On February 28, 1973, three people were found shot to death in a home in Fairfax, Virginia: 53-year-old Ruth Sherman, 21-year-old Delores S. McMillan, and 3-year-old William McMillan. Authorities reported no signs of forced entry at the residence, a detail that led investigators to consider that the victims may have known their killer.

Detectives focused on people connected to the victims and identified Raymond Lee Lorton as a person of interest. Lorton was arrested and charged with three counts of murder; prosecutors presented evidence at trial and a jury returned a guilty verdict. Lorton was sentenced for the killings, closing a case that had deeply affected the Fairfax neighborhood.

If anyone knew Ruth Sherman or the McMillans, or has information about the events leading up to February 28, 1973, please come forward with what you remember.
