The Springfield Slasher is an unknown villain who killed ten victims in Springfield, Il, during 2003 and 2004. Christ! I knew about that bastard. The Springfield Slasher killed and hacked up four women in the summer of 2003, then six more in the summer of 2004, and then vanished without a trace. And I knew about the Springfield Slasher because his seventh victim was Helena Goodkind-Prescott, one of my cousins. Sgt. Buxton said: “The police didn’t get anywhere with the Springfield Slasher crimes because they didn’t know what the hell to do with the evidence they found. I have some contacts who aren’t exactly.. kosher. And they said the cops - and the FBI and the private investigators the Goodkinds forced on the cops - were all stymied because the crime scenes weren’t ordinary crime scene
