The call coming through the police radio said a woman was seen being dragged, screaming, into an overgrown lot. She was found...battered, drugged and unconscious. Though she was known along the street as an addict and a prostitute, all the other pimps and whores said they hadn't seen a thing. The girl later said she hadn't either, from the series "Police Work"
