Summary

Three young girls were kidnapped, raped, and strangled to death near Rochester, NY in the early 70s. Carmen Colon, Michelle Maenza, and Wanda Walkowicz. Their crimes became referred to as the Alphabet Murders or the Double Initial Killings due to the first letter in their first name matching the first letter in their last name. No one has ever been caught but there are a variety of disturbing suspects including two different serial killers and another serial rapist. Then, in 2011, Joseph Naso was arrested for and then convicted of four additional double initial murders in California. And where is Joseph Naso from? Rochester, NY. Did he commit all seven killings? And possibly others? Find out today in a "I can't believe how many dirtbags were living in Rochester in the 1970s" edition of Timesuck!

0:00.0	On November 16th, 1971, 10-year-old Carmen Cologne disappeared from church-filled New York.
0:06.5	Little village, just 50 miles west downtown Rochester, sent you part of the suburbs.
0:11.2	She was last seen climbing into a car of an unknown suspect,
0:14.6	sometime between 4.25, 5.00 pm outside of Jack's drugs.
0:18.9	A little pharmacy after dropping out for prescription requests for her step sister,
0:22.8	5.30 pm. The girl matching Carmen's description, seeing naked from the waist down,
0:28.4	witnessed attempting to run away from a car on the side of Interstate 490 West,
0:34.2	near the church-filled exit. She's waving her arms frantically, screaming for help as cars
0:39.0	barrel past during rush hour. A car is rapidly backing up to her, and then whoever was driving
0:45.4	that car catches up to her and takes her away. Several motorists see all of this go down,
0:50.7	and yet no one comes to her rescue. No one stops. And the days before cell phones, no one calls
0:56.9	the police. No one calls the police when they make it back home after seeing all of this happen.
1:01.2	No one, not one single person, makes a single call about the girl they'd seen running half naked
1:08.3	and afraid away from some stranger's car until three days later. After her photograph appears
1:14.3	in the area's two newspapers, the Democrat and Chronicle, and the Times Union, when the two papers
1:19.4	announced that Carmen's body had just been discovered after her brutal rape and murder.
1:24.8	Even then, only a few individuals out of the hundreds of cars estimated to have seen this go
1:30.0	down off of I-490, come forward to describe what they've seen. One said that while he thought it was
1:36.2	odd that a young girl would be running half naked towards traffic on a busy highway, he was in the
1:40.6	passing lane of heavy traffic when he saw her and thought for sure that someone behind him would stop
1:45.2	to see if something was wrong. Another insistent he thought the car he saw backing up towards his
1:49.8	child was just allowing her to go out and use the bathroom. Uh-huh. Sure, because that's how
