Jennifer 8

Jennifer 8 is a 1992 American neo-noir[2] thriller film written and directed by Bruce Robinson and starring Andy García, Uma Thurman, Lance Henriksen, Kathy Baker, and John Malkovich.

After finding a woman's severed hand in a garbage bag at the local dump, Berlin reopens the case of an unidentified murdered girl, nicknamed "Jennifer," which went unsolved despite a full-time six-month effort by the department.

Berlin notes an unusually large number of scars on the hand, as well as wear on the finger-tips, which he realizes came from reading Braille, determining that the victim is blind.

Berlin does his best to convince Freddy and his fellow officers of his suspicions, but Taylor and police chief Citrine refuse to believe that the hand found at the dump is in any way connected to the other case.

After consulting his former colleagues in Los Angeles, Berlin discovers that in the previous four years, six women, most of them blind, have either been found dead or are still missing, all within a 300-mile radius of San Diego.
