This Washington Field Office file concerns the 1971 killings of young girls in the Washington, D.C., and Maryland area known as the Freeway Phantom case. The released material consists chiefly of newspaper clippings serialized by the FBI in November 1971, rather than investigative reports or identified suspects. The clippings discuss the deaths of Brenda Crockett, Nenomoshia Yates, and Brenda Woodard, and report police efforts to determine whether six killings were connected. They describe similarities in the victims' ages, abductions while traveling locally, and the recovery of several bodies near the Route 295, Kenilworth Avenue, and Baltimore-Washington Parkway corridor.
