Others were already violent offenders. And one would later become infamous as part of the Hillside Stranglers.\nWe examine James Barber, Rochester’s so-called “Garage Rapist” Dennis Termini, Kenneth Bianchi, and convicted serial killer Joseph Naso—including the evidence that made each man a compelling suspect and the problems that kept investigators from closing the case.  \nOne suspect was even exhumed decades after his death so investigators could compare his DNA to biological evidence recovered from Wanda Walkowicz. The result? No match. Another had striking similarities to the crimes but no physical evidence connecting him to the Rochester murders. \nMore than 50 years later, the murders remain officially unsolved, and the three cases have never been conclusively proven to be the work of a single killer. But preserved evidence from Wanda’s case could still offer one path forward: genetic genealogy. \nSo who killed Carmen, Wanda and Michelle? Was one of these suspects responsible—or has the real killer never been publicly identified?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ZGwrQrs0EM3GMY-L4vkfLbs_COHToi67abOhAfeSSg0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNjZl/OGM0Nzc5ZTAzODYz/Y2E5ZjhhYmIzMTdj/ZjQzNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
