Carol Ann Fitzmaurice

A nurse? Stabbed 14 times during the day in a rural location? Could the killer of Carol Ann Fitzmaurice have migrated north after 1970 to become the predator known as the Connecticut River Valley Killer in the 1980s? A neighbor remembers seeing "... a thin individual, about six feet tall with narrow facial features – near the home around the time of the murder. Police said the man's red or maroon car..." Cold Case Files: Brutal 1970 murder of nurse remains a mystery  By Dan Herbeck |   February 3, 2018 The Buffalo News Nearly five decades later, the murder of Carol Ann Fitzmaurice still haunts retired State Police Investigator J. Thomas Stofer. Every once in awhile, his mind races back to Oct. 20, 1970, and the unanswered questions that still puzzle and distress him. Why would anyone walk into a house in Cattaraugus County farm country and brutally stab a 23-year-old nurse who had no known enemies? Did the killer k...

Debra Horne

People in Allenstown, NH still remember the winter of 1969 when 11 yr old Debra Lee Horn disappeared from her home.   The following summer, several teen-age boys discovered her body in the trunk of a car in Sandown, NH.     She was nude and had probable head trauma, just like the girl found in the barrel in Bear Brook State Park fifteen years later.   Is it just a coincidence that this tiny rural town has two similar homicides of young girls?  Or was there someone connected to Allenstown who was the worst kind of predator? There were more than a few around . Robert Breest was living in Allenstown in the late 60s when he got this mortgage for a place in Hooksett.

Child Remains in Missoula Shed

  Hope these 3 children wound up in a safe and loving home with their mother and not in a box in a shed. Makes you wonder why they were left with their uncle in the first place.    Information on this page is from articles cited at the bottom of page and from the research of Jessica Velstra. It cannot be said with certainty that this box of bones represents a homicide(s) and certainly no one mentioned on this page is to be viewed as guilty of any crime. This research into the history of the property and its owners/tenants is to simply provide background and context around a puzzling development. We'd love to talk to anyone who used to live at this address, or their family members.   In September of 2017, a cleaning crew was hired to clean out a property at 2166 S 12th St W in  Missoula , Montana after an eviction of a tenant (Douglas Duane Labare) who had been living illegally on the property. Near the end of the month, the crew came across a cardbo...

Maureen and Jennifer Moynihan

Is there any possibility that the suspect in this case is the CT River Valley killer? Those stabbings to the neck... Unsolved, unproven? 33 years later, DNA may crack Rutland case           By Jean Laquidara Hill TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF   Jul 9, 2006 It started out like any other spring day for the residents of Rutland, a bucolic town of rolling hayfields and growing families. But for the Moynihan family of Nancy Drive, that day -- Tuesday, June 5, 1973 -- was anything but ordinary. The school year was winding down for Gerald F. Moynihan, a math teacher at West Boylston Junior-Senior High School. His wife, Maureen F. Moynihan, had left the couple’s neat ranch house that morning to drop off their 6-year-old son, Timothy, and his friends at afternoon kindergarten. Afterward, she ran errands with their 4-year-old daughter, Jennifer, including a stop...

John Rose and Susan Dessert

Questions re Rose and Dessert: a) W here are thes e two today? b) Was robbery the real motive in this crime? (because when you have a gun to rob so meone you don't need them naked and what would have happened if the victim who was tied up had not managed to escape? ) c) Were these two convicted of this crime, because I couldn't find any more articles about them after their arraignment?   d ) Would it be worthwhile having Jane Bor oski (1988 apparent victim of the "C T River Valley Killer") take a look at a photo of John Rose? Anyone have access to a photo? 2 HIKERS TERRORIZED BY ARMED COUPLE Telegram & Gazette [Worcester MA] 10 July 1989        Two women hiking in the White Mountains were terrorized by an armed couple yesterday - one of them chased and forced to disrobe at gunpoint, while the other struggled for an hour to free herself after being tied up, police said.       State police arrested a ma...
