What a lifestyle it was. The money flooded in from his numerous rackets. ibid.

April 2011: a man has been arrested ... police allege he killed four young women with double-initial names in California between 1977 and 1994 ... The suspect lived in Rochester in the 1960s and ’70s. ibid.
This forty-year mystery has taken its toll. ibid.
Wanda Walkowicz was found dead in Webster. Michelle Maenzas body was dumped in Macedon. And Carmen Colon’s was discovered near Churchville.
More than 22 years later, acting on a tip from a prison informant, investigators are revisiting the so-called ‘double-initial’ murders.
All three girls Wanda and Michelle were 11, Carmen was 10 had first and last names with the same initial and were abducted not far from their homes while running late-afternoon errands for their mothers.
They were raped and strangled and their bodies dumped in plain view in or near Rochester-area villages that bore the same first initial as their names.
A convicted murderer at a maximum-security prison now claims to know who killed them, and the suspect is believed to be still living in this region on Lake Ontario's southern shore, Sheriff Richard Pisciotti said.
The informant passed on ‘interesting things’ about one of the crime scenes that ‘we consider worthy of further investigation,’ Pisciotti said.
Carmen was killed in 1971, Wanda and Michelle in 1973. Police questioned more than 800 suspects, but no one was ever arrested. Associated Press article Ben Dobbin, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 15th December 1995
