Brenda Lee Hatfield, a 45-year-old Black woman, was found dead on July 7, 2008, in the 4500 block of Old Frederick Road in Baltimore. Her initial cause of death was listed as unknown. She was reported found naked or partially undressed, a detail that linked her to a string of female victims in the city.

Police noted Hatfield was one of five women believed to be involved in prostitution who were killed in Baltimore over a six-month span, prompting concern that a predator might have been targeting vulnerable women. Detective Raymond Yost of the Baltimore Police Department was handling the investigation as of early 2009. No suspects or arrests had been publicly identified by that time and the case remained open and unsolved.

Did anyone who knew Brenda Lee Hatfield or who lived near Old Frederick Road in 2008 notice anything that could help investigators?
