The Discovery of Several Unidentified Bodies in New Britain Sparks Fear of A Possible Serial Killer
On September 28, 1995, a patrol officer made a startling discovery behind a Hartford Road Strip Mall just a hundred yards off of Route 9. Wrapped in plastic and a sleeping bag, a dead young woman shot in the head once. To this day, her identity is still unknown. Her age was estimated to be about 17 to 20 years old. Her race was white, possibly hispanic. She weighed 116 pounds, was 5'3, had brown hair and brown eyes. She had a vertical piercing above her naval. She was found wearing white farmer type jeans, white athletic socks, LA Gear shoes size 6 1/2, a size 34B maroon bra, a Gitano watch, a herringbone necklace and a ring with a pink stone on her right hand. There is a $50,000 reward authorized by the State of Connecticut for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of this crime.

The Second Unidentified Murder Victim (picture of composite sculpture on the right)was a female estimated to be in her mid-twenties that was found in garbage bags near the railroad tracks on Myrtle Street across from what used to be the Fafnir Bearing Company. The victim was found by a survey crew on October 11, 1991, she is probably white or light skinned Hispanic. She has been described as being five feet, five inches tall and around 130-135lbs. She was shot in the head and was deceased for approximately two months. The victim was wearing a white sun dress with no sleeves. The sun dress has a pattern of panda bears consisting of a panda holding a red ice cream, a panda holding a red umbrella, a panda holding a yellow heart, and two pandas holding each other. She had a small tooth that protruted from her mouth that gave her a distinctive smile. See picture.

UPDATE September 7, 2007, both media outlets WTNH and WVIT report that the skeletal remains of three women have been found in a wooded area behind the strip mall on Hartford Road where the unidentified victim in 1995 was found. One victim is estimated to be between the ages of 18-35, while the another is thought to be between the ages of 30-40. The third victim is thought to be between the ages of 40 to 60. Media reports indicate that Police believe that the victims have been deceased between 4 to 15 years. Police have given no indication whether the discovery of these remains are linked to each other or even the prior victim in 1995. The area behind the shopping center is known to be a refuge for homeless people.
On Friday, September 25, myself, James Droskoski, along with two friends, Charles Vaccaro and Wayne Ciolino, had taken Charles' boat, the Trade Wins, from Port Washington Harbor to go to the Norwalk boat show. As I was driving near buoy #32 outside of Stamford Harbor, I spotted what was clearly a person floating on their back which cause me to veer out of the way to avoid. My first reaction was that she was a swimmer which seemed odd being that we were very far from shore and there were no other boats in sight. Wayne had also seen the body but had a different immediate reaction of shrieking in horror. I immediately turned the boat around to see if it were indeed a swimmer that needed help. Unfortunately as we got close, it was very clear that this person was not alive and we could not believe what we were seeing. We circled several times to make sure we weren't seeing a mannequin or some sort of fake person-doll. We then radioed the USCG on channel 16 and alerted them of our position and that we believe we had just found a dead female body. First a 2 man USCG auxiliary boat approached and went straight to the body. They confirmed that there was a female "floater" and radioed the confirmation in. Next Stamford Police arrived as well. Then another USCG larger boat. Eventually we were released and the authorities continued their investigation.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the only comfort I could find in such a bizarre and horrible situation was that we had just found someone's daughter, possible mother, wife, friend, etc and at least now she could be brought home to her loved ones and friends. To my knowledge, the authorities still do not know who she is or have any idea what happened. I am hoping that maybe there is some slight chance that by sharing this story in every way that I can, someone might know some information that could help identify this woman. Below are links to the news stories and contact info if you have any information.
The woman was white and in her mid-40s. She had dark hair and wore a white T-shirt with black shorts. The shirt had the word "Love" written across it in red-and-blue letters and featured a peace symbol. On her right ring finger was a ring in a butterfly design, police said.
Anyone with information on the identity of the woman whose body was found Friday should call the Detective Bureau of the Stamford Police Department at (203) 977-4417.
