Please pray for our city

A lot has happened for us in the past couple of months and in the last ten years. There have been three murders of young women in our area, two of which occured just minutes from our university. It appears that these three were commited by the same man (through DNA). However, the police have not said if another murder that happened recently is connected. Our city is on alert, as it should be. Once the police released info. that this was a serial killer, newspapers and news shows started airing old video of their coverage on other unsolved murders of women in our area that have occured over the last ten years. The news was shocking. Around thirty unsolved murders of women in the last ten years!! I know it seems strange that this could go relatively unnoticed by the public, but I honestly never thought a serial killer could be responsible. Of course the police wouldn't comment on if all were related until they know for sure, but it appears that more must be related other than the three. For most of the murders, there was no forced entry, so please, lock your doors, even in the daytime as many of these occured in the daytime. Don't open the door for anyone!!! Be cautious when you bring your car to the mechanic and things like that, to only leave your car key and not your whole set of keys. The murderer is probably someone that the women do not feel threatened by (clean cut, maybe attractive.) The victims were well educated, business women, so anyone could fall prey to this killer. I'm worried about school starting August 26 and about the thousands of women that will be on campus. I don't want to seem narrow minded and to say that crime never occurs in our city. Believe me, we have had the average amount of rapes or robberies and murders too (usually these murders were related to drugs and things, but no one can remember ever having a serial killer. Please pray for us and for our safety. Thanks!
