"Lonely Hearts Copycat Killer?"

(Published in Le Mot, The Azilum Times-Record, some version also appears in Local and National news and wire services )
In the summer of 1974 the Lenape Valley was swept in a wave of fear. A brutal, cannibalistic serial killer named William Parker Powell terroriszed the valley and led the police on a 14 month chase until he was finally apprehended. Powell was famous for removing the heart of his victims and devouring the flesh. Before the year was over he is known to have murdered at least nine victims and is suspected to have killed as many as 26 deaths. He was executed in the electric chair in 1985.

On March 14th, 2017 Azilum experienced its worst blizzard in thirty years. At the height of the blizzard two people from Boston Massachusetts, Charles Calthrop and Maria Diza, were found murdered and their mutilated bodies were left on the Jean Peirre Gaultierre bridge. The bodies were found by a municipal worker driving one of the many snowplows throughout the city. Reports from the scene indicate that the bodies were mutilated in a way consistent with the Powell murders from almost 40 years ago.

Police claim they have several leads. Police detective Raymond Fabian: “The location of the bodies  and the intensity of the storm tell us that the killers had to be driving an SUV. They are reviewing eyewitness reports and closed-circuit cameras from near the crime scene as a primary line of investigation.

Calthrop and Diaz were travelling from Boston on business and were staying at a local hotel. They were reported to be travelling with a third unidentified individual. This individual is currently missing. If anyone can assist the police with identity of this individual they are directed to call the Police Tipline, tollfree at 18005551212.
