Enraged

A 30-year-old advertising executive was abducted, raped and murdered while walking to her car after work one night in downtown Seattle. Her body was discovered a week later, and a man was arrested in connection with the crimes. He was a state inmate recently placed into a work-release facility who had skipped work the day of the crime and failed to return that night. It should not have been this way. The man was a diagnosed sexual psychopath deemed too dangerous to participate in any rehabilitation systems. With no options for treatment available, the state released him into the community, almost daring him to commit more crimes.
