Patricia Ann Wilson-Butler was a 45-year-old Black woman from Kansas City, Missouri, whose body was identified among multiple victims found on vacant lots along the Prospect Corridor in early September 2004. Her death was announced publicly after remains were discovered beside another victim at a vacant property in the 2600 block of Montgall; families were notified as detectives linked several killings and confirmed multiple victims had been dumped in the neighborhood.

Police publicly acknowledged they believed a single killer was responsible for the string of bodies found on vacant property east of downtown. In the days following the discoveries investigators worked to determine causes of death while forensic testing, including semen recovered from a victim, began to shape the inquiry. Authorities arrested Terry Blair on a parole violation in mid-September and prosecutors moved to file murder charges as forensic evidence was developed.

Does anyone have information about Patricia Butler’s life in Kansas City or recall seeing her in the Prospect Corridor area before September 2004?
