Crough, although not at liberty to disclose information on recent DNA analyses and other forensic findings, was helpful in providing answers to questions fit for public consumption. There is evidence that has never been divulged to the public, because the case has not been closed. Investigators know much more about the Double Initial homicides than they can say without compromising the integrity of the case. Several men have been questioned as suspects, either for all three murders or at least one of them. A retired Monroe County Sheriff’s Office investigator, Sergeant Patrick Crough, describes a good many of the area’s local sexual predators in his 2009 book The Serpents Among Us, including the still elusive Double Initial murderer, who is believed to be responsible for the murders of Carmen, Wanda, and Michelle. The city proper lies within Monroe County. The Greater Rochester area encompasses the counties of Monroe, Wayne, Genesee, Livingston, Ontario, and Orleans. Located in the western Finger Lakes region on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, Rochester is New York’s thirdlargest metropolitan area, after New York City and Buffalo. Nevertheless, the coincidental double initials have become so strongly identified with the murders that the case is now known as the Double Initial Murders or the Alphabet Killings. Although the media attached much weight to the double initial aspect of the three murders, many investigators have downplayed its significance. They went as follows: Carmen Colon near Churchville and Chili, Wanda Walkowicz in Webster, and Michelle Maenza in Macedon. But the slayings in the greater Rochester, New York, area between 19, although seemingly similar in premise, did not progress alphabetically like they did in Christie’s fiction. One can’t help but notice the eerie similarity in the sound of Carmichael Clarke from Churston and Carmen Colon from Churchville, who became the first Double Initial victim. The killer murders his victims in alphabetical order, his first being Alice Ascher from Andover, his second Betty Barnard of Bexhill-on-Sea, and his third Carmichael Clarke from Churston.
