Does Worcester have a serial killer?

That’s what residents were asking Worcester Police in early 1993.

From December 1992 to February 1993, four women were killed. They had all been strangled to death. 

On February 4, 1993, the bodies of 23-year-old Sonia Blanco and 25-year-old Evelyn Cruz were discovered just a few miles apart and within 20 minutes of each other. 

30 years later, the murders of Sonia Blanco and Evelyn Cruz remain unsolved.

23-year-old Sonia Blanco and 25-year-old Evelyn Cruz are not alone.

Not only will their deaths forever be connected – both women killed on Feb. 4, 1993, their bodies beaten and severely bruised, both strangled to death and dumped to the curb from a vehicle – but they’re among a half a dozen or so women all killed in similar fashion over a five-year period in Worcester.

Each victim violently strangled and each murder unsolved. 

It’s early Thursday, December 28, 1995.
