There is nothing to link a serial killer to this and the other murders in the Connecticut River Valley. (link is here for that. Link,17} AGNEW2_PKG)

There is an excellent book about these murders called The Shadow of Death by Philip Ginsburg: Amazon.com: The Shadow of Death: The Hunt for a Serial Killer (9780684194059): Philip E. Ginsburg: Books

I could not access the link so I'm not sure of the context but are you saying that Barbara Agnew was conclusively not linked to the other murders or that a serial killer was not at work for any of the murders? VT and NH LE have been denying a serial killer link for the past 25 years, but I think it's hard to deny that some of the murders (perhaps not Agnew's) are related to one another.

Also the heading on this should be VT, not CT.

I don't know if anything ever came of it but a man in Grafton made a deathbed confession that he witnessed group of his friends commit this murder. Curiously enough, his account is corroborated by an eyewitness (later dismissed due to issues concerning timeline) who allegedly saw a group of men forcing a woman into a van at the rest stop where Agnew's car was found.

Furthermore, this wasn't the only case in the CT River Valley series where there was evidence that multiple perpetrators were involved. (Bernice Courtemanche was last seen getting into a white pickup truck with two or three men on North Street in Clairemont.)

I live nearby but never heard of this case before (I was a child when it actually occurred...)

“She just crossed paths with a random act of evil… in a blizzard… on a January night in Vermont,” said Brad Hanson, Vermont State Police Cold Case Specialist.

January 10th, 1987, was the last time anyone saw Barbara Agnew alive. She was traveling back to Norwich from a day of skiing at Stratton Mountain. The 39-year-old pulled off into a rest stop on interstate I-91 in eastern Vermont near Hartford.

Bumping and mods can we fix this? It’s Hartford, VT. Not CT.
