The Newman Family Murders

On the morning of March 14th 1987, the bodies of 32 year old Nancy Newman and her two daughters, 8 year old Melissa and 3 year old Angie were found in their apartment, after each having suffered an incredibly violent death.

While valuable items were missing, investigators quickly inferred that this was not a robbery gone wrong. These murders were personal and that made it all the more haunting.
