background articles.

Investigators believe that seven to 10 young men and women kidnapped the New Milford teenager and took her to a remote spot along the Housatonic River. There, as the women watched, sources say, some of the men gang-raped the seventh-grader, wrapped her in a blanket and chains and threw her into the water - confident they had concealed their crime.

Judge Robert C. Brunetti needed about 30 seconds to determine that a reasonable person would believe Ronald Rajcok played a significant role in the kidnapping and killing of Maryann Measles, and that the state could prosecute murder and felony murder charges against Rajcok.

I posted regarding the outrage I felt towards these 10 sick individuals who carried out this crime - my words and feelings for them are harsh and my post reflected that. A reader notified the mod bc they were offended by its harsh tone and I just asked the mod. to delete it bc I can't express my feelings towards this crime in any way less harsh than I did. But I just want to clarify for anyone who misread - I in no way meant to include MaryAnn or her family in my harsh treatment. MaryAnn and her family did nothing to deserve this and in no way contributed to this crime. On these forums and in the news, we've sadly become accustomed to crazy, sick, twisted individual acting alone raping, murdering, etc. for pleasure - but that 10 people were involved and NOT one of them realized what an evil and stupid thing they were doing! It's amazing and it makes sick.

Another Defendant Sentenced In Measles Killing


LITCHFIELD -- The man who drove Maryann Measles to a secluded spot along the Housatonic River north of New Milford, where a gang of men and women beat, raped and murdered the 13-year-old, was sentenced today to 36 years in prison.

Authorities say five men and three women conspired to kidnap and scare the girl after she filed statutory rape complaints against two of the men. At some point during the assault and rape, Maryann was asphyxiated.

Connecticut high court upholds Dupas' 47-year sentence
Dupas sought reduced term for testimony against cohort

The Connecticut Supreme Court has rejected a shorter prison sentence for one of eight people convicted in the rape and murder of a 13-year-old New Milford girl.

The high court on Monday unanimously upheld the 47-year prison sentence of Deaneric Dupas...

...Maryann Measles was kidnapped Oct. 19, 1997, as she waited in a New Milford parking lot for her mother, who was shopping for groceries. She was raped and strangled. Then her body was wrapped in a blanket and chains and dumped into the Housatonic River.

The body was found the next spring floating in Lake Lillinonah...

Maryann Measles was 13 years old when she was kidnapped from a New Milford shopping center, sexually assaulted and drowned in Lake Lillinonah in October 1997.

Her death and the lasting effect it had on those close to her are the focus of the latest episode of an ID Channel show called “A Killer Among Friends.”
The episode recounts the twists and turns of the case, which resulted in the arrest of eight individuals: A.J. Walter Jr., Jeffrey Boyette Jr., Dorothy Hallas, Deaneric Dupas, Ronald Rajcok, June Bates Seger, Keith Foster and Maggie Mae Bennett.
Shortly before her 1997 disappearance and murder, Maryann told her mother she had been sexually assaulted by Foster and Walter — who were 21 and 19 years old at the time — and filed a statutory rape report with New Milford police.
