—Suzette Trouten, one of John Robinson’s murder victims In the early 1980s, over a period of years, women started to disappear near Kansas City in the border area where Kansas and Missouri meet. Police didn’t know why or how these disappearances were occurring, but the cops would come to realize that some of the disappearances were related to the twisted psyches of the women involved. In other words, the person who made them disappear would not have been able to do so if he had not been targeting women whose conditions made them susceptible to being taken advantage of. The man at the center of the mystery was John E. Robinson, who was into sadism and masochism (S and M) with a twist. At one point, Robinson billed himself as “the Slavemaster” on the Internet, and he no doubt treated his women with profound cruelty. What strikes me as very curious is why those women couldn’t at least have sensed what he was really like. Perhaps they did, but their overwhelming need to be dominated—and, in a curious way, loved that way—made them look to the side rather than straight at the man to determine what he was really like.
