Between 1971 and 1973, three child murders rocked the community in and around Rochester, New York. All three victims shared numerous similarities, but perhaps most peculiar was that they all had first and last names that started with the same letter.

The Rochester Police Department is still actively investigating this case so any tips should be directed to 585-428-6720.
