In February 1960, the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, was rocked by the violent murder of teenager Sandra Valade. Three years later, another teenager, Pamela Mason, was killed in the same manner. A quiet housewife named Rena Paquette confided to police that she knew who murdered the two teens. Just days after coming forward, she was found dead under mysterious circumstances by her son, Danny Paquette.

This episode skims over a lot of details. One of the reasons the police had such a hard time narrowing down a lead (and probably the same reason reason the town didn't persue the rumors of who the killer was) is that the victim was kind of the town bicycle. It didn't matter if someone was underage, married, or anything, anyone without a Y chromosome was fair game. Probably half the men in the small town had a reason to want him dead, and many who heard the rumors probably figured he had it coming.
