The Alphabet Murders — Rochester's Unsolved Child Killings

The Alphabet Murders, also called the Double Initial Murders, were the killings of three young girls in the Rochester, New York, area in 1971 and 1973. Each victim's first and last name began with the same letter — Carmen Colon, Wanda Walkowicz, and Michelle Maenza — and each body was found in a town beginning with the same letter as the victim's name. The murders prompted a massive investigation and a 1992 cold case review that generated a DNA profile of the suspect, but no match has ever been found. The case remains officially unsolved.
