The case of Rex Heuermann charged in the murders of several sex workers found on a Long Island beach more than a decade ago has drawn attention to the unsolved murders of sex workers elsewhere.

Pee-wee Herman, a character he created in the late 1970s, delighted children with his elfin silliness and, through several feature films and an Emmy-winning children's show, also maintained a cult following of adults by speaking to their inner oddball. |
