The two nastiest crimes currently in the news are those of kidnapper Phillip Garrido and murder victim (it seems pretty certain) Annie Le. Garrido is the fellow who snatched an 11-year-old girl off the street and kept her a prisoner for 18 years. Le is the young Yale grad student whose corpse was found on the day she was scheduled to get married. There is a curious connection between the two cases, described here.
