I have been looking through the forums and am surprised that I haven't seen the case below mentioned. Below is from the Washington Examiner..

Cold case detectives in Fairfax County are looking for the killer or killers of two Marions.
In 2006, two elderly women named Marion were slain in Springfield. On Nov. 21, 2006, at approximately 11:15 a.m., police responded to a murder on 7102 Reservoir Road in Springfield. A friend had discovered the body of 74-year-old Marion Newman earlier that morning inside the home. The cause of death was trauma to the upper body, according to the police report. The investigation reported that there were no signs of forced entry, but there were signs of a struggle.
Police have not yet found a motive for the killing. Though they have not determined whether it was a robbery, a distinctive ring that Newman often wore was missing from her body. The white gold ring, illustrated with a leaf design on the band, was custom-made. It included a three-diamond setting and the diamonds were set side by side. According to Fairfax County police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell, people who knew Newman said it was unusual for her to be without the ring.
"The detective hopes that someone who is familiar with the ring either bought it or looked at it or saw it at a pawn shop," Caldwell told The Examiner.
Earlier that year, on Aug. 14, police had responded to a similar slaying in a neighborhood not far from Newman's. At 6:10 p.m., Marion Marshall was found dead in her home at 6620 Bostwick Drive. Like Newman, the cause of death was trauma to the upper body. Store surveillance videos from the Giant Food at the Bradlick Shopping Center show that Marshall had been shopping at about 11:15 a.m. that morning.
A cold case detective with the Fairfax County police has looked at similarities in the two cases.
"There are pieces that link them and continue to link them," Caldwell said.
Despite the many leads on the two slayings, none has yielded a suspect
