Today’s New York Times reports that the bodies of four women were found in a ditch outside Atlantic City:
None of them were wearing shoes or socks. Each was discovered face down in several inches of water, head tilted slightly to the east. At least one had been strangled.
Aside from those chilling details, the authorities here said on Tuesday that they did not know how the bodies of four unidentified women ended up in a drainage ditch behind a row of squalid motels in the shadow of Atlantic City’s glittering lights…..
The Atlantic County prosecutor, Jeffrey S. Blitz, said … that one woman, identified by fingerprints and photographs as Kim Raffo, 35 …. Her current boyfriend, Charles Coles, said Ms. Raffo … worked as a prostitute. “It hurt her and broke her down,”he said.”She was trying to get her life together to get her kids back.”
