About this listen
 Interstate 40 has gained notoriety as a hotspot for unsolved murders and mysterious disappearances, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations like the unhoused and sex workers. In 2004, an analyst discovered a troubling pattern of bodies dumped near the I-40 corridor, prompting the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) to investigate highway crimes nationwide. This trend exposed a jurisdictional blind spot, as criminals could easily commit offenses in one state and dispose of evidence in another while traveling for work. Consequently, law enforcement began scrutinizing long-haul truck drivers and compiling data on hundreds of victims along American highways. Although I-40 symbolized the initial discovery, similar tragedies occur on highways across the United States, leading agencies to improve interstate communication and DNA testing to finally solve these cold cases.
