⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of child murder, sexual assault, and strangulation. Listener discretion is unequivocally advised. Interstate 490. Rochester, New York. November 17, 1971. 5:10 p.m. Dozens of drivers are heading home from work. The highway is crowded. The sun is setting. And on the side of the road — visible to every single person passing by — is the body of a ten-year-old girl. No one stops. Her name was Carmen Colon. She had been missing for eight hours. And she would not be the last. Over the next two years, two more girls disappeared from Rochester. Wanda Walkowicz, 11. Michelle Maenza, 11. All three were abducted in the afternoon. All three were sexually assaulted and strangled. All three were left on the sides of busy roads, visible, almost as if the killer wanted them to be found. And all three had double initials. C.C. W.W. M.M. The Alphabet Murders. In this solo episode, Bubah walks through the full story — who these girls were before they were victims, the details of each disappearance, the deeply flawed multi-agency investigation, the suspects who were questioned and never charged, and the fifty years of silence that followed. He examines every theory, gives the families the weight they deserve, and asks the question that has haunted Rochester since 1971: Who killed the Alphabet girls? The Monroe County Sheriff's Office lists this case as open and active. The killer has never been found. Carmen. Wanda. Michelle. Three girls. Three families. Fifty years. Still waiting for justice.
