Introduction

Marilyn Moore ran away from home when she was 15 years old. She married at 16, divorced at 19, and then started sex work. Marilyn lived in a town only about one mile away from the Red Light District of Chappell Town. At 8pm on Wednesday 14 December 1977, 25-year-old Marilyn saw a man in a car circling the area. In order to get noticed, Marilyn walked towards him. As soon as she was in his line of sight, he got out of the car and started talking to it. They agreed on the standard price of 5 pounds.
