Taken from Wikipedia here are the names of each victim and the dates of abduction. Also date and place found. Each girl's first and last name began with the same letter as did the town where they were dumped. All but one were fed before being murdered. A movie was made last year loosely based on this case. Carmen Colon, 11, disappeared November 16, 1971. She was found two days later in Churchville, 12 miles from where she was last seen. Wanda Walkowicz, 11, disappeared April 2, 1973. She was found the next day at a rest area off State Route 104, seven miles from Rochester. Michelle Maenza, 10, disappeared November 26, 1973. She was found two days later in Macedon, 15 miles from Rochester. Thease killings took place between 1971 and 1973. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet_murdersAbove is the Wiki entry.

More links on this still unsolved case. also, a movie was made with a fictionalized account of the case. ochester Police Investigator Joseph Dominick, whose father investigated Michelle's murder in the 1970s, reopened the case in 2001. In recent weeks, he enlisted the Monroe County (Fla.) Sheriff's Department to tail Pressler and look for any chance to get his DNA. The cigarette butt was enough, cops said. Michelle's murder was the fourth and last of the "Alphabet murders" of little girls in Rochester whose first and last names started with the same letter. All four were raped and strangled, and all but Michelle were dumped in towns whose names also started with the same letter. www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2007/10/04/2007-10-04_dna_from_cigarette_butt_may_nail_76s_alp-2.htmln the early 1970s, three girls in the Rochester area who had first and last names with the same initial were abducted not far from their homes while running late-afternoon errands to the store for their mothers. They were later found raped and strangled. Wanda Walkowicz and Michelle Maenza, both 11, were killed in 1973 and 10-year-old Carmen Colon in 1971. Police questioned more than 800 suspects in the “double-initial slayings,” but no one was ever arrested. Currently, Green cautioned, “there is no allegation” that Pressler “is in any way linked to those crimes.” www.auburnpub.com/articles/2007/10/04/news/state/state03.txtFor decades, Termini would stay at the top of the list of possible suspects. Then, in 2007, police would get another chance to test that theory — when they exhumed Termini's corpse. He was ruled out. www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090301/NEWS01/903010314
