La polizia chiede aiuto (Translation: The Police Ask for Help), known better as What Have They Done to Your Daughters?, is a 1974 Italian giallo/poliziottesco film directed by the late Massimo Dallamano; starring Giovanna Ralli, the late Claudio Cassinelli, and Mario Adorf. The film was also released as The Coed Murders in the United States
A teen girl is found hanging from the rafters in the attic of a Brescia apartment, apparently having committed suicide. However, it is soon uncovered that she was a victim of a child prostitution ring and was murdered to keep her quiet. As the police look more into the case, a meat cleaver-wielding biker dressed in black begins killing off anyone with information.
