Summary

On March 8, 1966, a crime committed in broad daylight shattered the sense of safety in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Seven-year-old Wendy Wolin was killed, and the shock of what happened that day would echo through the community for decades. Former Mayor, Tom Dunn, who served for 28 years put it very bluntly saying “It scared the hell out of the city.” In this episode, we revisit moment everything changed, one of the most extensive manhunts in New Jersey history, and how her killer may have escaped justice. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Elizabeth Police Department at 908-558-2000.
