On September 22, 1980 the bodies of four men were discovered in the mechanics room at Sammy White’s Brighton Bowl in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston. The victims were employees of the bowling alley: 23-year-old Brian Cobe, George Hagelstein, Donald Doroni, and David Cobe. Each had been restrained with hands behind the back, suffered a single head wound from a .38 caliber handgun, and multiple blunt head injuries. Three were dead at the scene; Brian Cobe died shortly after being taken to a hospital.

Police focused on a suspect, Bryan A. Dyer, who had worked at the bowling alley in 1973 and had been seen there in August 1980. A witness known as Flynn reported seeing a large light green car near the alley the morning of the killings and identified Dyer from a picture as the driver. Dyer’s taxi log gave no confirmed fares between about 6:00 A.M. and 8:18 A.M.; he turned in his cab near 9:00 A.M., checked the car’s seats, and was seen with a plastic trash bag he later put in his trunk.

Did anyone who worked at or visited Sammy White’s Brighton Bowl around September 1980 see the green car or notice anything unusual that morning?
