Margo Lovett was 6 when she and her two younger sisters, Cynthia, 4, and Holly, 2, were found dead from gunshot wounds in Spencer, Massachusetts, on February 28, 1972. All three children were killed the same day; memorial listings and firearm-homicide compilations consistently record the date, town, and the sisters’ names.

Researchers seeking further confirmation are pointed toward historical vital records and state archives for older case files.

Does anyone remember the Lovett family or have information that could shed light on what happened that winter day in Spencer?
