Seven Bridges, A Serial Killer, and the Road That Kept Its Secrets Between 2003 and 2009, ten people vanished from the northeastern neighborhoods of Rocky Mount, North Carolina. All ten were African-American. Eight women’s remains were recovered from a thirteen-mile rural corridor along Seven Bridges Road, in the swampy pine terrain of the Edgecombe-Halifax county borderland. The others were never found. One man, Antwan Maurice Pittman, was convicted of a single first-degree murder. Nine deaths remain without formal legal accounting.Seven Bridges is the definitive narrative account of the killings that haunted eastern North Carolina for a decade. Drawing on court records, forensic analysis, behavioral science, and the testimony of the community that refused to be silenced, Cormac Daly-Brennan reconstructs the full human reality of the series: the lives of the women who were taken, the grassroots advocacy of the MOMS organization that forced a reluctant institutional response, the forensic science that secured the only conviction, and the structural failures of race, poverty, and institutional design that allowed a predator to operate for years in plain sight.This is a book about a road, and about a killer, and about the women the world was prepared to forget. It is also a reckoning with the American systems that made forgetting so easy. For the families still waiting, it is the accounting they were always owed
