Autumn's Oddities
Between 1986 and 1989, the Colonial Parkway thoroughfare in Virginia served as a suspected serial killer’s hunting grounds. The killer or killers responsible for the Colonial Parkway murders targeted couples as they sat in their vehicles, each incident taking two lives at a time. Six people are confirmed dead and another couple remains missing and presumed killed.

The Unsolved Murder in the Stacks

12 Recommendations

The story of Penn State University graduate student Betsy Aardsma’s unsolved murder has haunted the campus as a kind of urban legend for more than five decades. Although told as a ghost story, those who investigated fear that her very real murder is being forgotten.
On Thanksgiving weekend 1969, 22-year-old Betsy was murdered by a single stab wound to the chest in the stacks of the Pattee Library. Her killer has never been caught.
