apart if you take Highway 1 straight up from Pt. Reyes to Calzadero." Sleuth Beth Spotswood has a theory that this might be the work of a serial killer. Which, of course, we hope isn't the case.

Anyway, let's go to the facts:

A 34-year old Wine Country Film Festival Volunteer named Erica Shane was found dead in a creek on Tuesday afternoon. "Her Subaru Forrester was parked 'unusually' 200 yards away." Spotswood goes on to speculate, "Just off the top of my head, she was run off the road, ditched her car and ran."

Silvia Lange, 77, went missing on January 23 while walking alone on the cliffs of Pt. Reyes.

Before that, on January 10, a Ford Ranger belonging to Katherine Truitt, 37, of Alameda was discovered in a parking lot at McClures Beach. She is described as 6 ft tall, 145 lbs, with shoulder length brown hair.

Neither Lange nor Truitt have turned up.
