Image
      Carol Ann Manzo was born on May 14th, 1947 to Catherine Ciampa Manzo and Gerald Manzo in Olean, New York. Carol had a younger brother named Michael.    Carol Ann Manzo went to nursing school at the St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing in Olean.    Carol Ann married Daniel Fitzmaurice in 1968. He and his family had a house moving business and he worked with his father. (One article said it was also a rigging business and another said it was a wrecking business.)    The couple had a new house north of Allegany near Five Mile Creek. The area around there today consists of wooded hillsides, small farms and some small fields of row crops. I wasn’t able to pinpoint where their home was. One article called it the “former ranch of Carl Hamm”.   On Tuesday, October 22nd, 1970 she worked a half day at the doctor’s office. She had lunch with her parents. Then she went home to start dinner and wash and set her hai...

He was playing pinball.   Where was the bowling alley located? Who else was at the bowling alley that night?   His bicycle was found the next day about 12 blocks away from the bowling alley near a music store on May 21st, 1979. What music store was that? Where was it located? Was it the Marquart Music Store in the Brookwood Shopping Center? That’s not too far from the church Jack attended.    But, there was no sign of Jack. None of his friends had heard from him.   Police u...

Image
       Linda O’Day was born on January 13th, 1953 to Martha S. and Maurice O’Day in Wilmington, Delaware. She had three sisters and three step sisters.    When Linda was only ten, she and her eight year old sister, Martha, were in a car accident. The two had been passengers in a car and Linda’s little sister, Martha, was fatally injured in that accident. That must have been a very traumatic loss for Linda and her family.   Linda grew up in New Castle, Delaware. She graduated from William Penn High School.   In 1981, she lived just a block from the house she’d grown up in. Her parents had sold the house in the previous years.

She had worked there for several years.    She also worked part time in the evenings at a Mc...
