The following case  references crimes committed against children. The details provided within this episode are relevant to the case and necessary in explaining the case. Our intent is to spread awareness in hopes of one day seeing this case solved and justice served. As we always strive to do, we will treat the details and those impacted by the case with dignity and respect.

Between 1971 and 1973 in the city of Rochester, New York three murders took place that to this day have yet to be solved. Carmen Colon, Wanda Walkowicz, and Michelle Maenza  were girls aged ten or eleven whose last name began with the same letter as that of her first name.   

The Alphabet murders (also known as the Double Initial murders) are an unsolved series of child murders which occurred between 1971 and 1973 in Rochester, New York 

To this day people still debate if it was the same killer or if there are more than one individual involved......what is MOST important is that we continue to drive awareness to this case in the hopes that one day it will be solved and justice will be served.
