The Boccaccio's Massacre: Part Two

Who killed four Bocaccio's employees in the wilds of Florida over four decades ago? Why has the case remained unsolved for so long? And what exactly can be done to change that?

This follow-up episode looks into some of the suspects who've been discussed in connection with the case over the years. From drug connections to unwitting recognitions, these are the theories that have swirled around the case for years.

We'll also look into some striking similarities between the Bocaccio's massacre, and the Burger Chef murders. In both instances, four employees were forced out of the business, driven several miles away, and killed in a remote, wooded area (with a .38 gun involved in both crimes). If you need a refresher on the Burger Chef case, we cover it in the first 10 episodes of the Murder Sheet.

Lastly, we'll delve into the importance of investigative agencies devoting resources to solving cold cases. To learn more about the unsolved murder of Scott Burnham's cousin Ann Harmeier, follow Who Killed Ann? on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
