Here are some cases in Chronological Order with victim descriptions and with cross reference as to where in this thread you can find further information on each.
There are probably quite a few other cases from this era which were discussed on the origional thread (the really long one) and on others. I have tried to include vital statistics for each of these victims where I could find the information.
Of course, not all of these cases are related to the Lyon Sisters' case, but I feel very strongly that some of them are. And there may be connections between others as well.
