Six Days, Six Victims, One Connection

On May 31, 2018, Dr. Stephen Pitt texted his fiancée Natalie that he'd meet her for dinner in "ten minutes max." He never showed. When Natalie drove to his office building in Phoenix, she found police tape, his Range Rover still in the lot, and what looked like medical supplies on the ground. A mutual friend on the force broke the news: Stephen had been shot. The internationally renowned forensic psychiatrist—who had consulted on the JonBenét Ramsey case, the Columbine psychiatric autopsy project, and the Baseline Killer investigation—was dead at 59.

The next afternoon, June 1, a woman in business attire came running barefoot down a Scottsdale street, bleeding from the head, and collapsed beside a parked limo bus. Paramedics initially assumed a medical emergency. Then they found the gunshot wound. Police followed a trail of blood to an open door at Burt, Feldman, and Grenier, a family law firm. Inside, they found a second woman, also shot. Both died. They were Valeria Sharp, 48, and Laura Anderson, 49—paralegals who had worked together at the firm.

Over the course of just a few days in 2018, six people were killed across the Phoenix area, and at first, the victims seemed to have nothing to do with one another. A nationally respected forensic psychiatrist, gunned down outside his office. Two paralegals. A counselor. A couple in a quiet suburban home. Different people, different places, no obvious link. A community was left terrified, and investigators were racing against the clock as the body count climbed.

But these killings were not random. Someone had chosen these victims carefully and deliberately, and hidden beneath the chaos was a single, disturbing thread connecting them all. The question was whether police could uncover it before anyone else died.
