Minnie Sutton, a 37-year-old Black woman, was murdered in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the early 1990s. Her body was found in her home; she had been strangled and stabbed multiple times in the forehead, neck, chest and stomach. Her 3-year-old son was in the home during the attack but was physically unharmed.

Sutton’s killing was one of several brutal homicides in the city’s East End that included sexual assault and postmortem mutilation, prompting a special task force. The cases went cold until cold case detectives in 2000 sent DNA from the Bridgeport scenes to the FBI and obtained a match to Emanuel Lovell Webb, a man who by then was incarcerated in Georgia for a similar 1994 murder. Webb was charged in the Bridgeport cases and in 2008 pleaded no contest to the murders of Sutton, Sharon Cunningham and Elizabeth Gandy, receiving a 60-year sentence for the stranglings.

Did anyone in Bridgeport at the time have information about unusual visitors or persons seen near the victims’ homes?
