On Easter Sunday, April 22, 1984, 14-year-old April Brunais and her friend Leslie Shelley, both 14, were walking home in Griswold, Connecticut when a man later identified as Michael Bruce Ross offered them a ride and drove past their destination. He then returned to the car, killed Leslie, placed both bodies in the trunk and dumped them in a culvert near Preston, Connecticut.

Investigators later linked these killings to Michael Bruce Ross, who confessed to the murders of April and Leslie and led police to several disposal sites. Ross was convicted of multiple murders attributed to the so-called Roadside Strangler.

Does anyone have memories of April or Leslie from Griswold or Preston in 1984, or information that could add detail to what happened that day?
