On January 11th, house cleaner Ruth Davis—28 years old, single mother of two, and a three-year independent contractor with a growing list of loyal clients—arrived at a red-brick colonial home on Meadow Ridge Lane in rural Claremore, Oklahoma, for a 1:00 PM appointment. The homeowner, an elderly white man named Colton Ridley, 71, opened the door with a warm smile, complimented her punctuality, and held the door wide. She stepped inside carrying her cleaning caddy and mop. The door closed behind her. That was the last time anyone heard from Ruth Davis.

Colton Ridley—retired civil engineer, widower, church deacon—had spent the last five years exclusively booking Black women through cleaning service apps, always requesting in-home appointments, always in the middle of the afternoon when the cul-de-sac was empty. His attic, accessible through a pull-down ladder behind a hallway closet, contained a soundproofed room with restraints bolted to the floor, industrial plastic sheeting, and a wall-mounted corkboard displaying printed profile photos of 19 Black women—all cleaners, all sourced from the same three platforms. Nine of those photos had a small black dot in the bottom corner. Ruth’s printed profile photo was pinned in the center. No dot yet.
