The quiet highways that connected this former whaling community to the rest of the world became the stage for a series of murders that would haunt the region for decades to come. The Forgotten Women Between March and September of 1988, eleven women vanished from the streets of New Bedford.

Christine Montero was the first to vanish, her whereabouts still unknown today. As the months progressed, the disappearances conti...
