The girls vanished from their houses in Spotsylvania County, vanishing in the afterschool composed of quiet areas. Sofia's body was afterwards discovered the Lisk sisters in the South Anna River, in a King George County creek.
That victim was able to escape and call the cops, who pursued Evonitz to Florida.
With his tires in shreds after a high-speed pursuit, Evonitz eventually gave up but just to jam a gun deep into fire and his mouth. By the time Virginia authorities understood who Evonitz was, he was eternally immune to questions. Nevertheless, a brand new novel, In the Water, answers many of them.
