The homeless have always been easy targets for killers. The homeless often do not have the same roots as those with a house and family around. Its easier to get away with killing someone with no anchor, no way for people to notice they are missing. Often its harder to find out who someone is if they are homeless, which will slow down the search for who did it as well. Its sad to see homeless people taken advantage of like that.
U.S. Laws Criminalizing Homelessness Mount, Even As Courts Strike Them Down:
Across 25 major cities surveyed by the U.S. Conference of mayors, 43 percent saw an increase in homelessness over the past year. In addition, almost three-quarters of these cities' social services were forced to turn away homeless families with children, due to a lack of emergency beds available. Ref. Source 5
