DOJ has asked us to join a task force

that's setting up shop
on the Akwesasne Reservation.

It's dedicated to missing
and m*rder*d Indigenous women.

- Do we have a specific target?
- Yes.

Last night,
a young Native American woman

escaped her attacker,
a man who they believe

is responsible for
a series of brutal murders.

Okay, so we're hunting a serial k*ller?

Four bodies were found
along the St. Regis River,

three of them beyond decomposed.

The victims were all young,
petite, Native American women.

I've heard about this case.

This is the Hollow Man.

It sure is.

The most recent victim had
her throat slit,

was cut open, and bled out,

her liver and stomach removed.

If she were a deer,

you say she'd been field dressed.

And all four women were found like that?

A hunter stumbled
across Riley Lawton's body,

which had been preserved
by the last snow.

The dogs were called out

and the other three were discovered.

Okay, does that mean you have
a timeline on the murders?

She believes they happened in the fall,

the first victim in September,
the next two in the winter.

Riley Lawton's time of death
was around a month ago.

Okay, so these are all young,

petite, Mohawk women.

What else connects them?

The only thing so far
is that none of them

were reported missing
until their bodies were found.

They weren't on anyone's radar.

Low-impact victims.

That's how my first captain
would describe them.

I've been fighting for months

It wasn't till I leaked a few details

to my old college roommate,
who's a reporter at the "Post,"

that anyone else cared
about these women.

These women, they're my sisters.

And there's been whispers
for a while now

that women were going missing.

Isn't the homicide rate
for Native American women



And those are just
the ones we know about.

There could be more victims.

And we got a break last night
when a woman escaped

the john who att*cked her,

a woman who fits the
victimology of this k*ller.

Here, let me show you
a surveillance video.

The woman who escaped,
her name is Shenoa.

Shenoa Fermy.

This is her just after
she escaped her john.

Now, let me show you
the footage from earlier.

She was working the gas station.

The john picked her up,

drove her down the road a stretch,
and pulled a g*n on her.

She was able to escape
and make her way back

to the gas station

where a good Samaritan
gave her the jacket

off his back, called for help.

How many of the other Hollow
Man's victims are sex workers?

One other victim, his third.

Lily Yorn.

So the john that picked up Shenoa,

did he buy any gas or anything
from the gas station?

Unfortunately, no.

We have a partial plate on his truck.

Hana, get started on that plate.

Yeah, I'm all over it.

You two, head to that gas station,

- see what you can find.
- Will do.

Riley Lawton, what do we know about her?

Nothing, really.

No family in the area,
no friends that we could find.

All we really know
is that she didn't show up

for her waitress job one morning.

Three days later, her body was found.

And her employer didn't try
to contact her or the police?

No. They just suspected
that she was out sick,

and they called someone else in
to take her shift.

All right, the first thing we
need to do is talk to Shenoa,

see if she can give us a
description of the Hollow Man.

I figured.

I have her waiting over here.

So what did he look like?

He's Mohawk like me.

Mean-looking too.

I didn't like him from the jump.

I should have listened to my gut, but...

You're safe now.

That's all that matters.

I have three brothers.

I learned how to fight.

When he pulled his g*n on me,
it was all like,

"Release the kraken!" you know?

Man, I'd give anything
for a fix right now.

You don't have anything, do you?

Just caffeine.

He promised me a hit.

You know, when he picked me up.

Partial payment, he said.

I've been trying to get clean, but...

My mom was an addict.

She overdosed when I was young.

She had her whole life

He was Native American, right?

How big would you say?

Not big. He's more like a rat.

You know, he's rat-like.

Short hair, black,

he's maybe 35 or so.

Can you walk us through what
happened after he picked you up?

It was, like, totally normal.

He wanted to stay in his smelly truck.

What'd it smell like?

Man juice.

He wanted a better look at me,

so I took off my jacket.

And when I looked up,
he had his g*n pointed at me.

I got out of there as fast as I could.

I left my jacket
and my purse in the car.

Yeah.

♪

Border patrol confirmed

Eddie Lauda was in New Hampshire

when our victims were all k*lled.

So Eddie was telling the truth.

Yep. They charged Eddie with as*ault

and false imprisonment,

but he's not our serial k*ller.

Slitting someone's throat
is a tremendous display

of personal power.

We're dealing with someone
who has power issues,

either a lot of it...

Or none of it.

Someone who isn't afraid
of close contact

and wet work.

Well, maybe he's a hunter.

How long before Riley went missing

till her body was found?

Three days, although ME believes

she was dead for less than a day.

So the Hollow Man
could have abducted her,

held her for two days
before k*lling her, why?

To t*rture her?

ME says there were no signs of t*rture.

The eviscerations were postmortem.

And all the r*pe kits
came back negative.

So no overt sexual motives at play here?

Maybe he gets off on
keeping his victims prisoner.

If he's holding these women
hostage for two days

before cutting them open,

two days is enough time
to empty the stomach,

which he's taken from the bodies.

Yeah, but why would he want
to empty their stomachs?

Is he force-feeding them
something possibly,

like a human foie gras?

Ugh.

Okay, I'm officially done eating.

All the bodies were found
within a few hundred yards

of each other, dumped there.

What do we know about
where they were abducted?

Three of our four victims had cars.

Our first victim, Brianna Culpbert,

her car was found abandoned
here on a road.

There's no cameras. It's very rural.

The second victim, Ally Woodrose,

her car was found here
on a similar road.

And our third victim, Riley Lawton,

her car was abandoned here.

In the middle of it?

The Akwesasne Fairgrounds?

There's a casino there.

And there's a state fair
every September.

The RMS clinic is also there,

three times a year.

What's that?

It's the Rural Medical Services.

It's a pop-up clinic.

We don't have a lot of doctors up here.

Nearest hospital's 50 miles away.

That clinic is how most people
get their basic medical care.

It's here three times a year...

fall, winter, spring.

So fall when the first m*rder happened,

winter when the next
three murders happened.

And it's in town now for the spring.

It opens up today.

That's it.

He could be using that clinic
as his hunting ground.

Barnes, come with me.

And, Hana, see if any of our
victims are patients there.

Nina, Ray, Riley's car is still
at the impound lot.

See if it has anything to tell us.

Yep.

Do you keep records of the patients

that visit these clinics?

I wish we had that kind of money.

The closest thing we have
to a system here

are these paper numbers we give out.

These are the four women
we're interested in.

Is there any way that we can
find out if they were seen here?

I can do my best.

When do the doctors arrive?

Any minute now.

They're being shuttled over
from the hotel.

They're not from around here?

Most are from Manhattan,
a few from Boston.

They're all volunteers.

So am I, for that matter.

I live in Burlington.

Excuse me a second.

A doctor is not afraid
of close body contact

or bodily fluids.

Also has a position of power.

Not to mention the skill set
to flay somebody open

and remove their organs.

So why come all the way
up here for victims?

Precisely.

Because they're not at home.
They're anonymous.

But they may have priors
in their home town.

Sorry. One last thing.

Can you get a list of all
the volunteer doctors for us?

What for?

We're just covering our bases.

Might help us find
who we're looking for.

Yeah, okay.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah, that's a slice.

Yep.

Like it was made with a Kn*fe.

I'm not sure this is accidental.

It's too close to the tread.

It creates a slow leak.

Okay, so is this what our k*ller does?

Saw that she was like those
other girls that ended up dead.

Young, Native American, petite?

And alone.

I didn't find any evidence of
another person in the car with her.

Yeah, no sign of struggle,

Don't forget,

Dr. May worked this morning.
I don't think he's the Hollow Man.

He would have had to treat Maya, leave,

puncture her tire,
stalk her for 20 minutes,

secure her, and then get back here.

Another woman's missing,

a woman you saw earlier today.

Her name is Maya Holt.

I remember her.

About seven months along.

She's pregnant?

Yes.

But with her petite stature,
she'll probably deliver early.

♪

Maya is seven months pregnant.

This is a major changeup
in the Hollow Man's MO.

None of his other victims were pregnant.

I mean, serial K*llers evolve, sure,

but her being pregnant makes
her a high-profile victim.

Is the father in the picture?

We got people
at her apartment right now.

So far, she appears to live alone.

Okay, so like the other victims,

women who won't be immediately missed.

There's no other pattern of kills
that resemble these murders, right?

Not that I've found.

And these kills only happened
here starting in September?

According to the ME.

And I got to tell you,

September is my least favorite
time of the year.

It's when the seasonal workers,
young guys, most of them,

come back with nothing to do
and wallets thick with cash.

What kind of work do they do?

This is where most men go
from May to September,

over to Alaska,

where salmon is processed and canned.

A worker who guts fish?

That's somebody
who's not afraid of wet work.

And they have the knowledge
and the strength

to be able to gut a woman.

Does this fish company
have a recruitment office?

Just another moment.

There.

Okay, I found it.

This is a list of the men we hired

to join us in Alaska last summer.
