Meanwhile, women involved in prostitution in Daytona Beach, Fla., have reportedly armed themselves and are searching for the serial killer, according to a Local 6 News report."Rather than run from the man police labeled a serial killer, streetwalkers here in Daytona Beach along Ridgewood Avenue say they are seeking the serial killer out," Local 6 reported Tarik Minor said. "They believe the man responsible for murdering three women here is someone they have come in contact with." "We will get him first," streetwalker Tonya Richardson said. "Yeah, we are going to get him first. When we find him, he is going to be sorry. It is as simple as that."Richardson said she and other women are carrying weapons on the streets after Laquetta Gunther, Julie Green and Iwana Patton were found dead in the city."I carry a switch blade with me now," Richardson said. "Everyone else does now, too."In recent days, local ministers have also hit Daytona streets warning prostitutes about the killer, Local 6 News reported."We are asking them to buddy up," Street ministry spokeswoman Denise Horsman said. "To stay in lighted areas and get off the street if they can. If they can't, to do anything they can."Anyone with information concerning this crime is urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.- March 14, 2006: Daytona Prostitutes Hunting Serial Killer
