January 2nd: Sarah “Jeanette” Benson Killed (1981) Sometimes a random, senseless, and completely motiveless crime takes place that leaves investigators scratching their heads. On January 2nd 1981 a woman was attacked inside her home and, due in large part to the complete randomness of the crime, it remains unsolved to this day. https://www.wthitv.com/archive/police-continue-to-investigate-40-year-old-unsolved-sullivan-county-murder/article_fbbcf766-c6bd-54b9-87a0-29bc24bc88d8.html, https://wibc.com/123263/the-jeanette-benson-case-how-you-could-help-solve-a-murder/, https://www.wishtv.com/news/indiana-news/cold-case-police-in-sullivan-county-seek-leads-in-1980s-murder/, https://www.sullivan-times.com/news/investigators-continue-to-ask-for-public-s-help-in-sarah-jeanette-benson-murder/article_eee62520-6d9d-11ec-b951-fbb03121209b.html, https://www.wthitv.com/news/sullivan-county-cold-case-murder-goes-unsolved-for-43-years/article_118371a6-aa72-11ee-bc8d-db947e34d333.html, https://fox59.com/news/new-details-on-farmersburg-murder-case-42-years-later/, https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/indiana-sheriffs-office-releases-photos-of-shoes-possibly-worn-by-suspect-in-1981-unsolved-murder Learn more about your ad choices.

December 30th: Anthony Barbaro Kills (1974) Not all school shooters fit the profile we’ve made up in our heads. The one fed to us by Hollywood, the media and, in some cases, actual real life experience. On December 30th 1974 a young man walked into a school armed and ready to pull the trigger. A boy who didn’t really fit the profile of a school shooter in the same way we’ve come to expect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Olean_High_School_shooting, https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/31/archives/3-killed-and-9-wounded-by-an-upstate-sniper-18-3-killed-and-9.html, https://murderpedia.org/male.B/b/barbaro-anthony.htm, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81616968/anthony-f-barbaro Learn more about your ad choices.
