Blake went missing in early May 2021. She had won $20,000 at a casino and, like Maturin, was known to carry large amounts of cash, according to court documents.

So basically the killer targeted the sort of people who keep a lot of money in their cars? Why would someone hold onto cash like that?

I work in a hospital admitting patients for surgery.

The amount of people who come in with LARGE wads of cash is.. perplexing. My guess is these people don’t trust banks or the people around them, so they carry their cash everywhere they go.
