Notorious: Wyoming County's Most Infamous Murders 1848-1913

By: Wallace, Laurinda

Wyoming County which is located in the rolling hills of Western New York is well known for its dairy farms, the scenic vistas of Letchworth State Park, and peaceful villages. However, throughout its law-abiding history, murder has occasionally taken center stage, especially between the years of 1848 through1913 when nine notorious murder cases became frontpage news. From unsolved homicides with victims found in wells, a poisoning, shootings, and a particularly gruesome ax murder, the unlikely murderers came from all walks of life, revealing a dark streak of violence hidden in the rural countryside. Early forensics came into play with varying degrees of success, and mistakes made by law enforcement during the investigations affected the outcomes. Was justice served in these cases? Was the truth revealed at the trials? Follow the evidence and see for yourself.
