The Frozen Ground Page #3

He got five years, he was

out in three months.

It seems he just had a

run-in with a prostitute.

She told Anchorage police

the exact same story.

- Why isn't this guy on our list?

- That was 12 years ago.

- If we open it up that much..

- Get everything you can from archive.

And check all missing persons

from the same period.

- Do you know anyone downtown.. vice?

- Yeah, one guy. Why?

- I need a meet. Tonight.

- Got it.

Eight girls in the last two years..

all late teens, early 20s,

5'2 " to 5'7", 120-125 lbs,

all made big money dates

With a stranger and then disappeared.

Cindy Paulson, 23, 5'2", 120 lbs

Was offered $200 for a blowj*b

and then raped at gunpoint.

Guy said he liked to take pictures,

Was gonna take her to his cabin

in the wild, but she got away.

There's not one lead on any

of these girls, except her.

Wherever she is, we need to find her.

- He's on. You want me to come?

- No.

Go back through all the

older files and see

if there are any other

girls that match.

- Let me guess.

- Gentile?

Halcombe.

Thanks for helping.

The night's still young.

Don't thank me yet.

Here, put this on.

Take this sh*t off.

There, now you look like an eighth-grade

teacher out looking for a perv.

I gotta warn you. You're not

gonna make many friends

For reopening up this case,

Not down here.

Word travels fast.

Whoever gave you that file just

f***ed his next promotion..

And your career.

They call it the track, like for horses.

The ho-stro.. where the ho's stroll.

Everyone knows everyone.

All the pimps know all the other

pimps, who owns which girls,

Which girls are the wild ones.

Black girls are boosters,

whites are flat-backs.

Good money-earning b*tch can do

both.. their words not mine.

It's move and hustle.

Give the least, get the most.

You know, it's all about the paper.

Let's dance.

I checked around.

Before here,

Cindy was arrested under p&I in Portland.

Has priors for prostitution

in cali, Washington,

Oregon and Denver.

She's been on the street

since she was 11 years old.

Quite a track star.

Pimp's a Clayton Jackson.

S.F.P.D. Had him

for trying to rearrange

His last girl's face with a

tire iron, but he got off.

Real nice piece of f***in' work.

Some of these bars are part of a

mob circuit run out of Seattle.

They move the girls

around, L.A., Portland,

Up here, Hawaii, Florida.

Sometimes with no notice,

they're just gone.

It keeps the talent fresh.

Have you seen this girl?

Have you seen her?

- Have you seen this girl?

- Nah, just started.

Her name's Cindy.

If she's street, we keep 'em outta here.

Might've come in.

I dunno.

Try the sleeping lady.

Maybe she's there.
