Dorothy T. Cerny, 25, of Chicago was one of two victims ambushed and killed on June 3, 1973, while traveling with her fiance9 James Schmidt on Highway 57 in Cook County. Witness accounts in the case say the couple were forced from their car, made to lie face down at the roadside, and murdered with close-range shotgun blasts by a group of four men led by Henry Brisbon.

Prosecutors identified Brisbon as the triggerman. Several accomplices were arrested and prosecuted: David Sanders, Stanley Charleston, and Darrel Thompson were implicated in the attack. Sanders faced multiple murder and armed robbery counts; court records show he was convicted and his appeal failed. Brisbon was later labeled the I-57 Killer in reporting and received lengthy prison sentences for the double murder.

Who remembers Dorothy or James, or saw anything on Highway 57 that night that could shed more light on what happened?
